Christian Science rejects the literal deity of Jesus while affirming his unique spiritual status. Hebrews 1:8 ('Your throne, O God') is not understood as the Father calling the Son 'God' in a literal sense but as recognition that Jesus manifested divine qualities and power. Jesus is 'the Son' in the sense of being the most complete expression of God's Truth and Love available to humanity, but he is not God incarnate or a distinct divine person. Christian Science emphasizes Jesus' humanity and his role as the greatest exemplar of Christian healing and spiritual law, not as a metaphysical deity.
