LOL How else is there to grasp the verse that states Jesus placing himself under the authority of GOD is not a submission and an inferior position?
I suggest that you read Exodus 3, verses 1-15. Here you will see, that the Person Who called out to Moses from the Burning Bush, identifies Himseld as "And
the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of
the midst of a bush", (verse 2), here "The Angel" is distinct from "The LORD (YHWH)". In verse 4 we read of this Angel, "And when
the LORD (YHWH) saw that he turned aside to see,
God called to him out of the midst of the bush". In verse 6 we read of The Angel, "Moreover he said,
I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and
the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face: for he was afraid to
look upon God". Then we read in verse 7, "And
the LORD (YHWH) said...". In verse 11, "And Moses said
to God" (and verse 13). In verse 14, The Angel says to Moses, "
I AM THAT I AM: And he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel,
I AM hath sent me to you". And 15, "And
God said, moreover, to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel,
The LORD God of your fathers,
the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and
the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: this is
My Name (YHWH) for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations"
ALL of this is said of THE ANGEL OF THE LORD, Who is DISTINCT from THE LORD, and yet Himself, GOD, LORD, I AM!
