I'm inclined to believe this as well which is why I don't believe He had a son (I know you don't believe Jesus to be the literal begotten son of the Father) or became human and died for these are all traits of His creation and it would be ungodly of Him to be like His creation.
Why? Why would it be uncreator-like to be like his creation? That's like saying it'd make no sense for a game developer to play his own game.
Greater implies they are not co-equal or do you see being "greater" as something different?
The same is true for your mind, your body, your soul. They are all individually you, but YOU are more ("greater") than those individual parts.
But I could do nothing if it wasn't for VC so who does my account lay his loyalty too?
VC simply facilitated your manifestation on these forums. If there wouldn't have been a material universe, there wouldn't have been a material Christ or a body of Jesus, just like it would've been meaningless to create a Vigilant account without the existence of a Vigilant forum. Can't swim when there's no water.
What standard(s) are we measuring nature/essence by? My account wouldn't say something I wouldn't provided no one else was using my account, right?
If accounts could chat with each other without input from outside (the 3D-world), the argument that an account "can do nothing without the owner" is an argument in favour of that account's superiority. The autonomic forum accounts are merely binary code with artificial intelligence while that one special account who can't do nothing without his owner from the 3D-world would be artificially intelligent binary code on the surface, but alot "greater" in essence, a vehicle of something that doesn't exist of binary codes or artificial intelligence, but flesh, blood and bones and actual
human intelligence (the intelligence that created artificial intelligence). Jesus saying he can do nothing without the Father (and only the Father) clearly distinguishes Him from those who
can do things without the Father in the same superior fashion. On the surface He's a man like any other, but in essence or nature from an entirely different world.
