NASB | 1 Corinthians 15:28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:28 However, when all things are subjected to Him (Christ), then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One (the Father) who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [manifesting His glory without any opposition, the supreme indwelling and controlling factor of life]. |
Subject: How can the Son at the end be subject be |
Bible Note: Sure thing. Clearly, a distinction is present between the Father and the Son. The difference lies in how we understand that distinction. I say that the Father was manifested in the flesh. Now, God is not a man (Num 23:19), so the Father is not the Son, for the Son is indeed a man. But, the Father (divinity) was in the Son (humanity). Because the Son not only has complete divine nature, but also complete human nature, not only did He speak as being God, but He also spoke as being man. That meant He spoke of God as we all should - referring to God as "God", as well as with those male-pronouns "He", "His" and "Him". This is where we largely see differently. I say this is Jesus speaking as a man, whereas you say this is the second person speaking to the first person. But I say, for Jesus to be fully man, He had to not only "walk our walk" but also "talk our talk". For Him to "talk our talk" is not to run away with the notion that this is now a distinct person from the Father, but simply to recognize the dual natures within the Son. God bless. |
