Is Jesus God by nature? Or is Jesus a ontologically separate God from the Father? Even a Created God?

 I was sent an article from the website www.TrinityExamined.com by a gentleman names Darrell George (The article was Written by Darrel Goerge, not sent by him) written (I believe) in 2018. In this article He attempts to refute the idea that this verse points to the eternal preexistence of Jesus. I was challenged to respond, so I will make an attempt. 

To Darrell, this is not meant to be taken as a personal attack, but if you do watch this, hear me out, don't assume malice.
