Bible Note: Greetings Babbler! For those who properly understand the doctrine of the Trinity, John 10:30 would never be taken to mean that the Father and the Son are one Person. Thus, unity of purpose is certainly in view. But, I also believe that unity of nature is in view as well. Jesus, during His incarnation, did not cease to be God. He was 100 percent man and 100 percent God at the same time. As far as 1 Cor. 15:28 is concerned, I'm not sure how the relationship between Father and Son will be throughout eternity. There are some indications that Christ will ever be the Lamb that was slain. Yet, He still retains His essential nature as God as well. This would be a good verse to do more study on!
