Was there a time when Jesus Christ did not exist?

Was there a time when Jesus Christ did not exist?

This question can be looked at prior to the cross or at the cross when sin seperated him from God the Father, so lets start at the cross when Christ died, and then look at scripture before He was made flesh.....

The Death of Jesus
45From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. 46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi,[c] lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"[d]
47When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah."
48Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."
50And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

Did Christ die the same as man and know nothing in the sleep of death....

Johann:
It appears as if Jesus knew He was about to be separated from His Father. How else could He die? Did Jesus as God ever die?

"The Lord Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, existed from eternity, a distinct Person, yet one with the Father... He was with God from all eternity, God over all, blessed forevermore." E.G. White, 5 B.C.1126; Rom.9:5.

"When Christ was crucified, it was His human nature that died. Deity did not sink and die; that would have been an impossibility." E.G. White, 5 B.C.1113.

These are some of the references I had in mind. Now how will you present this truth from Scripture alone?

"From eternity to eternity You are God." Psalm 90:2.

"Christ who is God over all blessed forevermore." Romans 9:5.

Deity cannot die. "He who is blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality..." 1 Tim.1:16.

Is not Jesus Christ the King of kings and Lord of lords? Christ is immortal.
