Certain interpretations of Scripture, particularly passages like 1 Corinthians 15:28—“Then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him”—suggest that the Son’s subjection to the Father extends beyond His earthly mission and continues eternally as part of His identity as the Son. Along with Jesus’ assertion that the Father is greater than He, these interpretations indicate that the concept of co-equality upheld by historical church councils in Christendom is not fully supported by Scripture. Additionally, no mainstream churches in Christendom teach both of these biblical concepts—that the Father is eternally greater than the Son and that the Son is eternally subject to the Father.
