Affirms Christ's eternal divinity; Father addresses Son as God

Thomas Christians interpret Hebrews 1:8 as affirming the Son's full and eternal divinity. The Father's address of the Son as 'God' establishes the Son's equality of nature and authority with the Father, a foundational conviction in Eastern Orthodox Christology affirmed by the Thomas Christians.
