It has been the most difficulty theology to understand for me as a Christian is that the relationship between the Father, son and Holy Spirit. Indeed, thewords 'father' and 'son' is already difficult to understand as a human being.
You said it yrself 'As we are dealing with authority, you know the Bible says that those in authority must come under authority except God the Father (1 Cor 15:27,28)' Does this mean that the Father is in a higher order of power? My own views are also that indeed there is an order in the plan of redemption as you have said. However, this order is not from the perspective that the Son HAD to submit because of an order, but rather He took it on himself to execute the plan as a proactive approach to their plan. Each had their roles. Indeed when he said God gave authority, raised Him up,etc is in the plan of redemption. It is also a plan in full agreement or unity of the 3. However in the area of the divinity of the 3, there is no separation of levels of 'power' as we know it. Jesus also claimed to be 'I am' or YHWH. This is the Almighty who was, is and is to come and forever He will be. But certainly when it comes to the execution of a plan, they had to take their roles. <can I know your views re those senior pastors of independent churches who do not come under authority unless there is a Church Board which is in place to provide that authority for the senior pastors. Care to comment? > This is why there has to be accountability. There is always the danger of the senior pastors being overbearing and in unholy control which can lead to pride and downfall which I have seen aplenty happen. More so with the divine health and wealth theologies. Very sad indeed. I have also seen pastors who would seemingly want fellowship with other pastors but refused council when it was warranted. Is this pride? Especially when a council of other pastors have advocated certain actions to be taken by him. This shows that the lack of accountabilty makes it easy for him to refuse.
