He was not subordinate to God - Adam was walking as a god! What he said "went," what he did "counted"; and when he bowed his knee to Satan and put Satan up above him then there wasn't anything God could do about it because a "god" had placed Satan there.

Every man upon the earth, professing Christians or non professing, must hear it, and will know it sooner or later.
That world is ended, as if it had never been. Let the race of Adam and Eve take warning.
