DrD Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 The attributes used by the author to describe the Son indicates He has the same attributes and charateristics as the Father, attributes that the Father did not share with any of His creations. This tells me that the Son is divine. The roles the Son has in doing the Father's will according to these verses are the agent of creation, the sustainer and preserver of the universe and co-ruler.

FollowYeshua Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 the "exact representation of his being" projects that Jesus is divine. The role that Jesus has is doing and saying exactly what God the Father tells Him. Jesus is to imitate and "be" God here in the flesh.

Horace Preddie Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Jesus was the co-creator of the world. Only the sinless Jesus through His death and shed blood on the cross could wash away our sins of the past, present and future. Because of His obedience to His Father, Jesus' eternal reward is to sit at the right hand of the Father and intercede on our behalf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marloes Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 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? The Son has all the characteristics of God. The Son - is the spokesman of God (vs. 2) - is the heir of all things (vs. 2) - He made the world (vs. 2) - is the express image of God's person (vs. 3) - is upholding all things by the word of his power (vs. 3) - sits at the right hand of God(vs. 3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Claire Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 He sits at the right hand of God and has Glory, honor and power. He keeps everything together and even upholds the universe. Jesus is Co ruler with the Father. His word is all powerful and once spoken out does not return to Him un accomplished.

Jesus role is that of Son because he did his Father's will by dying on the cross and then he sits at his Father's right side in Heaven.

momsmom Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 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? If Christ is the EXACT representation of God, HE is divine as much as God is divine. He is not the reflection of God as we are. He is the same as God. His role as Sustainer, Author of the universe, etc. is far more than would be attributed to any mortal.

Commissioned Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 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? From the author's description of the Son, His divinity is shown most when he described Jesus as "the radiance of divine glory." This is because God said in Isaiah 42:8 "... I will not give my glory to another, ...." In doing the Father's will the Son's role is being the exact representation of God's being. This ensures the Father's will is done here on earth.

jacquie7 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 2. The Son is eternal, forever with universal dominion over all – everything and everyone. The Son is the brightness of God’s glory. He is the exact nature, image, and character of the Father. The Son is appointed by the Father as heir of ALL things which includes sustaining all things by His powerful word, provision of cleansing from our sins, sustaining and preserving the universe. He is superior and has higher rank over humans and angelic beings. He is at the Father’s Right Hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlkaye Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Several of these 6 descriptions show divine attributes, but the one that stands out to me is the radiance. This is supernatural, superhuman. Ordinary humans just don't produce this kind of glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahera Kine Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 He is divine as His Father, he is the Creator, John says in the begining was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In all 6 descriptions points out His divinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Abdullah Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 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? [1.] God hath appointed him to be heir of all things. As God, he was equal to the Father; but, as God-man and Mediator, he was appointed by the Father to be the heir of all things, the sovereign Lord of all, the absolute disposer, director, and governor of all persons and of all things, Ps. 2:6, 7. All power in heaven and earth is given to him; all judgment is committed to him, Matt. 28:18; John 5:22. [2.] By him God made the worlds, both visible and invisible, the heavens and the earth; not as an instrumental cause, but as his essential word and wisdom. By him he made the old creation, by him he makes the new creature, and by him he rules and governs both. [3.] He upholds all things by the word of his power: he keeps the world from dissolving. By him all things consist. The weight of the whole creation is laid upon Christ: he supports the whole and all the parts. When, upon the apostasy, the world was breaking to pieces under the wrath and curse of God, the Son of God, undertaking the work of redemption, bound it up again, and established it by his almighty power and goodness. None of the ancient prophets sustained such an office as this, none was sufficient for it. the apostle having proved Christ to be superior to the angels by whose ministry the law was given, and therefore that the gospel dispensation must be more excellent than the legal, he now comes to apply this doctrine both by way of exhortation and argument.

Old Jerry Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I think that the author’s description of the Son makes me think that the Son described is divine. The role of the Son in doing the Father’s will according to these verses is that He has authority and that He is exactly what the Father wants.

joelsr Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 The Scripture certainly does describe the devine attributes of Jesus. I really don't know how to further answer this question as I am essentially a literalist. What I read in Scripture is, at least to me, the Word of God.

lighthouse2014 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 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? The author of Hebrews describes the "Son" of God with such definiteness that we are convinced who Jesus is by his words of truth, signs, miracles and exact representation of his father. That he was with the father for all of eternity. The role of the "Son" of God has, in these verses done the father's will by the fact that the "Son" is the co-creator of all things and sits at the right hand of the father. Because he is the exact representation of the father, it is his role to perform and teach all that God the Father had told and showed him to do.

Tyreek Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Combining the six characteristics of Jesus described in Hebrews 1:2-3, we can ascertain the deity of the son. The brightness of God’s glory and being His exact image makes me think He is divine. The son has a great role in doing the Father’s will. He was appointed by God to speak to us for God in these last days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Price Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 the father and the son are one. I don't think it, He said it and God's word is true. I believe it. Jesus is God in the flesh who was sent to earth to redeem man from sin, back to the Father who created him. I know it sounds like and reads like two different persons to the unbeliever or someone who does not understand, but one has to read and study the word to know. There are so many scriptures throughout the bible that confirms this. God is a spirit but for man to be forgiven of sin, and because we are flesh, Jesus came in the flesh for us to see and believe. It is thru him that we have a relationship with God the father. We don't have to understand it all, but we do have to believe and accept it as true. that is part of the condition of receiving eternal life. I read the word daily and study, but have not been able to quote scripture from top of my head, I have to research to find where it is, but I know it's in there! (lolol) God is not through with me yet! I'm still working on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
