Isn't God greater than Jesus Christ and how should it matter to us?

Even Christ prayed to God. It matters because God and Jesus said it did. Jesus even told us to pray to the Father and gave the Lords Prayer as an example as to how to pray.

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one in the same. At that time, the Father was greater than the Son because the Son was here on Earth having taken the form of a MAN which will always be lesser than God the Father. But with his ascent to heaven, we can be reassured that they are all one in the same.

Each of the three persons in the Trinity are God and of the same greatness. Jesus(God the Son) said" the Father is greater than I " when He humbled Himself and submitted Himself to the Father and became a man so that He could shed His blood for our sins. In order to be our Savior, He had to do this.

Yes, God is greater than Jesus. It is actually all through the bible. Jesus NEVER claimed to be his Father or God. He said repeatedly how he did his fathers will. It is a common misconception. Because people misinterpret a few verses.
To Christn: The bible also says, 1 Corinthians 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

According to the bible Jesus is the most powerful angel (Revelation 10) and is a god (Isaiah 9:6) his father is almighty has many sons in heaven (Job 1:6, 2:1) and all of them are gods (Psalms 82:1-6)
The almighty gave all the authority except his own position or authority (1 Corithians 15:28-30)

John 3:33-36 Says that God loved his Son and put all things into his hand. It also that God gave to the Spirit without limits. He has full measure of God. God says that you have to accept Jesus or the wrath of God is still remains on you.

do not ignore also to study Php_2:6 "- who, being contained in the shape of God, did not evaluate it robbery to be equivalent with God,." so the Bible states that the Son is an same because the daddy, unquestionably it truly is no longer a contradiction. Jesus has 2 natures, God nature and mankind nature, so he's an same as God in accordance to the scripture "- And the note became flesh and dwelt between us, and we beheld His glory, the respect as of the purely begotten of the daddy, finished of grace and reality." Joh_1:24. about His human nature, the Scripture says "- For [there is] one God and one Mediator between God and adult men, [the] guy Christ Jesus,." 1Ti_2:5. when we placed both one in each of them mutually, we are able to work out that there's no contradiction. consequently, Jesus did not propose that the daddy is larger than Him in nature, yet in His modern state at the same time as He spoke those words, the state of modesty and suffering the soreness for the Salvation of the sinners. therefore, St. John says " And the note became flesh " Joh_1:14 , also St. Paul says: "- yet made Himself of no attractiveness, taking the shape of a bondservant, [and] coming contained in the likeness of adult men." (Php_2:7). different interpreters say that the daddy has despatched the Son to furnish the people the equipment of Salvation, so His pastime became better, even though it became momentary (Php_2:9-11). The Equality in Trinity? The Trinity unquestionably is an elementary idea. God is modern by technique of Himself (Father), speaking by technique of His note (Son) and residing by technique of his Spirit (Holy Spirit). those names “Father and Son” we were given them to make it a lot less annoying to comprehend, compared to a father who married and were given a son, yet like religious God Son, similar as u say father of technological know-how, mom nature, similar ingredient precisely :) it truly is like u: body/flesh, mind and Spirit. God who created u in His photograph is an same. 3 Jobs with an same entity, each became given a attractiveness to modern Him. it truly is like equilateral triangle ABC, each is 60, that are equivalent interior an same triangle, yet A isn't B isn't C, that's God, A is God, B is God, C is God. possibly it truly is demanding to comprehend yet that's the way it rather works, One God with 3 significant jobs, each became given a attractiveness to precise that pastime :) And leave the mozlems on my own worshipping the moon god contained in the shape of the residing God and denying the Divinity of Jesus

He is. The Father is greater than the Son.
Jesus is not God.

If God and Jesus are one in the same, then his death on the cross wasn't a sacrifice as he would have known that he wouldn't die.
