Maybe God is a Man like us, but that what is transparent and is all power is the spirit, maybe God Send the HOLY SPIRIT in the form of a dove to Christ.
Proverbs: Chapter 8 verse 22-33:
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor athe highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

The very language discloses that these were personal opinions of some one or some persons made in the past at some place.
Why an opinion be binding us irrespective of time, place and personality.
Are we slaves of others opinion?
Can not we make use of our God given faculties like intelligence, Conscience ans Consciousness to realize the Truth and God the knowable unknown? We can with the Blessings of God.

What is recorded concerning the Word in the Scriptures fits remarkably the description given at Proverbs 8:22-31. There wisdom is personified, represented as though able to speak and act. (Pr 8:1) Many professed Christian writers of the early centuries of the Common Era understood this section to refer symbolically to God’s Son in his prehuman state. In view of the texts already considered, there can be no denying that that Son was “produced” by Jehovah “as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago,” nor that the Son was “beside [Jehovah] as a master worker” during earth’s creation, as described in these verses of Proverbs.
It is true that in Hebrew, which assigns gender to its nouns (as do many other languages), the word for “wisdom” is always in the feminine gender. This would continue to be the case even though wisdom is personified and so would not rule out wisdom’s being used figuratively to represent God’s firstborn Son. The Greek word for “love” in the expression “God is love” (1Jo 4:8) is also in the feminine gender but that does not make God feminine. Solomon, the principal writer of Proverbs, applied the title qo·he′leth (congregator) to himself (Ec 1:1) and this word is also in the feminine gender.
Wisdom is manifest only by being expressed in some way. God’s own wisdom was expressed in creation (Pr 3:19, 20) but through his Son. So, too, God’s wise purpose involving mankind is made manifest through, and summed up in, his Son, Jesus Christ. Thus, the apostle could say that Christ represents “the power of God and the wisdom of God” and that Christ Jesus “has become to us wisdom from God, also righteousness and sanctification and release by ransom.”

You need to back up in the chapter to verse 1 "Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice?" verse 12 "I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I attain knowledge and discretion."
The words do not speak of man nor of Christ, but the wisdom of God. (wisdom typically considered a female trait in the ancient world I might add) It is a statement written in the Hellenistic period, when the Greeks were empire and Alexander ruled the world. For the Greek, Sophia (wisdom) was the highest of virtues. This Proverb is aligning the Greek ideal of Wisdom as a part of the creation (and therefore sub-ordinate) to God.

That way before anything was created....including in heaven....Jesus came from God....and we will not be able to understand that in our finite thinking.

God planned everything before it happened he knew what would happen and who would do what, so absolutely nothing surprises him.
