What makes it more interesting and complex is that when we are considering the relationship between the Father and the Son, if we look at the life of Jesus, we have the point of view of His humanity to consider. He was still the Son of God, but now as the Son of Man, He had a proper relationship with God and the Father, but is there a distinction, a difference in the way He related to God as a Man vs. as the Son of God?

An obvious and extreme example would be that Jesus as the Son of Man had to be baptized. Would the Son of God before incarnation have to be baptized? Obviously not. What about prayer? Jesus prayed to the Father, how about the Son of God? Or about worship? Would the Son of God in His deity pray to or worship God, probably not.

So, harder to understand then and discern are the matters of obedience, for example: is Jesu´s obedience to God a matter of Him relating to God in His humanity or did the Son of God in His deity also have a role of "obedience" to the Father? So also the matter of when Jesus said, "The Father is greather than I"? Was that just a matter of Jesus as Man relating to the Father? Or does the Son of God in His deity also relate to the Father in the same way, saying He is greater? Similarly other matters....
