Note: This position is called subordinationism.

Supporting arguments

Only God has always existed, and the Son came to exist later, being a "son" of God in a strictly symbolic sense. The Holy Spirit was created later still by both entities. The Son and the Holy Spirit are subordinate beings. [1] [2]

Opposing arguments

God actually consists of the holy Trinity of equal divine persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Can you supply this point with a source that proves it is earnest? Do it yourself or provide the link on the talk page.
