Jesus Christ himself said, “The Father is greater than I am” and referred to the Father as his God, “the only true God.” (Joh 14:28; 17:3; 20:17; Mark 15:34; Revelation 1:1; 3:12) On numerous occasions Jesus expressed his inferiority and subordination to his Father. (Matt 4:9, 10; 20:23; Luke 22:41, 42; John 5:19; 8:42; 13:16) Even after Jesus’ ascension into heaven his apostles continued to present the same picture.—1Co 11:3; 15:20, 24-28; 1Peter 1:3; 1John 2:1; 4:9, 10.
