Very nice JA! Mixed in among the many scriptures that CLEARLY distinquish Jesus as someone other than and lessor to God, you have found one that subtly says it louder than many of the “clearly stated” ones.I for one had previously overlooked the importance of this one subtle statement.
Good work and thank you for pointing this out.
peace and love,

TO ALL:JA's and Mike's commentary above is DEAD WRONG! Hebrews 1:1-3 explicitly says that Christ is the RADIANCE of the Father's glory. Jesus is not the REFLECTION of the Father's glory.
Illustration:
The sun is a big sphere of light. Its rays of light RADIATE from and the sun and then touches the earth. The earth then REFLECTS the light from the rays.
Jesus did not REFLECT the glory of the Father. He IS the glory of the Father that RADIATES from the Father. His people are the REFLECTION of that, that is, of the light of Christ.
Again, Jesus is the ray of light that RADIATES from the Father. That which the ray touches then REFLECTS the light. The fact that JA and Mike do not understand the basic distinction between RADIANCE and REFLECTION shows that they do not understand essence.
The ray is not lesser than the sun but IS the sun touching its surroundings.

WJ,Did you know that JA and Mike offered no scripture which says that Jesus is the “reflection” of God. There is no such asseertion in the scripture.
The scripture says He is the “RADIANCE” of God.

Come on now. The Son is the radiance of God's glory, which means he radiates the glory of God. Just one more scripture you are blind to.
For one person to be said to “radiate the glory” of another person, then can't very well BE the same person, can they?
Did you really pm me twice and then start a new thread just because JA mistakenly said “reflect” instead of “radiate”?
peace,
