…to be three gods, but rather three persons in one eternal Godhead. Thus, when we come to the Mark passage, we affirm that Jesus will be seated at the right hand of the Father, even as Psalm 110:1 testified, as Jesus states, and as Peter states (1 Peter 3:22), the writer to Hebrews affirms (Hebrews 12:2). This is not to deny that Jesus is fully the one-true God. Nor do we teach that God is one who simply manifests Himself…

…Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. Hebrews 1:8 This is God the Father talking to Jesus here. He’s calling Him God. Yet in the Old Testament, God tells us He is the ONLY GOD. What’s going on here? Scripture is telling us that Jesus and the Father are one and the same. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding that we may know Him who is…

…did not seek a kingdom here, but sought a heavenly kingdom (Hebrews 11:14-16). Jesus urges us, even commands us, to set our treasures in heaven so that our hearts will be there (Matthew 6:19-21). Paul tells the Colossians to set their minds on things above, and not on things of this earth (Colossians 3:2). In contrast, those who set their mind on this earth are cause for weeping (Philippians 3:19). Our hope and treasures are in heaven (Hebrews 10:34; 1…

…walked away from them, or responded with less than kindness to them. I have often had to apologize for such matters. The point of the article is that we all sin willfully. David had the Holy Spirit and sinned willfully by murdering Uriah. If you interpret Hebrews 10:26 as you seem to indicate, than no person could be saved for long. Fortunately, the Hebrews 10:26 passage is a warning, not a condemnation. God’s desire is to save humanity, not condemn…

…Him from death (Hebrews 5:7). Jesus today is seated at the right hand of the Father making intercession for the saints (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 10:12, 21). At the baptism of Jesus, the Father spoke from heaven, the Spirit descended from heaven, and Jesus received both the affirmation of the Father and the gift of the Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17; Luke 3:21-22). A similar event occurs at the Transfiguration, which event Peter explains in 2 Peter 1:16-17 as the “power and coming…

…[the blind man]). In Hebrews 1:6, all the angels of God worship Christ. It is always proper to worship God, and that includes each member of the Trinity. If your mother does not believe that it is proper to worship Jesus, she differs from the official Catholic teaching. Here is a website to an article in the Catholic Encyclopedia that may help her see. It addresses who Christians should worship, and it clearly states that Christians should worship the Father,…

…Israel would believe in Him. In Psalm 78:22, Asaph states that God’s anger rose against Israel because they did not believe in Him nor trust in His salvation. Of course, this is what the author of the book of Hebrews picks up in Hebrews 3 and 4. In Deuteronomy 32:20, God’s prophetic indictment of Israel was that they would be a children in whom is no faith. In Ruth 2:12, Boaz commends Ruth for having come to trust in God….

…He became our substitute. And because He is eternal, His death substituted for everyone, so that we might go free. In the book of Hebrews, we are told that through the death of Jesus, Jesus defeated the one who had the power of death, that is the devil, and delivered us from the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15). Jesus Himself said that He was the resurrection and life, and the one who believes in Him will never die (John 11:25-26)….

…love by loving God, they, in a figurative way, slap God in the face. See the graphic language of Hebrews 10:29. When humans persist in choosing not to respond to God’s love, they withdraw themselves from the protection of that love and God withdraws Himself from protecting them. Thus, in Deuteronomy 32, we find God’s response to the waywardness of Israel was to withdraw (vs. 19-20) and see what would happen to them. In Romans 1:24, 26, 28, we find…

…to Him (John 6:37). We need to rely solely on Him. Salvation is given to us when we trust in Him for our salvation. Scripture also gives us other ways of knowing that we are saved. Romans 8:16 tells us that God’s Holy Spirit testifies to our spirit that we are children of God. He does this through many ways, including convicting us of sin and prodding us to live a righteous life. The fact that we are convicted when…
