From a very deep debate among Evangelicals regarding the Holy Trinity:
Both sides employed technical, nuanced arguments derived from Scripture with help from philosophy. Subsequent responses between the two sides brought greater clarity to the perspectives that separate them. Ware and Grudem argued that in the economic Trinity of the Bible (the three persons as seen in the outworking of the "economy" of salvation) we see the relations between the three as they always have been and will be. But Yandell countered that what sounds biblical from Ware and Grudem actually comes through a filter of Greek philosophy that obscures the meaning of the Incarnation and Pentecost.
I will not get into the issue of "subordination" partially because I don't know what that term means in their context and also because of time. It's interesting though, that when you lack the framing mindset of TRADITION you end up getting into Scriptural slugfests. And when you're in a Scriptural slugfest, every verse will be matched with another without any sort of standard (canon??) of Truth.
Basically, you can't win. In Orthodox Christianity though, the issue isn't the proper reading of the Bible so much as being in line with the teachings from the Apostles. And that itself would necessarily lead into the proper understanding of Scripture.
