Paul clearly states that Yeshua the Anointed one emptied himself, (Philippians 2:7 ASV).
That is what happens when you do not actually believe Paul.

Philippians 2:7 ASV
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
And the definitions which insert the idea that Yeshua "laid aside his equality with God" are nothing more than expositors inserting their own heretical divisive dogma into the definition. It is utterly ridiculous to even suggest that God laid aside his equality with God to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God. Hence it is perfectly obvious to anyone with half a brain that even the definitions are not immune to the Trinitarian bias.
