View Profile History	The TRIUNE GODHEAD Posted : 13 May, 2022 12:07 PM Q 🤔🤔 assuming number one you know what the Trinity is and how to define it ❓❓ And I'm assuming you're referring to Hebrews 1:5 ❓❓ (5) Jesus is superior to the angels because He is the Son of God, as shown in Psalm 2:7 and 2 Samuel 7:14. For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”? a. For to which of the angels did He ever say: The author of Hebrews proved that Jesus is superior to any angelic being because God the Father says things to God the Son that He never said to angels. i. “The Jews venerated angels because of their place in the giving of the Law (Acts 7:53; Galatians 3:19), and it was essential that Jewish Christians should learn by this comparison something of the infinite superiority of our Lord over those heavenly beings that held so prominent a place in Jewish life.” (Thomas) ii. Lesser things, if allowed more focus, take a bigger place than the greater and more important things. iii. Did He ever say: The writer to the Hebrews clearly thought that God spoke through the human authors of the Old Testament. b. You are My Son: Psalm 2:7 shows that God the Father called Jesus, “Son” – the more excellent name of Hebrews 1:4. This shows that Jesus is greater than the angels, because no angel was ever given this great name. i. Though the angels may collectively be called “sons of God” (such as in Job 1:6), but no angel is ever given that title individually. c. Today I have begotten You: God the Father also spoke to God the Son and described Him as begotten. The word begotten speaks of the equality of substance and essential nature between the Father and Son. It means that the Father and the Son share the same being. d. I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son: This quotation from 2 Samuel 7:14 is another example of something that God the Father said to God the Son that He never said to any angel. i. This statement is a good example of an Old Testament prophecy that had two fulfillments in mind. In a near and imperfect sense, the promise of 2 Samuel 7:14 was fulfilled in David’s son Solomon. In a more distant and perfect sense, it is fulfilled in the Son of David, Jesus Christ Post Reply
