The Exaltation of Jesus in the Epistle to the Hebrews [4 pages]
by David Maas rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
The Epistle to the Hebrews presents a consistent picture of the Son of God who was resurrected and exalted to the right hand of God because of his faithful self-sacrifice. The Author of Hebrews bases the present exalted status of the Son not on metaphysical speculations about the Divine nature of the Eternal Son or how the “persons” of the Trinity relate to one another, but rather on the historical events of the obedience, death, resurrection and exaltation of Jesus, the Son “made like unto his brothers and sisters in all ways apart from sin.”

This teaching is part 2 of where Echad left - uncovering the usage of the NT Greek word Eis, translated in English, one. The trend that is found in the OT Hebrew regarding Echad, which means numerically one, is carried into the NT - "eis" and its counterparts words like "en", "monos" and the like, clearly bring to light the wonderful truth that God is a single person, not triune as the popular tradition of the Trinity asserts. This teaching attempts to present the biblical data.
