    Subjection within the Trinity is not a heresy. The author of this post confuses subordinationism with subordination in the Trinity. Several church fathers believed in this including St. John Chrysostom, St. Cyril, and even St. Athanasius.

    And for the record, subordination within the Trinity does NOT imply certain views on gender roles.

    I would urge you to read my articles on the Trinity before spouting off to more people that subordination within the Trinity in terms of rank and procession are an ancient heresy. I have put a YEAR AND A HALF into studying the Trinity and am a former subordinationist.
