my question: folks show John 14:28 to say Jesus was less than the Father.see Philippians 2
now ill answer you according to my understanding of the Reverend Dake Systematic Theology.
Jesus became a Son when he became flesh.He was not a Son in eternity.but He was a separate God equal with the Father and Holy Spirit.
so is this verse expressing Jesus Christ in His HUMANITY or His Eternal...DEITY??? is He as God equal to the other members in the Godhead???or is He less???

And dont forget what Jesus who repects the Father and is in obedience to the Father, He said He came to do His FATHERS WILL! "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me." (John 6:38).
Jesus also said, " MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I," Right Here;
"Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I." (John 14:28).
The Father is God, Jesus is also God and so is the Holy Spirit God!
Jesus also said, if you have seen me, you have seen the Father! "Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" (John 14:9),
In a nutshell! When you look at a photograph of me at say age 25, you will say, "Theres Haz, yep, thats for sure! then look at a photograph of my biological father at age 25, you would say, "Thats Haz, yes, thats him!
