    Jesus Christ -The man to whom God "put all things under his feet"

    "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:" Psalm 8:4-6 "For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him." 1 Corinthians 15:27 "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church," Ephesians 1:22


    Ths scriptures state that it is a "man" who God will put all things under his feet. This is applied to Jesus Christ in 1 Corinthians 15:27; Ephesians 1:22; Hebrews 2:6-8) The phrase "man"/ "son of man" occurrs to my knowledge in three places in the Psalms (Psalm 8:4; 80:17; 144:3) and seems to always refer to human beings (look at the context). Thus the Watchtowers claim that Jesus is not still a man is unscriptural.

    All things subject to an angel ?

    The Watchtower claims that Jesus is an angel to whom God put all things under. However, Hebrews 2:5 indicates that the world cannot be subject to angels (Hebrews 2:6-8 then goes on to quote Psalm 8 about all things being under man.) "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:" Psalm 8:4-6 "For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him." Hebrews 2:5-8

    Summary: The scriptures show that Jesus Christ is a man to whom God "put all things under his feet", and also that He is not an angel to whom things have been subjected.
