So how is it that the same god fades into the background while his son takes center stage?Jesus exists as an intercessor and remains an intercessor. He does not claim supremacy to God (the center stage).
Quote:To be generous, we can overlook the tautology that this creates with John 16:4, turning the phrase into "no man cometh unto me except by me.""No man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6, KJV
Jesus, as an intercessor, is the closest link mankind has to God. Man cannot directly get to God without Christ, the only way.
