There has been so much excellent material written re the (false) teaching of subordination within the Godhead and particularly as it relates to husbands and wives.
What intrigues me is that those who promote this way of thinking only make comparison of Father to Son and husband to wife when it comes to eternal subordination. What position does the Holy Spirit have in this system? There is obviously no direct comparison to the Holy Spirit within marriage and such teaching allows the thought that the Holy Spirit is just a ‘force’ and an impersonal one at that.
Another flaw in this teaching of subordination is that the only comparisons are from Ephesians 5 and the Genesis account of God’s statements after Adam & Eve sinned for the first time. Both accounts are of married people, husband and wife. Where does the teaching of subordination allow for single people, both women and men?
These are just a couple of inconsistencies which seems obvious to some but get lost by others when trying to make a doctrine from isolated passages of the bible.
