Father addresses Son as God; affirms Son's deity and eternal kingship

The C&MA affirms Hebrews 1:8 (citing Psalm 45:6-7) as direct evidence of the Son's full deity. The Father addresses the Son as 'God' (ho theos), establishing that the Son possesses the divine name and divine nature. This is understood as explicit theological statement that the exalted Christ is truly God.
