Eternal love
Kevin Giles is a regular critic of ‘conservative evangelicals’, most recently, because of their insistence that God the Son willingly and eternally serves God the Father. Giles calls this ‘subordinationism’, and insists that it is heresy.
However on page 31 of his book The Trinity and Subordinationism, he writes, “The Father and the Son are one in being and act, and their love is so profound that no cost is too great for our salvation. The God of the Bible is a God who stoops to save. It is godlike to gladly subordinate oneself for the good of another”.
If this is what Giles believes (and as far as it goes, it is a wonderful statement), it is difficult to see how there could be any problem with Jesus gladly submitting himself to the will of the Father from eternity to eternity.
