The Trinity is said to be the main doctrine of Christianity. Verses from Hebrews 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 – Who does the verse say is Jesus’ God? If Jesus has a God over him, how can he be God’s equal?

Hebrews 1:5b – “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son” (NIV).  Since this verse quotes 2 Samuel 7:14, which applies to Solomon, does that make Solomon equal to God?

Hebrews 1:10 – Who does Hebrews 1:2 say God made the universe through? If this verse, Hebrews 1:10, makes Jesus equal to God, who in 2 Samuel 7:14 is also equal to God?
