I recently watched the Trinity DVD and you quote from Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology saying that God actually subordinates Himself to us when he helps us. I think this is to explain his view that Eve, being Adam’s helper means that she is subordinate to Adam. I thought this was an extaordinary way to try and cling to his interpretation. I must have missed something because the implications are amazing.
Does this mean we are sometimes in authority over God?
He would surely think that sometimes a husband could help his wife. Would this mean that sometimes a husband would then be subordinate to his wife and sometimes a wife may have authority over her husband?
Surely he can’t be contadicting himself so clearly. Have I misunderstood something or has he painted himself into a corner?
