I would be happy to engage you on Hebrews 1:10, but you have not engaged verse 3. Let us go chronologically shall we? Hebrews 1:3 defines God as a being (hUPOSTASIS) and Jesus as the CARAKTHR of that being. Jesus is thus not that hUPOSTASIS but the CARAKTHR of that hUPOSTASIS. That means Jesus is not the same being as God. If you have any questions on the definition of CARAKTHR or hUPOSTASIS at Hebrews 1:3, I suggest you reference BDAG. If you don't have a copy I'll be happy to provide the complete quotes.

Now, will you please enage my point instead of trying to side-step the issue.
