Christ, the Man, is subject to the supernatural God Who dwells within Him

1 CORINTHIANS 15:24
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.”
I CORINTHIANS 15:28
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
The Son will be subject to the Father. Thus, the Trinity is wrong because Father and Son are not co-equal.
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are the real puzzle about God.
We must put a focus on the fact that God is supernatural.
The Bible never says that there is "one God in three Persons". That is Greek philosophy which Paul says we must avoid.
You are everything that is in you.
Jesus is God because the supernatural Spirit of God dwells within Him.
But the humanity of Jesus must be totally obedient to the will of the indwelling supernatural Spirit of God.
COLOSSIANS 2:8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Three manifestations of God, not three Persons
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost mean the 3 manifestations of God, above, with, and in man.
As the Father, the supernatural God was above the Jews. But in the Old Testament, the supernatural God is never called “God the Father”.
As the Son, all of the supernatural God dwelled with us inside the Man Jesus, to develop His humanity. In the Bible, Jesus is never called “God the Son” because God is not a man.
As the Holy Ghost, a portion of God’s humanity is wrapped around the portion of God’s supernatural Spirit that dwells within each Spirit-filled believer. Only this portion of God’s humanity can completely obey the supernatural Spirit of God. But this human portion is not the supernatural God. Thus, the Bible never says “God the Holy Ghost”.
However, in the Old Testament, because God allowed humans their free will, God was never in complete control of humanity as God did not desire a relationship whereby mankind was forced to obey God because they had to. Humans foolishly chose to rebel against God.
Thus, in the Old Testament, the supernatural God was
never called “God the Father” which would indicate complete control over humanity.
God wanted to build for eternity and that requires perfection.
Any flaws or defects would simply get magnified as endless time rolled by. Time is the cause whereby people and things get older and wear out. This ultimately leads to death. Thus, a human, with our flawed human spirit, could never be part of eternity. We would eventually wreck the system. Flawed humans multiplied through sex but as their numbers grew, things got worse.
To solve the problem, God had to start with a perfect human spirit.
In the womb of Mary, God created a perfect foetus that was born as Jesus Christ.
The Man Jesus is not God.
God is not a man. God is a supernatural Spirit.
JOHN 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
The power of the Spirit is amazing but even more important is our understanding of truth.
NUMBERS 23:19 "God is not a man"
As Jesus grew from Child to Adult, so this perfect human spirit grew to maturity.
Jesus the Man set the perfect example of fulfilling Scripture and obeying God’s Will, whatever the cost.
There are four beasts (spiritual powers) around God’s throne. Eyes speak of intelligence.
“Before” means they know the future. “Behind” means they know the past.
REVELATION 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf [a young ox], and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
These represent the four Gospels.
Matthew shows Christ as the Lion, the King of the beasts. Mark shows Christ as the young Ox, the Servant Who carried our sins far away, and was our perfect Sacrifice. Luke shows Christ as the ideal Man who atoned for the sin of the woman (the church) because He loved her. John shows Christ as God, the all-seeing Eagle.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke show Christ as a Man ready to lose His life rather than disobey the supernatural Spirit of the Father. As King and Servant Jesus covers the entire range of human positions. Eve sinned as a woman. Christ is the Man to atone for sin.
There is no mention of “God the Father” in the Old Testament or in the first three Gospels.
MATTHEW 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
As the King Who is used to giving orders, Jesus was nevertheless determined to fully obey the supernatural God within Him.
MARK 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
As the Servant Who carried our sins far away, Jesus was determined to fully obey the supernatural God within Him.
LUKE 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
As the ideal Man and our perfect Example, Jesus was determined to fully obey the supernatural God within Him.
This is the only way humans can live forever. We must be fully obedient to the supernatural God.
The Man Jesus had to prove Himself totally faithful and obedient to the supernatural Father in the first three Gospels. Then only, could God be referred to as “God the Father” for the first time in the New Testament in John Chapter 6.
God the Father had complete control over the Man Christ.
John makes no reference to Jesus asking to remove the cup of suffering. Jesus, as God, represented by the far-seeing eagle, does not question what has to be done. Her never seeks His own human will. The supernatural will of God is all that is important.
JOHN 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
Our human will is biased towards our temporary benefits. God’s supernatural will is based on benefits that will last forever. The fulfillment of Scripture for our day is the true meat.
Thus, a perfect human spirit was matured in Jesus. This is the only human spirit that God trusts. Only the perfect human spirit of Jesus is the true “Son of God” because He alone, as a Man, is perfectly obedient to the will of the supernatural Spirit of “God the Father”.
The Holy Spirit in Jesus is partly human and partly supernatural.
A portion of that Holy Spirit is given to each believer when they are born again of the Holy Spirit.
The human part of the Holy Spirit that comes into you will enable you to become the person that God intends you to be. Then your old human spirit must die. Your new human nature is part of Christ’s perfect human nature. When that fully controls you, as you die to self, then God will one day change your body into a perfect immortal body that never sins and is perfectly obedient, of your own free will, to the guidance of the portion of the supernatural Spirit of God that is in you. Then God will have perfect control over you and catch you up to Heaven as part of the wise virgins, the Bride.
But there is still the foolish virgins who will be killed in great Tribulation. They will be resurrected on Judgement Day. Because they were saved before the 3.5 years of great Tribulation started, they will be spared on Judgement Day and given a perfect body to dwell in.
When Judgement Day is over, all the saved people will be in perfect resurrected bodies. All the unsaved will be in the Lake of Fire. There will be no more need for a human Saviour. The supernatural “God the Father” will be in complete control of Eternity. All the saved humans will be perfect and will be fully submissive to the supernatural “God the Father.”
Only the supernatural God can control eternity.
