Trinitarians: Who is Jesus subjecting all things to? Who is it that has the exception from his authority?
(1 Corinthians 15:27, 28) For [God] “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.

Great question. Also, how does he sit at the "right hand of God" if he is God?
(Hebrews 10:12) . . .But this [man] offered one sacrifice for sins perpetually and sat down at the right hand of God,

Jesus here has (if you read the previous verses) been raised from the dead, and in doing so has raised up those who have died to himself. There will be a time it says when he will come for us who remain and then the end will come. At that point it says that through his actions on the cross and in his life he established God's kingdom on earth, and at the end it says he will give to God all that he has gained, which is everything. But when it speaks of everything it obviously isn't talking about God himself, because God is not part of the thing that was to be subjected under christ, that's all. I hope that makes more sense.

(1 Corinthians 15:27-28)
" For the Scriptures say, "God has put all things under his authority." (Of course, when it says "all things are under his authority," that does not include God himself, who gave Christ his authority).Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God's authority meaning the Father, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere."

For he hath put - God has put by promise, purpose, or decree.
All things under his feet - He has made all things subject to him; or has appointed him to be head over all things; compare Matthew 28:18; John 17:2; Ephesians 1:20-22. It is evident that Paul here refers to some promise or prediction respecting the Messiah, though he does not expressly quote any passage, or make it certain to what he refers. The "words" "hath put all things under his feet" are found in Psalm 8:6, as applicable to "man," and as designed to show the dignity and dominion of man.

God subjects all things to Jesus and Jesus in turn gives it back to the Father, Himself included that everything is subjected to the Father. In God's eyes however, Jesus has the power to do all He will.... create, save, to judge, punish and to destroy. John :1-18 (just one of many examples of this)

Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father.
This is an internal relationship and does NOT deny the DEITY of any Person of the Trinity.
The individual members of the Trinity have different tasks.
The Father is the ultimate source or cause of the universe.

Now that verse makes the Trinity to be the most nonsensical idea around.

John 8:24 KJV (Jesus is I am)
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Isaiah 43:10-11 KJV (LORD is I am)
Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Exodus 3:14 KJV ( God is I am)
And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.
John 8:58 KJV ( Jesus claimed to be the I am )
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus is the LORD Almighty God
(LORD said they shall look upon me whom they have pierced)
Zechariah 12:10 KJV
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
(JESUS is the one who is pierced and he is the Almighty)
Revelation 1:7-8 KJV
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Jesus the Word was God incarnate John 1:1, 1:14
John 1:1 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 KJV
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Zech. 12:10 - In this verse God is speaking and says, "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son" (Zech. 12:10, NASB). A.The Jehovah's Witnesses change the word "me" to "the one" so that it says in their Bible, "...they will look upon the one whom they have pierced..."
Since the Jehovah's Witnesses deny that Jesus is God in flesh, then Zech. 12:10 would present obvious problems--so they changed it.
