'the father is greater than I'
Jesus is not saying the Father is an ontologically superior being.. He is talking about His ascension to heaven to the disciples. Telling them that He is going to be in His rightful place with the Father. Jesus is saying the Father is in a greater position and Jesus will be in that position shortly.
(Luke 11:20) (Jesus speaking) But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
This is about as high a claim to complete divinity as you get.
John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Jesus is going unto the Father.. going to His rightful place.. encouraging the disciples
Anyway, enough from me
