Hi Rowdy, You said,“I can only say that the Greek word "greater" here didn't mean the same thing as you and I understand it. A better translation would be senior vs. junior denoting their functions in their relationship, similar to the same relationship by a man and woman in a marriage. In God's world, man gets the higher functional responsibilities compared to the woman because that's how He created this world. Why God is senior to Jesus, I have no idea and can't even speculate.” I have no problem per se, with your explanation and too was well illustrated. I agree that God is senior to Jesus as many Bible verses tell us. Here’s another and I quote it for you here. Does this verse not tell us that Jesus and Almighty God are not equal? 1 Cor 15:24-28, "Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. 25 For he must rule as king until [God] has put all enemies under his feet. 26 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. 27 For [God] ?subjected all things under his feet.? But when he says that all things have been subjected, it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone." Thank you for your last response, Rowdy. Miss JW |

I'm not exactly sure of your main point here. I've already acknowledged there are some things about the Godhead relationship we're not privy to. That is we're not going to know ALL the details until we reach Heaven. But the sum total of ALL scripture does make it pretty clear that God does have a slightly higher rank than His Son but I still think the 3 Beings of the Godhead are all equal in power and majesty. Was there something more to your post that I'm overlooking? Is there some question left unanswered or at least not discussed? As I mentioned there's several questions without answers at present. God bless. --Rowdy |
