Subordination Within The Godhead The Historical Development of "Arian style" (Jehovah's Witness) Unitarian Subordination: "The Apologists were, in a sense, the Church's first theologians: the first to attempt a sketch of trinitarian doctrine and an intellectually satisfying explanation of Christ's relation to God the Father. They identified Christ with God, with the Logos, with the Son of God, but they seemed to count His Sonship not from eternity but from the moment of his pre-creational generation. In thus using a two-stage theory of a pre-existent Logos to explain the Son's divine status and His relation to the Father. They Probably did not realize that this theory had a built-in 'inferiorizing principle' that would win for them the accusation of 'subordinationism.' Origen, the greatest theologian of the East, rejected this two-stage theory and maintained the eternal generation of the Son. But to reconcile the eternity of the Son with a strict monotheism, he resorted to a Platonic ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-subordination-arian-development.htm

Subordination within the Godhead: Roles and Ranks Subordination within the Godhead Submission doesn't make a wife less human than her husband. Submission doesn't make Jesus less God than the Father. 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. This is called "Biblical subordination". Bible evidence seems to support the view that the Holy Spirit submits to both the Father and the Son, but it is not a strong case.

Paul makes Christ's eternal pre-existence more explicit than the Synoptists did. If at times he sees the Son as in some sense subordinate to the Father, yet he never makes Him a creature but always puts Him on the side of the creator.

Anti-Trinity Proof Texts Refuted: Galatians 4:14 The two expressions "angel of God" and "Christ Jesus Himself" prove that Jesus is an angel or is simply called an angel. What Galatians 4:14 is actually saying: A simple paraphrase: "The Galatians did not loathe or despise Paul because of his bodily condition and unimpressive physical appearance and speech but received Paul instead with honour as though he were an angel or even Jesus Christ Himself." Or "You did not despise me when we first met, but gave me full honor and respect as thought I were a rich man, a king, apostle Peter, an angel, Jesus Christ, the Father." Background: Paul, at the time he penned the Galatian letter, could never be one of the typical "Hollywood preened" TV evangelists of today. He was sickly, ugly and spoke poorly (likely some kind of speech impediment as a result of being stoned in Acts 14:19). Before his conversion, Paul was being trained by Gamaliel (Acts 5:33; 22:3) so was at that time the cream of the crop, being intelligent.

Fortman, Edmund: The Triune God ... The Apostolic Fathers were witnesses to the Biblical data and the traditional faith rather than theologians, but they furnished useful insights into the lines along which the Church's unconscious theology was developing. Most of them indicated quite clearly a belief in the divinity of Christ, less clearly a belief in the distinct personality and divinity of the Holy Spirit. They gave solid evidence of a belief in three pre-existent 'beings,' but they furnished no trinitarian doctrine, no awareness of a trinitarian problem.

Development from the trinity as taught in the Bible and the trinity ... ... We do not defend the developed Nicene concept of the trinity. The necessity to formulate the doctrine was thrust upon the Church by forces from without, and it was, in particular, its faith in the deity of Christ, and the necessity to defend it, that first compelled the Church to face the duty of formulating a full doctrine of the Trinity for its rule of faith." (New Bible Dictionary, J. D. Douglas & F. F. Bruce, Trinity, p 1298) In the immediate post New Testament period of the Apostolic Fathers no attempt was made to work out the God-Christ (Father-Son) relationship in ontological terms. By the end of the fourth century, and owing mainly to the challenge posed by various heresies, theologians went beyond the immediate testimony of the Bible and also beyond liturgical and creedal expressions of trinitarian faith to the ontological trinity of coequal persons "within" God.

Why Be Baptized? Why Be Baptized? Click to View Among our Lord's last words to his disciples was the charge to preach the saving gospel to all men.

We are not saved by our own goodness, but by the goodness, the love, and the favor of God. We are not saved by our own merit, but by the blood of Jesus Christ.
