Cheryl,

Again you have said pretty much the same as Frank and others in ‘Discovering Biblical Equality’.

“Also subordination of function necessitates a subordination of essence.”

This is a novel modern understanding, and throwing this back to early trinitarian debates is not correct in my opinion. In all honesty it seems like it is the egal attempt to discredit the distinctions made by some comps on essence/roles. I truly dont see any evidence of this type of understanding/reasoning in early church debates. But perhaps this is one of those areas we will agree to disagree.
