Christ is called God; affirms full deity and equality with the Father
Independent Fundamental Churches affirm the reading of Hebrews 1:8 that applies the title 'God' to the Son, establishing Christ's full deity. The passage declares that the Son is worthy of worship as God and possesses an eternal throne. This is understood as affirming classical Trinitarian Christology: Christ is truly God, coequal and coeternal with the Father.
The passage is cited as biblical foundation for the divinity of Christ, his eternality, and his worthiness to receive worship. This reading is foundational to Independent Fundamental theology and denominational identity.
