Summary: There is order and submission within the godhead (called the Economic Trinity) even though all three persons of the godhead are the same in essence, dignity and authority (ontological equality). God also delegates authority in three spheres of human interaction; the family, the church, and the state. Authority is given for the benefit of those who are under it. The state is given the power of the sword.<br> <br> http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/28-delegated-aut…state-and-family/
