Bible Note: I do hope, dear friend, you're NOT suggesting that Jesus is inferior to God. Tell me it's not so. God the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit most certainly do form the Perfect Godhead, in complete harmony with one another, and yet distinct with their very own distinctive role/function in God's Universe. God created the whole universe with the assistance of the other two as He created you and me in THEIR image. His Son, Jesus came to this world for the express purpose of being the Perfect Sacrifice and saving us from our sins IF we'll accept that gift. And now the Holy Spirit completed God's plan and brought about the establishment of the church on that fateful day of Pentacost. And in this modern age, the Holy Spirit lives on in us and in God's Word, reminding us of that image of God we have within us, tugging at our conscience when we do wrong. A person could compare this order of God's world to that here on earth. Women are NOT inferior to us men. Men and women each have their distinctive role/function in the Lord's church. That's just the design with which God created this world. It's a functional thing. It's not a question of superior or inferior. I hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
