Perhaps you may consider this argument from scripture, which is self-contained, sealed, and cannot be broken:
The Apostle Paul, likewise, while writing the NT book of Hebrews under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost (
2 Tim. 3:16-17;
2 Pet. 1:21, 3:16 KJB), cites quite a bit of the OT texts (
Heb. 1:7 (
Psa. 104:4);
Heb. 1:8-9 (
Psa. 45:6-7);
Heb. 1:10-12 (
Psa. 102:12,25-27) KJB, &c), in specific application, to demonstrate that the Son of the Father is both,
[1] the highest (uncreated, eternal, infinite) messenger of the Father (
Heb. 1:1-3,9 KJB, “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son”), being a ‘fellow’ (
Heb. 1:9 KJB) messenger (an office, a position) of the other (created, finite) messengers (
Heb. 1:6,7,14 KJB; like Gabriel, ‘Herald’, &c), and
[2] “God”, “Lord” (LORD; JEHOVAH, the Son;
1 Cor. 12:3;
Php. 2:11 KJB). Notice how Paul continues this same thought, found in Hebrews 1 (
Heb. 1:12 KJB, “thou art the same”), in some of the final statements of Hebrews 13 (
Heb. 13:8 KJB, “Jesus Christ the same”) KJB:
Hebrews 1:8 KJB - But unto the Son he (the Father) saith, Thy throne, O God (the Son), is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Psalms 45:6 KJB - Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
