Hebrews 1:8 — "Your Throne, O God"

The Maronite Catholic Church affirms that Hebrews 1:8 is a clear testimony to the full divinity of Christ. In this passage, God the Father explicitly addresses the Son as 'God,' affirming the coequality and consubstantiality of the Son with the Father. This teaching is consistent with the Nicene Creed ('God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God') and the Council of Chalcedon.

In Maronite theology, rooted in the Syriac fathers and in union with Rome, Hebrews 1:8 is received as binding doctrine on the divinity of Christ. The passage is integrated into the church's Christology and its understanding of the incarnational mystery. The Father's direct address to the Son as God is understood as definitive revelation of Christ's divine nature and status.
