The Father is Greater than I

The Father is Greater than I

John 14:28

Excerpt
‎Thus the Arians, the Gnostics, and their modern successors have used the statement “the Father is greater than I” to make a separation in the Godhead and minimize Jesus in relation to the ultimate God. As I indicated in the discussion of the Prologue, Jesus was from the beginning directly associated with God (1:1) and certainly not merely “a god,” as the Jehovah Witnesses have argued. Moreover, he was active in the creation of all things (1:3).
