Maybe. There are a lot of texts equating Christ with the Father. Secret John for instance. However, the relationship between Father and Son is never clearly defined when it comes to the fleshly Jesus.

Another:
The priest is completely holy, down to his very body. For if he has taken the bread, he will consecrate it. Or the cup or anything else that he gets, he will consecrate. Then how will he not consecrate the body also?
Is Philip accepting priesthood, or is he saying that though the outside seems clean, the inside could still be dirty (since he misses soul and spirit).

Philip is a Jewish Christian text- Although there are some pretty radical(to Hebrews) teachings in there, it still reflects the Jewish culture.

Thanks SG. But I don't see as much of that culture in the rest of his scriptures. Just saying.

Philip the apostle said, "Joseph the carpenter planted a garden because he needed wood for his trade. It was he who made the cross from the trees which he planted. His own offspring hung on that which he planted. His offspring was Jesus, and the planting was the cross." But the Tree of Life is in the middle of the Garden. However, it is from the olive tree that we got the chrism, and from the chrism, the resurrection. -Philip
Interesting that Philip see's Jesus as the offspring (son?) of Joseph.

Spiritually, the Father and Son are one; Philip goes into great lengths in other verses emphasizing inheretance.
