so you agree the righteous son of the father obeys the father ? or not? your post appears non sequitor ..
MY POINT has been all along, a Genuine born again Christian will ALWAYS strive to OBEY. Like Dr. John MacArthur put is: A genuine Christian is not sinless, but he or she will sin less, and less, and less, as they mature spiritually.
As for the part of the TRIUNE DEITY that has the TITLE: "SON of GOD", His major function has ALWAYS been to do the Will of the Father. AND THAT TITLE does not designate that HE is the offspring of GOD, but rather that HE is the only one the Father has given the right to inherit all that HE has, including HIS DEITY. That is an ongoing custom in ISRAEL even today, the father can give the inheritance birthright TITLE to anyone he so chooses to give the birthright "SON of" TITLE to.
Philippians 2:6-10 (KJV)
[SUP]
6 [/SUP] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
[SUP]
7 [/SUP] But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
[SUP]
8 [/SUP] And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
[SUP]
9 [/SUP] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and
given Him a name which is above every name:
[SUP]
10 [/SUP] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and
things in earth, and
things under the earth;

Now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with that glory I had with You before the world existed.
