My Father is greater than I. (John 14 : 28.)
Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven,
but my Father only. (Mat. 24 : 36.)
Christ Judged Men.
The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the
Son.... As I hear I judge. (John 5 : 22, 30.)

The Law was Superceded by the Christian Dispensation.
The law and the prophets were until John; since that time the kingdom
of God is preached. (Luke 16 : 16.)
Having abolished in the flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments
contained in ordinances. (Eph. 2 : 15.)
But now we are delivered from the law. (Rom. 7 : 6.)
The Law was Not Superceded by the Christian Dispensation.
I come not to destroy but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass
from the law till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 5 : 17, 18, 19.)

And thou, child, shall be called the Prophet of the Highest.... To
guide our feet into the way of peace. (Luke 1 : 76, 79.)
And his name shall be called ... The Prince of Peace. (Is. 9 : 6.)

peace, but a sword. (Mat. 10 : 34.)
I am come to send fire on the earth. (Luke 12 : 49.)

And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from
the beginning. (John 15 : 27.)

I am one that bear witness of myself.... Though I bear record of
myself, yet my record is true. (John 8 : 18, 14.)
