these things are not explicitly stated in the text of leviticus and are probably extra Biblical, I will need to research the text to find out.

Speaking of wimpy and weak, are you one of these who worships the Bible AS God, instead of the "Word of God"? Why be so arrogant to assume that the entire wisdom of God is bound up in the Bible? God doesn't tell us everything; he knows we're intelligent, he leaves us things to figure out on our own, if our hearts lean to him.

oh dear, have you never read,

Trust in Jehovah with all your heart,
And do not rely on your own understanding. - Proverbs 3:5

As for me I worship the father, exclusively.

It means that as a mere man that Jesus can do no more than any other man, but as the one sent by God He can do all things. The apostle Paul meant basically the same thing when he said,

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

(Philippians 4:13 KJV)

HalleluYaHshua ! Praise the LORD !

It could perhaps be argued that as Jesus was subject to the limitations of being a man, he had to subject himself before the Father in order to sacrifice himself for the sins of mankind.

'Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Phil.2)

Good thinking.

See how well the Ghost is reasoning "with God" as part of the process?

Jesus' every word and deed was done as an act of obedience to His Father. That's what it means.

The Son, as a member of the Godhead, set aside the glory He shared with God to become as one of us, and that's how He lived, as an ordinary man. The difference is is that Jesus was without sin and obeyed God to the death.

Right! And one day you will bow the knee and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Am I not right robbie?
