Paul quotes many Hebrew verses, referring back and forth between "the son" and "God, his God." Once again, because Heb 1:8 is mistranslated in most modern Protestant Bibles (see the actual Psalm 45:6,7 for proof) as is "proskuneo" in verse 6. I don't see why a person wouldn't want to be Christ-like and worship the God he worshiped alone. Psalm 83:18 says Jehovah "alone" is Most High God (that means by himself, by the way). Yet the angel told Mary that her child would be "called Son of the Most High." (Luke 1:32) Man that's simple. |

Hello Ben, You said, "Paul quotes many Hebrew verses, referring back and forth between "the son" and "God, his God." Once again, because Heb 1:8 is mistranslated in most modern Protestant Bibles (see the actual Psalm 45:6,7 for proof) as is "proskuneo" in verse 6." Please focus on Heb 11-12: 11They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail." "I don't see why a person wouldn't want to be Christ-like and worship the God he worshiped alone. Psalm 83:18 says Jehovah "alone" is Most High God (that means by himself, by the way). Yet the angel told Mary that her child would be "called Son of the Most High." (Luke 1:32) Man that's simple." Yes, I agree that He is the Son of the Most High. Where we disagree is what He was called before He was made flesh. Psalm 102 The LORD's Eternal Love A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the LORD. Begin at verse 1 of Psalm 102 and identify the individual being addressed in the passage. The scripture begins, "O Jehovah, do hear my prayer." 1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, And let my cry come to You. 2Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; Incline Your ear to me; In the day that I call, answer me speedily. 3For my days are consumed like smoke, And my bones are burned like a hearth. 4My heart is stricken and withered like grass, So that I forget to eat my bread. 5Because of the sound of my groaning My bones cling to my skin. 6I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert. 7I lie awake, And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop. 8My enemies reproach me all day long; Those who deride me swear an oath against me. 9For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping, 10Because of Your indignation and Your wrath; For You have lifted me up and cast me away. 11My days are like a shadow that lengthens, And I wither away like grass. Skip down to verse 12 and notice that Jehovah remains the subject of the psalm. 12But You, O LORD, shall endure forever, And the remembrance of Your name to all generations. 13You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come. 14For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, And show favor to her dust. 15So the nations shall fear the name of the LORD, And all the kings of the earth Your glory. 16For the LORD shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory. 17He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, And shall not despise their prayer. 18This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD. Notice that Jehovah continues to appear in verses 19 and 20 . 19For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary; From heaven the LORD viewed the earth, 20To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To release those appointed to death, 21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, And His praise in Jerusalem, 22When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. 23He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days. 24I said, "O my God, Do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years are throughout all generations. This is important because once you get to verse 25 the significance of the words will be manifest. Jehovah is addressed in the very same words that the writer to the Hebrews uses of the Son, Jesus Christ! Hebrews 1 11They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail." I want to make it clear that there is no reason to think that anyone other than Jehovah is being addressed by the psalmist in Psalm 102:25-27. Psalm 102 25Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 26They will perish, but You will endure; Yes, they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will change them, And they will be changed. 27But You are the same, And Your years will have no end. 28The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendants will be established before You."
