“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.”

Mark,

Could you agree with these two statements?
Complementarians believe gradational authority, the idea that there are grades of authority within the Trinity.
Egalitarians believe in equivalent authority, the idea that, though the Father, Son and Spirit may opperate in different roles, they are equivalent in their authority.
