How do we know the doctrine of the eternal subordination of the Son is false?

The understanding that the Son is eternally subordinated to the Father misinterprets the economic roles seen during Christ's incarnation. This error overlooks teachings from Scripture that affirm the Son's co-creative role and equality with the Father, such as John 1:1-3, where it declares that through the Word (the Son), all things were made. Additionally, Philippians 2:5-11 provides a model for humility that does not imply inferiority but rather illustrates the voluntary submission of Christ during His earthly ministry. Thus, the eternal nature of the Trinity upholds the equal status of the Father and the Son.
