Excellent post. A note on origen's take on "subjection". I think an argument that is often missed is that the subjection of "all things" to christ is paralleled with the subjection of Christ himself to the Father. If I remember correctly, Origen argues that because Christ's subjection to the Father is willing, and not akin to "subjection at the end of a sword", so to is the subjection of "all things".
