Jesus was not "unequally-yoked" to the Father was He?
In other words, do you think He thought it was OK to be EQUAL with God?
I and the Father are one!
(John 10:30 MKJV)
For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God has highly exalted Him, and has given Him a name which is above every name,
(Philippians 2:5-9 MKJV)
Thank you, beloved soul, for considering this Q, and have a blessed evening : )

Jesus is God, he left his home in heaven giving up his rights as God and came here and lived among us as one of us. He lived the perfect life required of us by the Father.. And then gave up his life and died in our place for our sins once for all the just for the unjust. He is not unequally yoked with God he is God with us. That is what his name Emanuel means. God with us.
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The "unequally-yoked" phrase refers to non-believers. Neither one of them (Father or the Son) were non-believers, so the phrase is not applicable.

Jesus claimed equality with God, and did not consider it robbery to do so.
In fact, it was for that very reason that the religious leaders accused Him of blasphemy. They said "You, being a man, are making yourself to be equal to God." They were accusing Him of blasphemy for that very reason - He was claiming equality with God.
