When did Jesus first exist?

Biblical References...
John 8:57-58... "So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”  Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.” 
John 17:5... "And now You, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed."
Matthew 28:18... "And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me."
Hebrews 13:8... "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever."


Discussion thoughts... John 17:5 listed above says it all... Jesus was with God the Father before the world existed.  In John 8:57-58 when the Jews asked him how he could have seen Abraham, Jesus replied that he existed before Abraham was born.

My Beliefs... The scriptures above are quite adequate to convince me that Jesus has existed forever, just like God.

How does all this fit in the "trinity"... an age old picture used in many sources shows the trinity in a drawing form as shown on the right... 3 distinct beings... God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit... the Father is not the son or the Holy Spirit, etc.
