Bible Authenticity

The Trinity is said to be the main doctrine of Christianity. Verses from Hebrews chapter 1 are often used to support the doctrine. However, there are some very valid and legitimate questions about what the verses in Hebrews actually say about the Trinity issue that need to be answered.

Hebrews 1:1 – “In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways” (NIV). Who is the “God” mentioned here?

Hebrews 1:2 – “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” (NIV).

·         Who is “his Son” that God has spoken by?

·         Who appointed Jesus to be “heir”?

·         What does it mean that God made the universe through Jesus?

·         If Jesus created the universe
, what did God do?

·         What does Genesis 1:1 say God did?

·         Who is the God of Genesis 1:1?

Hebrews 1:3 – How does being “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being” make Jesus equal to God?

Hebrews 1:5 – Who made the Father-Son declaration? Who decided this relationship? Explain how this makes the Father and Jesus equal?

Hebrews 1:8 – Does “about the Son he says, ‘Your throne, God'” make Jesus equal to the Father? If so, then what does it make the human king about which it was originally said at Psalm 45:6?

Hebrews 1:9 –

“God, your God, has set you above your companions” (NIV). read more
