In the first two chapters of Hebrews, God hurls out declarations about His Son.

The literal out raying of Gods glory,
The agent that created these worlds,
That the "Son of God" , was the agent of creation.
 
In the first two chapters of Hebrews, God hurls out declarations about His Son.

The literal out raying of Gods glory,
The agent that created these worlds,
That the "Son of God" , was the agent of creation.

In the beginning of Hebrews, God spoke 7 utterances about His Son.

1) He's the heir of all things.
2) He's the author and finisher of faith.
3) He made the worlds.
4) He's the out raying of Gods image.
5) He upholds all things by the word of His power.
6) He purged our sins.
7) He sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high.

Jesus is the absolute despot over His house. We're the house of God.
Jesus is building a new house, literally rooting it, grounding it upon His own nature. Transforming us into the very fiber, the matrix, the foundation, the walls, the parts, the elements.

"We're the house"!

The manifestation of His presence, comes according to His word, and the laws of His word.

Jesus' throne is "for ever and ever".

Heb 1:8 "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."
This is the Father speaking to His Son.
In the Greek original it is "eis aiōn aiōn". From forever to forever.
Paul is quoting from Psa. 45:6 "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre."
In the Hebrew original the words King David used were "ʿôlām ʿaḏ". From forever in the past to forever in the future.
Micah talks about the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem (Mic 5:2) where it says "whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." There's that word "olam" again. Eternity in the past.

Not only do these texts show a pre-existance of Jesus from eternity in times past they also have God the Father calling His Son "God".
Heb 1:9 and Psa 45:7

So this should be an easy question for you to answer: Who is the God of God?

Well my instinctive answer is the Great I AM has no God.

Your question gets into the paradoxical truth of God being 3 separate entities , and one single entity at the same time all the time.

Our frame of reference can't understand that. So that question can't be answered from our current framework of understanding.

Am I missing something? Astound me!

As mortals how can we ever understand the nature of an infinite God?
Even if we live forever into the future we are still created beings with a limited past.

Fact is there are plenty of passages in scripture that tell us there is only one God.
There are plenty of others that say there are three of them...
The creation story (from Gen 1:1 through 2:7) shows 3.

You're right. It seems to be a paradox. Yet both sides of the argument are true. The scripture supports both ideas.

Here is a thought though:
When Eve was made God said "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife and they will be ONE FLESH."
Two separate beings yet in God's eyes one complete entity.
Are you married? Ever heard anyone refer to their spouse as the "better half"?
Half of what?

I'm not saying the Father married the Spirit and they had the Son. But the concept of 3 beings acting together as one entity is the same.

Agreed, I was glad to see i didn't miss the answer, lol.

Here is the definition of a paradox from my gifted teacher. He claimed to have taken 6 months to teach this to his genius students in college.

" A paradox embraces two things, mutually contradictory, exclusive of one another, yet concomitant. Existing at the same time, merged together, both true, yet entirely opposite. The deeper truths of God are all paradoxes."
 
Christ made eternal life totally dependant upon making "Him" our master.

Christ didn't preach an ethic apart from Himself, He preached Himself. He said,
" I am the door, I'm the light, I'm the way, I'm the water of life, by me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved."

Christ put Himself at the center of the religious universe.

Thirteen times on the sermon on the mount, Jesus said, " you've heard it said unto you, " "but I say ".

Jesus seated all authority in Himself.

Every time this gospel is preached, Jesus said to tell what this woman did. What the woman did was the proper response to the hearing of Gods word. She gave her most precious possession and wasted it on the word of God.

Our most precious possession is our surrendered life.
 
Elohiym is the God of gods.
Jesus was given all authority, but to be given something means that another had to give.
Jesus did only what the father told him.
Jesus was obedient even to the death of the cross.....again to be obedient to whom or what?

Elohiym is plural. Plural in the Hebrew is 3 not 2

I believe it was a great dis service to take the names of God and change them to just God or Lord in the text we have.

There are 7 names of God.
It's a great study to look at each of them and their meanings.

Jesus came making these claims about Himself.

1) I saw lucifer cast down.
2) I was there when the world's were formed.
3) I am the living bread.
4) All authority under heaven and earth is given to me.
5) I'm the door.
6) Im the light.
7) I'm the way.
8) I'm the water of life.
9) By me, if any human being enter in , he will be saved.
10) If you build on what I say, you build on a rock.
11) If you build on anything else, your a dead duck.
12) I'm it !
13) There is something wrong with all of you, that can only be set right by Me.
14) I haven't come to destroy the law, I've come to fulfill it.
15) I am going to ransom the whole world with Me.

Jesus was either someone who needed to be in a straight jacket, or He is who He said He was, the Son of God.

Life eternal is not based on how well you imitate some other disciple, or how well you conform to church traditions.

Life eternal, is based on what you do with Jesus, who came and gave His life for you and rose again.

To lead, help, and claim you.

Justification means, God looks at the " faither" the one personally surrendering their lives to Him and living a life inspired by such surrender, like he is "just like" Christ.

When God looks at us, faithers, He puts on the " spectacles of Christ " and he sees us just like He sees Christ.

We can't have the mind of Christ, if it doesn't make us want to give.

Jesus lived our righteousness, Jesus died for our sins, were guarded by the power of God. He's already preparing mansions for us, and the Holy spirit has come to live in us.

There is only one thing that can break the connection , our faith! Stop personally surrendering our lives to Him and living a life inspired by such surrender. Thats it!
