bortendahl Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Q2. (Hebrews 1:2-3) What about the author's description of the Son makes you think that the Son described is himself divine? What role does the Son have in doing the Father's will according to these verses? Because the Son is the direct and exact representation of the Lord (The most Divine). He is carrying all things from the Lord and when we read, follow, and Live in God. We have eternal life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandieh Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 The term "exact reprensentation" of the Father, says He is indeed divine. His role was that of Savior, in that He saved us from our sin and as creator, through whom everything came into being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkH Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 After reading these two verses in the King James Version, The New King James Version, The New Jerusalem Bible, and the New International Version Bibles there is no doubt that Jesus is divine. In New Jerusalem Bible, Jesus is the reflection of God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Q2. (Hebrews 1:2-3) What about the author's description of the Son makes you think that the Son described is himself divine? Jesus is the BRIGHTNESS of God's glory, God's presence. is Jesus. John 1:14 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. What role does the Son have in doing the Father's will according to these verses? Jesus came to do the will of the Father, in these verses we see and know Jesus fulfilled all He came to do and that is why He is seated in the seat of honor and authority, at the right hand of the Father.

tmroberts Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 What about the author's description makes you think that the Son described is himself devine? Th author's description states that Jesus is the owner and heir of all things God created. Not only this, but God created all things through Jesus. Only a devine Son could, by God's almighty power, be appointed to such a position of authority. It is God-given to His devine Son, not for mere human beings but devinely appointed to God's One and Only Son, Jesus Christ. What role does the Son have in doing the Father's will according to these verses? Jesus role is to carry out the devine plan of the Father which is to uphold the univers by His mighty word of power, especially the words He spoke to us while on the earth. He was also sent for the purpose of taking on sin and death for the whole human race. He is the perfect and final sacrifice for all the sins of mankind past, present and future. He accomplished a complete atonement for the whole of mankind then ascended, bodily, into heaven to rejoin His Father, God, after completing His earthly assignment. Thank You Lord Jesus!!!

Ralph Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Just the phrase, "Through whom he made the universe," indicates divinity. We also know from the passage that Jesus is the exact representation of God's being. How exciting it is to know the divine Father through His divine Son!!

jjcia Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Q2. (Hebrews 1:2-3) What about the author's description of the Son makes you think that the Son described is himself divine? What role does the Son have in doing the Father's will according to these verses? In verse 2 "but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe." a)"..but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son".. God Himself spoke by this 'Son',through this 'Son', using his physical mouth and his physical body to relay His message AS Himself (the Son as God the Father) therefore divinity of the Father is also revealed in the Son, and how divine He (the Son) is indeed! As much divine as the Father!! "..whom he appointed heir of all things.." God Himself appointed Jesus to be THE HEIR of ALL things, and that includes EVERYTHING, the heavens and earth,the entire universe, and everything within it, including you and me..Thank God for that because we are His. Actually this makes me wonder whether 'the heir of all things' also include the negative sides of 'the all thing' i.e. the earth: pollution, dying earth etc; humanity: pain,suffering, poverty, SIN..etc,etc..that's a question for everyone As I ponder upon it, I think " all things" in this verse did mean ALL THINGS, the good AND the bad..which is why He who inherits also is He who has to die once and for ALL , so that after the ultimate sacrifice, what He inherits will be what He has done..the fruit of His work on the cross.And a "new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.." Another reason for Him being divine; He is the Prince of God!! the ruler of the present and the future heaven and earth. c)"..through whom he made the universe.." God made the universe through Jesus, His Son. God imparted His power into and through Jesus, power unimaginablely great that the whole universe is created..He is Divine Power in Himself indeed!! verse 3: The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by His powerful word.After He had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the majesty in Heaven The role of the Son in doing the Father's will: a) the body/mouth of God the heir of all things - hence the cross and the reward-THE inheritance c) the Power of God d) the radiance of God's glory e) sustainer of all things f) puryfying sins by His death on the cross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Rasz Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 The fact the the author uses characteristics that are descriptive of our Holy Father and that only the divine one could possible possess all of the characteristics that are used to describe Him. It seems to me that the Son is completely responsible for doing the Father's Will. He is the only one capable of doing what the Father desires.

Frodo Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 The Son and the Father are one. The Son created the universe and sustains life through His word. The Son has the power and authority of the Father and sits at His right hand. Since they are one, the will of the Father and the Son would be the same.

Luckett Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 The author states the "Son" as "Heir of all things, and through Him God made the universe", he also says the Son is radiance of God's Glory, an exact representative of His being(God's).

betty childers Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I think god the Father and his son Jesus made this world and God was so enlightened by his son Jesus that he made him ruler of all. And for that we should all be thankful and praise his name everyday and be in his word all we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cee Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 The Superiorty of the Son's revelation is demonstrated bt 7 great descriptive statements about Him (Son). 1 Appionted heir of all things. 2. Through whom He made the universe. 3. Radiance of God's glory. 4. exact representation of His being. 5. Substaining all things. 6. Provided purification for sins, through His redeeming death on the cross. 7. Sat down at the right hand of the Father in heaven, meaning that the Son's job is complete.

InTotalAwe Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 What about the author's description of the Son makes you think that the Son described is himself divine? "Mortal man could have done none of the things mentioned in vs. 2-3 except speak for God as the prophets before did. Only deity could "make the worlds", "uphold all things by the word of his power", be the "brightness of glory" and "express image of his person", and mortal sinful man most certainly could not have "purged us from our sins."
