Remember the Son saying that the Father is greater than him? (Jn 14:28)


Yes I do remember. This is the question that is being answered in the article. To say that the Father is greater than the Son does not mean that the only begotten Son does not possess the full nature of the Father. It does not refute what is written, that the Word become flesh and that the Son is God.

**To say that the Father is greater than the Son does not mean that the only begotten Son does not possess the full nature of the Father.**

The Son DOES possess the full nature of the Father.........that’s why Paul said in Col. 2:9, “For IN him DWELLETH ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily”.

Which is not unlike:

“Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that DWELLETH IN ME, he doeth the works.” John 14:10

**..that the Son is God.**

He isn’t if you take the omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent Father out of him. Of course, that’s not going to happen.
