dude, do you realize how many words are not in the text of the Bible that we use in teaching the Bible?
"Where do we find that in the text? " I can't answer that as the word, "text" is not in the Scriptures. I looked but that word is not found in the Scriptures.
Think about it logically, the 2nd member of the Godhead had in eternity and from eternity divine privileges or, as some would say, attributes. When He was made flesh He was no longer spirit, He was a man, human. At least one divine privilege or attribute He had enjoyed before He was made flesh was omnipresence. We know He was not omnipresent when we was on earth and incidentally, as He is still a man, He is still not omnipresent.
Also, before He was anointed at His baptism, He had no miraculous power that was not associated with His divine nature, godhood. He still was God and had all the knowledge of the universe but no power to manipulate creation through divine power. Once He was anointed He had that ability.
If you are reading a translation that say Jesus emptied Himself of divine nature you need to throw it away as it has a bona fide contradiction as Colossians teaches that in Him was all the fullness of the godhead.
There is nothing wrong with the word, privileges, nor the proposition that he emptied Himself of His divine privilege

what is your problem? What I said is true and you obviously understand that a word not being in the Bible does not negate its validity.
Also, if you think Jesus emptied Himself of divine nature you are dead wrong and will not make heaven as you are denying the godhood of Jesus.
I think I have you measured, 1 Timothy 1:7
I do not care one wit about the Nicean Creed.
