Given the Father has superior knowledge, authority and power to the Son and their relationship is described by both is father and son, I should think “inferior” is a suitable and accurate term.

Yes I agree...it's just that the word "inferior" conjures up such a negative image..at least for me!

I understand. I tend to think of an army officer and his superior. Inferior is simp;y of rank.
