Submission within the Trinity (2)

This article critiques the doctrine of Eternal Functional Subordination (EFS) by examining key biblical passages that proponents cite in its support, particularly focusing on distinctions between Christ's human will and divine will. Laning argues that passages like John 6:38 speak to Christ's incarnate human nature rather than eternal subordination within the Godhead, and he addresses the theological error of conflating these two concepts. The article aims to clarify the proper Reformed understanding of the Trinity against a contemporary doctrinal error that has influenced conservative Christian literature on practical topics like marriage.
