the New Testament paints a different value system. The Father has placed all things (his things) under the Son’s feet (Jn 3:35; Eph 1:20-22). The Son only does what the Father says (Jn 5:19). The Son allows many to disrespect him, but he says no one should disrespect the Spirit (Mt 12:31-32). The Spirit only glorifies the Son (Jn 16:14). While we might argue who is greater in the Trinity; the New Testament asserts that each part of the Trinity honors the other.
