Davy says
Hebrews 1:3-Who being the brightness of His glory, and
the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;[/QUOTE\]
The first part of this Scripture says: who(meaning Jesus)being the brightness of his glory. Who is the words "his glory" referring to, God right? Well since this part of the scripture is saying, who is the brightness of his glory, that part of the scripture is telling me that Jesus is reflecting that brightness of God glory. That doesn't mean Jesus is that glory but he is reflecting the brightness of God glory.
Another part of that Scripture in Hebrews 1:3 says Jesus being
express image of His person, again expressing the image of a person doesn't make you that person.

Hebrews 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."[/QUOTE\]
I notice in Hebrews 1:9 it says-
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God,
even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.kjv
Am I suppose to ignore verse 9 of Hebrews chapter 1 that shows the one called God in verse 8 has a God over him. I'm not going to do that.
Following his resurrection, Jesus informed his disciples, “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth,” isn't it true that the Only True God has always had all authority? Also how can anyone believe that anyone would give God authority when he has always had all authority. This scripture is showing however that because Jesus is given all authority he heads a government of universal domain. (
Mt 28:18) The apostle Paul made clear that Jesus’ Father has “left nothing that is not subject to him [Jesus],” with the evident exception of “the one who subjected all things to him,” that is, Jehovah, the Sovereign God. (
1Co 15:27; Heb 1:1-14; 2:8) Jesus Christ’s “name,” therefore, is more excellent than that of God’s angels, in that his name embraces or stands for the vast executive authority that Jehovah God has placed in him. (
Heb 1:3, 4) Only those who willingly recognize that “name” and bow to it, subjecting themselves to the authority it represents, will gain life eternal. (
Ac 4:12; Eph 1:19-23; Php 2:9-11) They must, sincerely and without hypocrisy, line up with the standards Jesus exemplified and, in faith, obey the commands he gave.—
Mt 7:21-23; Ro 1:5; 1Jo 3:23.
