Biblical Subordination expressed by early Fathers and apologists ... Subordination Within The Godhead Biblical Subordination expressed by early Fathers and apologists: Most ancient Christians wrote about the fact that Christ was equal as a being, but subordinate in rank.

The material matrix remains entire and unimpaired, though you derive from it any number of shoots possessed of its qualities; so, too, that which has come forth out of God is at once God and the Son of God, and the two are one.

Scriptures were more important than tradition to Apostolic Fathers ... Also included under the banner of tradition could be mentioned, with varying degrees of importance and universality: the decisions of later councils, canon law, and finally the iconographic tradition of the Church. In fact, one of the most exciting things about tradition is that it never stops or remains static. Tradition is the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit in the Church. We do not simply observe tradition, we enter into it, are swept up by it, and in the process become a part of its ebb and flow. (Scripture and Tradition, Raymond L. Zell, Orthodox churchman, 1995, p 18) For early Christians, there was no false dichotomy such as we see today between the Bible and Holy Tradition. (Scripture and Tradition, Raymond L. Zell, Orthodox churchman, 1995, p 19) It was never an "either/or" option.
