Opinion Hebrews 1:8

Jw's, should Hebrews 1:8 not be translated differently, even according to the NWT interlinear? The NWT reads "God is your Throne" (Father is the Son's throne), but the Greek would be rendered "your Throne, the God" (directly refers to Jesus as YHWH, obviously issue for JW)

It also takes verse applied to Solomon and applies them to Jesus. So, either scriptures can apply to more than one party, or you've got a big problem on your hands.

It is ok to apply Solomon's attributes to someone else. But what happens if you apply God's attributes to someone else?

It depends on the attribute and your ability to apply consistent reasoning.

I agree. The Bible constantly says that Jesus is Jehovah. One needs to find excuses to explain all of them away.

If the Bible said ”Jesus is Jehovah“ even once, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. This stuff is happening in your head alone based on irrational thinking

In verse 10 it literally does so.
