He received divine power at His baptism which was withdrawn at the cross. Since they assert man has no soul, he also ceased to exist during the three days he was dead. Upon his resurrection, Jesus became the fullness of deity in bodily form thus completing a three step progression in nature.

Is Suicide an answer to life's problems? Judas, who betrayed the sinless son of God, died in this form of shame. "And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself." (Matt. 27:5) Thus, he did commit suicide with the gloom of disgrace against his soul only to face the judgment in despair. Are you thinking about committing suicide? There is a better way for you to discover the happiness that has been so hard to find. There is a God and he knows your dilemma and provides answers for you. Listen then to His Word and realize that life is really worth living, for at least four reasons. First of all, you are made in the image or likeness of God, (Gen. 1:26,27) and that gives your life dignity and value that sets you apart from all living things. Because you have been created by a powerful and loving God means you are important. Not because of your educational level, your bank account, your social position, or any other human standard. You are important because you are a creature of God. ... ... https://www.bible.ca/s-suicide.htm

Biblical Subordination expressed by scholars Without doubt Paul attributes full divinity to Jesus ... Though at times he presents the Son as in some sense subordinate to the Father, he never makes the Son a creature. (The Triune God, Edmund Fortman, p23) Paul calls Him the image of God, Lord, Son of God, Christ. and Savior; he says that He subsists in the form of God and is equal to God; he assigns to Him the divine functions of creation, salvation, and judgment; and he probably also calls Him God explicitly.

Lesson 1: The Purpose Of Our Worship Of God ... Our salvation is a very serious matter and will not happen by accident. We must work it out "with fear and trembling". Our salvation depends on whether our worship is pleasing to God or not. On the Day of Judgment it will be too late to make any corrections. Worship should cause us to reflect on the majesty and graciousness of God and Christ, contrasted to our own unworthiness. God does not have to have our worship, but we must worship Him to please Him. Our singing, praying, studying His word, giving, and communion are designed by God to bring us closer to Him and to cause us to think more like He thinks, thus becoming more like Him. James 4:8 tells us to, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." Our worship not only honors and magnifies God, but it is also for our own edification and strength.
