I've been thinking about this today, and wondering how I might word it so that it's not mistaken for a theological question (and chased out of the hallowed halls of BL301). In some sense, it will always be a matter of intense discussion, argument and debate. This is unavoidable.
This is Biblical Languages, right? Right! In that sense, there has always been one primary passage that gets thrown into these sort of think tanks. It's the one where Jesus says, "....the Father is greater than I." (NASB)
Having spent some time discussing this matter with various folks, from various religious backgrounds; it's not entirely new to me.
So, what exactly did Jesus mean when he said this about his/our heavenly Father?
Is there a pecking order in the heavenly realm?
What exactly does this mean: '....Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. ....' (ESV) ?
I look forward to a very enlightening and inspiring read.

Biblical Languages 301 Guidelines
This is where we come to delve into the biblical text. Theology is not our foremost thought, but we realize it is something that will be dealt with in nearly every conversation. Feel free to use the original languages to make your point (meaning Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic). This is an exegetical discussion area, so please limit topics to purely biblical ones.
This is not the section for debates between theists and atheists. While a theistic viewpoint is not required for discussion in this area, discussion does presuppose a respect for the integrity of the Biblical text (or the willingness to accept such a presupposition for discussion purposes) and a respect for the integrity of the faith of others and a lack of an agenda to undermine the faith of others.
