Hebrews
Hebrews argues the Son is superior because he has “become as much superior to angels” as the name he has inherited is more excellent. It supports this by quoting Scripture that speaks to the Son in ways not said to angels (Hebrews 1:4–14). Angels are described as servants, while the Son is enthroned.
4having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
5For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son, Today have I become your father?" and again, "I will be to him a Father, And he will be to me a Son?"
6When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
7Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, And his servants a flame a fire."
8but of the Son he says, "Your throne, God, is forever and ever; The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, your God, has anointed you With the oil of gladness above your fellows."
10And, "You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12As a mantle you will roll them up. And they will be changed. But you are the same. Your years will not fail."
13But of which of the angels has he said at any time, "Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"
14Aren`t they all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
