The Father is greater than I
The Father is greater than all
Now when it says that everything has been put under him(Jesus) it is clear that this does not include God Himself who put everything under Christ. When he has done this, then the Son himself will become subject to him who put everything under him so that God may be all in all.

Brother,
I am sickened by these replies which are so full of self righteousness and so called correct belief. I believe as do you that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He is God just as the Spirit is God. I believe that the Father is above all, greater than all. I have seen this often, when some stand on scripture rather than in the Spirit and use the written word to condemn those who Jesus shed His blood for. And if they just could stop and seek the heart of God, seek the conviction of the Spirit, they would repent of this work they seem to believe so ardently is of God.
Just a few weeks ago, I was roundly attacked, by several, for taking up for a whole group of believers who were being condemned unjustly. I tried to answer, but nothing was accomplished other than to cause more hurt and confusion. It seems that some christians have developed a shell around their hearts which does not allow compassion to enter or leave. Words spoken or written in the spirit of being correct will never heal, will never save, will never bring unity in Christ. They only bring hurt, division, sin.
And so, I am leaving this discussion, just as my brother David recommended not so long ago.
I am sorry that it has come to this,
In His most worthy love,
vic
