So nothing like getting to an interview 10 minute early just to wait nearly an hour a total of 55 minutes for the interview.  Needless to say suppose to hear something by yesterday but crickets.  Proving prayer is useless.

While the Apostle John elaborates more on this verse in First John:
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding that we may know Him that is True, and that we are in Him that is Trueeven in His Son Jesus Christ, This is the True God, and eternal life I John 5:20

When Jesus refers to the Father as Greater then Himself, John 14:28, it is easily explained in this statement: But we see Jesus Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.  Hebrew 2:9  By reading Hebrews 2:5-18 we see that Jesus was our High Priest Who was Fully God and Fully Man becoming Mediator, Galatians 3:20; I Timothy 2:5-6 between the Holy Father and sinful man which is what Job cried out for, Job9:32-33.

I would love to quote I John 5:7 here knowing it is authentic but at the same time half of the church question it’s authentically so shall we look at Words (Logos) statement in Isaiah:  16). Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret, from the beginning; from the time that it was, there Am I: and now the Lord GOD, and His Spirit, hath send Me.
17).  Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, and the Holy One of Israel; I Am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Isaiah 48:16-17
While this demonstrates the Trinity/Godhead I somewhat agree with you that Jesus calls the Father His God but at the same disagree.  I disagree because it seems you are making the Son much lower than the Father.  Jesus for humanity sake has submitted to Father but other than this He is equal to the Father, Philippians 2:6.  He did this so that He could become the new beginning of the creation of God, Revelations 3:14b; Colossians 1:15-18 or the Firstborn from the dead, I Corinthians 15:20;23 that we may be fashioned after Him.  Paul claims this in Philippians 3:20-21.  By becoming our High Priest, Christ Jesus became poor for us so we might be rich in Him, II Corinthians 8:9.
We also know that Jesus never sin, II Corinthians 5:21 but because of all mankind’s sin He took on Himself our sins being High Priest for at His First Coming He bear thee sins but our salvation at His Second Coming, Hebrews 9:28

Hello to all just joined the Forum trying to rebuild my faith; but it so weak til last night it has been a while since I have been to church.  The Pastor there was kind enough to pray for me asking God to answer this need for me today but just so weak in faith having problems believing for anything good.  Really having a great problem understanding Romans 8:32!
