Against the eternity of Christs Kingdom may be objected, that Christ shall deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, and that the Son himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, 1 Cor. 15. 24, 28.
AGainst the eternity of Christs Kingdom may be objected, that Christ shall deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father, and that the Sonne himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, 1 Cor. 15. 24, 28.
Answ. 1.
