The Entire theme of the Bible centers around One Key = word, words, God trying to get people to accept and abide in his EXPRESSED words.
Just look at the results for Adam and Eve, over words.
So that is what we should be linking, to most areas.
Jesus is the Son of the God and Father and he repeatedly says, that he speaks (expresses) the Fathers words, Not his own and they are Spirit and Life, the word of life, which was in the Father John 1:4.
John 5:25, 26 - (Spiritually 25) - Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
For as the Father has life in himself (words) so has he given to the Son (words) to have life in himself John 6:63,68.
And naturally God expresses them out of himself...............and God was/is the Word -> NOT Jesus, he is the results of and carrier of it.
Considering we have the God and Father Yehowah continuously speaking (expressing) in the OT and Jesus is the Son of Him, regardless as to whether you think he is the Word, WHY do you seem to have issues with the fact of him being, the Express Image of the God and Fathers Person?????????
Now you harp on about me taking snippets and yet this is Exactly what you have done here with Heb 1:3 alone.
THE FIRST TWO VERSES OF HEB SETS THE STAGE OF WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, TOPIC, IN RELATION TO AND THAT IS GOD'S WORD BEING EXPRESSED.
1 - God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers in the prophets,
2 - has in these last days spoken to us in His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;
"appointed heir" = rules him out in an instant of being the creator, as all things would have already been his.
"last days" = after his Baptism and NEVER EVER before, so what the bleepers was your created pre-existing Jesus doing in the OT times?
"in his Son" = John 14:10,11 - Inter - Not believe you that I am in the Father, and the Father in me is? The words that I speak to you, from myself not I speak, but the Father in me dwelling does the work of Him.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; if but not, through the work them believe.
Keep in mind, this is Jesus's answer to, "if you have seen me, you have seen the Father".
The ONLY work of the Fathers that Jesus is referencing in THIS verse IS the words coming out of him.
How and Why = John 3:34 - For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for (because) God does not give the Spirit by measure.
Luke 4:18 - The Spirit of Yehowah is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news = (flesh) to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,
(and the Word Goodnews (flesh) became.....).
and God was/is the Word -> hearing the words coming out of Jesus, is deemed as Seeing the Father, spiritually, the times we are now in.
Before we get to Hebrews 1:3, we need to clarify the meaning of a few things, as in some words in 1:3.
Inter -> "radiance" -> brightness, light, a light flashing.
God is light 1 John 1:5, God is the Father of lights, James 1:17, God's word is light Psa 119:105 Prov 6:23.
Jesus had the words of the Fathers without measure, resulting in;
John 12:46 - I have come a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.
He is also the light, Son of The Light, as much of the word of God centers around him, and one of a few reasons, that he is named the word of God, and another is, because he became the carrier of it, in a big way.
And he brought them out of the darkness, by expressing out the words, the Father gave him.
We are to do likewise, become children of The Light -> Matt 5:14 - [FONT=Roboto][COLOR=#001320][SIZE=16px]You are [/SIZE][B][SIZE=16px]the light[/SIZE][/B][SIZE=16px][SIZE=16px] of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=16px][B]Heb 1:1,2 sets the stage for the following, various ways that the only true God and Fathers words have been EXPRESSED Forth and now effectively coming into a living Bible, Temple.[/B]
You could effectively say, the Tablets containing the word of God (new version) became flesh, in the flesh, without measure, to show us the Father, his words being the expression of his Spirit, as they are the Spirit of him, his person expressed.
