It makes a lot of sense, right? Yet how many times do you get a friend request, only to go to that person’s page to find out that their account is locked, or there are no posts on it, or they don’t even provide a cover image and a profile pic. You really have to wonder what such people are thinking, or what they are really up to.

Contrary to the popular Roman Catholic trinity doctrine which erroneously claims that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are “co-equal”, the Bible actually teaches that Jesus was, and still remains, subservient to His Father. Furthermore, the Scriptures plainly teach us that God the Father is greater than all, and above all. This obviously means that the Father is also greater than Jesus, as Jesus Himself declared. Jesus NEVER claimed to be God. This is a modern misunderstanding of certain verses.

“Then cometh the end, when he [Jesus] shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he [Jesus] shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he [Jesus] must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he [God the Father] is excepted, which did put all things under him [under Jesus]. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, [unto Jesus] then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him [unto God the Father] that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” 1 Corinthians 15:24-28, KJV
