Scott,
The only “covering” that a woman, or a man needs, is the covering of God. No mere human being can be our covering.

As far as God the Son there is no superior “role” of one over the other. Who had the “role” of Creator? Who had the “role” of Savior? There is not just one Person of the Trinity who fit the one “role”.

As far as the Father being “greater” than the Son, this must be kept in its context or we find ourselves in the camp with the JW’s and other cults. Jesus said this while He was in His position of humility on earth after He had limited Himself, and humbled Himself to come to earth. Nowhere does Jesus the exalted man after His resurrection ever say that the Father is “greater” than He is. You said that you “think” that the Father will be “greater” than the Son in eternity. Can you quote such a verse that says this?

The Bible does not say that Jesus hands over the “lead position” to the Father. It says He hands over the “kingdom”. But this in no way means that the kingdom no longer belongs to Jesus for the bible says that of His kingdom there will be no end. See Luke 1:33 and Isaiah 9:7.

Yes the Father gave authority to Jesus while he was in His humbled position on earth, BECAUSE he had gave everything up to live as a man. Note that ALL authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Jesus. No SOME authority.

So where does the Bible say that the Father had no authority while He gave Jesus ALL authority? And where does the Bible say that Jesus will have no authority in the end or where does it say that Jesus gives His authority back to the Father?

I think you will better understand the faulty position that makes Jesus in some way less than the Father and having less authority than the Father, by watching my DVD “The Trinity Eternity Past to Eternity Future, Explaining Truth Exposing Error” Parts 2 and 3 involve the future of the Son and where His limitations regarding His humanity compare to His position in the Trinity. The DVD set can be purchased on Amazon.com here

Once you have viewed the teaching which is several hours long, I would be happy to answer any questions that you have on the matter of Jesus in the Trinity and any further questions on the “limited” position of Jesus that you seem to espouse.

I hope this helps!
