As you know my favourite topics are 1 Cor 11 and Gen 1 -2. However, they lead me to thinking about the Trinity and the relations of the Father and Son and so also the Holy Spirit.
So, as we sang this song today, I asked myself these questions.
Are we in scripture told to tell the Holy Spirit we love Him, worship Him and adore Him? and to ask Him to glority His name? Rather, does not the Spirit glorify the Son and (thence) the Father?
Pushing harder, I asked myself in regard to the Son. Are we told to love, worship and adore Him? And I immediately answered Yes. But, the next bit I was hesitant. Are we to ask HIm to glorify His name? Rather, does not the Son glorify the Father?
Egalitarians and some/many complimentarians deny that the son is eternally subordinate to the Father. The argument is that the subordination is only in the economic Trinity.
But, is the sentiment of this hymn taking things even further than an economic Trinity? Is it presenting an egalitarian Trinity? Is this egalitarian Trinity the real Trinity as presented in Scripture?
