Subordination within the Godhead: Roles and Ranks 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.

Messianic Bible Prophecy Fulfilled: 2 Samuel 7:14 No New Testament passage states that Jesus was the builder of the temple. i.

Trinity: Arius and the Nicene Creed He was a disciple of Lucian, who in turn was a student of Paul of Samosata, bishop of Antioch from 260 to 272. Paul was an Adoptionist (Dynamic Monarchian).

As a result, he was united with God in a relationship of love as no other man had been. Therefore, God "adopted" Jesus after his crucifixion and resurrection and gave him a sort of deity.

Is Jesus Christ, God's only true Son? ... If Christ is to be the world's judge, he must necessarily be divine. Here briefly are the claims of Jesus Christ, spread out over a ministry of some three years or more. The magnitude of these assertions is only enhanced when we realize that these extraordinary claims were made by one who demanded humility in everyone else! No wonder the Jews of his own day tried to destroy him and some men since have considered him a trifle arrogant. This charge of arrogance, however, becomes irrelevant if you would consider that Christ did not just make claims. He went on to work miracles to substantiate them (John 14:11). His resurrection, furthermore, established for all time, his divine sonship (Romans 1:4). It is not arrogance when a man claims to be something he in fact really is.
