Again, Jesus is a copy/clone that is a distinct entity from God.
In the beginning - of what? Our reality, or God's reality (the base reality)?
Gen 1:2 speaks of God's spirit. You have a spirit too - does that mean you are two separate entities - you and your spirit?
If you uploaded a copy of yourself into another entity that contained all of you, while you simultaneously existed, you could say and claim the very same things Jesus is claiming in those passages. It is the authority from which he speaks because he is God, and yet he is separate.
Asking if Jesus was there at the beginning of creation is the same as asking if God was there because they are the same, yet separate entities.
