The problem with this whole Trinity topic is that people try to understand the supernatural using the natural, using their finite minds to define our infinite God. It simply can't be done.
Enter Faith.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Jesus is the Word. The Word was with God, ergo Jesus was with God. The Word IS God, ergo, Jesus IS God.
But, How can that be? Well, maybe my mind can't fathom that. But God's Word which I accept on faith to be true, says it is so, ergo, it is so.
Shouldn't that be good enough for all of us?

Well, it should be, but there is the little problem of our eventually needing to have a relationship with the Father through Jesus, and it is very important to have the understanding of just who we are dealing with before we seek to enter into this relationship.
I truly do not intend to make it a point of contention. If everyone is uncomfortable with the idea that Jesus is in submission to the Father, then I will let it slide.
I really don't want to be in contention about this. But it seems to be another one of those touchy spots that ought to tell us something.
