Biblical Subordination of God the Son, to God the Father Subordination Within The Godhead Subordination of Christ proven from the Bible Biblical subordination Jesus Christ is the creator, not a creature and will always be equal to the Father in this sense. Jn 1:1 says, "and the word was [uncreated] God". However, sometime around the incarnation, Jesus made a choice to submit to the Father as His head. We call this choice, the subordination (or down-ranking) of Christ to the Father. Jesus did not give up being God, He merely began to obey the Father as though He were a creature.

Who Do You Think Jesus Is? But Jesus was most interested in what His followers thought so He next asked, "But who do you say that I am?" So we begin this lesson by asking you the reader,"Who do you think Jesus is"? Jesus (God the son) has existed from eternity with God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. John 1:1,14 says, "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus) and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God...and the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory." Jesus made reference to his pre-earth ... me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father" (Mt 7:21). Jesus is saying that in order to be saved, it takes more than calling oneself a "Christian". Jesus demands obedience! Anyone can merely claim to be a Christian.

Bowman, Robert M.: Why You Should Believe In The Trinity That Bowman is contrasting the undeveloped trinitarian beliefs of the apostles, (who believed in the deity of Christ but had not yet come to grips with the impact on the oneness of God issue) with the developed creedal explanations in Nicea 300 years later. Our comment Just because the Bible fails to "fully develop" trinity doctrine to the same extent as the Nicene fathers, doesn't mean that Jesus isn't God! The mistake of may people today is to go beyond the Bible in their trinity doctrine. We should reject the Nicene creed, not because it is in error, but because it speaks on matters where the Bible is silent and doesn't leave the "secret things to God". In other words, we should be content preaching a mono-theism where Jesus is divine and the Holy Spirit is a person, without trying to figure out the mechanics of such an arrangement as the Nicene Creed does.
