Hi,
Many get confused that Christ seemed to speak and act as if he was God. He did these things but not for that reason. He is a vessel for God and the fulness of deity dwells in him. He was given all authority.The centurion explained the order of authority in Lk 7
“8For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.”
Paul also showed aspects of that godly order in 1Cor 11
“3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”
To obey God we must obey Christ.
But that does not make our Lord and master, our God.February 13, 2010 at 5:44 pm#177637NickHassanParticipantHi,
Almighty God can do what He will and He chose His monogenes son to be Lord and King.

Yes there are levels of authority.
But most are still obeying their own ideasApril 13, 2012 at 2:45 am#291991NickHassanParticipantHi,
