That would imply that while the Father walked on the earth he was separate from the Father.
I am here to share what I've learned because it's on a different level, not better but definitely different.

Think of it in the context of being a representative which speaks and acts on behalf of another. Your scripture states directly that he is below the Father which indicates individuality.
Jesus was only below the father while he was walking around physically on this earth in the flesh.
He currently sits at the right hand of God until he puts all of God's enemies under his feet. Once that mission is completed, God and Jesus will be sharing the throne (Revelation, chapters 19 - 21).
Revelation 21:23
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

People are blind spiritually to the word of God.
Forgive me for saying so, but a few of us here believe that you're spiritually blind if you don't believe in Jesus' second coming that will ultimately result in the current heavens and earth passing away and a new heaven/earth with no more human bodies or death replacing it. You do remember that part where Jesus places all of God's enemies under his feet so they aren't allowed to bother anyone any more? Ever?
Christ is ALL 7 Heavens
I'm sorry to bring you the hard truth but you can write these words down and you will take it to your graves.

What makes you believe that?

What exactly is your definition of "7 Heavens"? How are they broken out? By spiritual gifts? By the original 7 churches? You're going to have to add a lot more detail if you're going to make any sense at all.

So, basically, you don't believe in Heaven and you believe this world is going to continue to exist with evil forever.

Jesus was the Word made flesh, yet there are three aspects of God.
1 John 5:7
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
That's why Jesus said seek the kingdom of God, seek it now because it is to be found within you.

That's not what the Bible means by seeking the kingdom. Here's what the Bible says about what you're doing though...
Deuteronomy 18:10
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Jeremiah 14:14
Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Ezekiel 12:24
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 13:6
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: and the Lord hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.

You stated that the only way to receive the Holy Spirti was by laying on of hands. There was 120 in the upper room who was baptized with the H.S. Peter proclaimed that
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This statement of only receiveing the Holy Spirit by laying on of hands is false.
Laying on of hands is symbolic for work done by the Body of Christ. The head of that body being Christ and Apsotle, the 7th Heaven. The Brother & Sister which are the 1st Heaven is part of the Body and are just one of "the hands" that work in Testifying people with the teachings passed down from that Apsotle gift, that 7th Heaven, down the ladder in Jacbos vision, to Earth, which are the minds of men that have not recieved the understanding of this glorious gospel. As we say when we are "busy with something" we say we have our "hands in such and such."
The preparation is done by all the Heavens, then approved by the sealing of the Apostle that seals that gift of the Holy Ghost within you as I have been. There is the natural baptism and the spiritual baptism which is the cleanings of a man's mind by the word of God. So there can be space for the Holy Spirit to rest, just as it is recorded in Genesis where the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters because it had no place to rest until all "the work" was done, until a space could be made a person's life to recieve it. Then once recieved, as I am doing now, spreading the understanding of this gospel to in-turn spiritually baptize people. Soaking and cleaning the mind with the word. This is what Eph 5v26 is saying "the washing of water by the word" and Psalms 119v9 "Cleanse your ways by taking heed according to thy word." All that I am now revealing, was taught to me by all the wonderful "hands" that have worked with me.edit on 27-8-2013 by TheBrother because: (no reason given)edit on 27-8-2013 by TheBrother because: (no reason given)

Careful, when we begin to label another it is a sign of fear.
