Thanks. Good post from Patrick.
ESS/EFS = much bad. It's revamping the Trinity to justify a particular slant on complementarianism. This is a hill to die on.
Defenders like to say, "It's just a functional eternal subordination, not an ontological one." Doesn't work like that. Bruce Ware disagrees, as he correctly notes: " “function always and only follows essence. Put differently, what something can do is an expression of what it is” ( Biblical Foundations for Manhood and Womanhood, p. 76).

From the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit. According to the gradationist model, with each term there is a diminution of authority. Logically, then, the Holy Spirit should be the bottom-rung. But if that is the case, then why is the Holy Spirit “casting Jesus” (εκβαλλω) into the wilderness (Mark 1:12)?
Yes.Many talk about Christ's submission in his mission on earth. Would it be equivalent to talk about Christ's submission in his human nature? Christ submits to the Father in his human nature but is equal in authority in his divine nature. Reminds me of the Athanasian Creed...
"Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the Father as touching his Manhood."
