    According to Philippians 2:5-11, Jesus was God but choose not to retain that position. He set it aside for a time and took on the role of a servant in the form of a man. That is why during his earthly ministry he made no direct claims to deity, but did state that in the past he was God (and appeared to Abraham as such) and would be seen on the throne of heaven as God in the future.

    Like God, humans are also a three--fold being, having a body, soul and spirit. You can see their creation in Genesis 2:7 where God makes man in his image. While each is just as much "you" as the other, there are times when one acts as a "servant" to another. Your mind may come up with a brilliant idea of something to do, but if the body does not act as a "servant" and do what the mind wants, the though itself is powerless. The body may be hungry but if the mind does not remember where to find the food, the body would starve. For a three-fold being to work, the different parts sometimes have to act as servants to each other.

    The same passage that says Jesus became a servant and was obedient to God the Father also says that God then "served" Jesus by raising in from the dead and setting him back on the throne of heaven. And that it is to Jesus every knee must bow and confess him Lord, not the Father.

    Yes. The Father is also a servant of God as is the Holy Spirit.

    Jesus is not a servant of God. Jesus is God.

    John 13:13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.”

    Satan, you fool: you’ve been misquoting sacred scripture since the garden... won’t you ever learn? Nobody but people who love your lies listens to you... and God doesn’t want them anyway. All liars are cast out of His presence.

    How many more souls do you need anyway? Isn’t hell full by now? You know your time is almost up. May the Lord rebuke you. You know you’re just a tool in His hand, don’t you? You drive people into His loving arms... that’s what all your torture did for me (so for that I thank you. Lol).

    When the Son of God left the Godhead in Heaven to become Mary's child, He lowered Himself to the status below that of angels, and to serve others - not to be served. That's in Philippians 2:5-11 & Matthew 20:28 & Hebrews 2:9.

    However, now that Jesus has fulfilled His mission on Earth, He shares the one and same throne of the Father in Heaven, which throne is surrounded by the seven-fold Spirit. Revelation gives us this awesome picture of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit all receiving the worship of those in Heaven. Read chapter 5, for instance.

    It should be pointed out that 1 Corinthians 15:28 speaks of the eventual restoration of all things subdued under Christ, then the Son "also himself [shall] be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." However, to be subject to God is not necessarily to serve God unless God requires that service. In that verse, the subjection of the glorious Son is in order that "God may be all in all". Think now of Revelation chapter 5 and how the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit will be revealed in the one Godhead, all creatures in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth worshipping (Rev. 5:13).

    So, while on Earth, the man Jesus served God perfectly. But now He has been raised and is in the center of the throne of God in Heaven, that role is completed and now it is our privilege to serve the risen Christ and, by so doing, serve God.

    Yes

    Jhn 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

    1Co 15:28 And when all things here 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<<<.
