1 | Son or son? Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Gen 1:26 | zerotheory | 65419 | ||
Hank, Clearly Jesus is discussed in John 1 however, look at [John 1:13] Which were **born**, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, **but of God**." [John 1:13] tells of the **creation** of Jesus Christ by hte will of God. "Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, or merely a prophet, or some sort of angelic being, or perhaps just a man?" I think everyone and everything is the eternal Son of God. What DO you believe? I believe in MYSELF. I believe in my versions of interpretations as hopefully you believe in yours. Hearing your version helps me form mine and for that I thank you. |

Greetings Zerotheory! You said that John 1:13 speaks of the 'creation' of Jesus. However, it does not! John 1:12-13 speaks of those who believe in Jesus becoming sons of God, not physically, but spiritually. It says nothing in these verses about Jesus being created. Please show me where you find that in John 1:13! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

[John 1:12] But as many as received **him(Jesus)**, to them gave **he(Jesus)** power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on **his(Jesus)** name: [John 1:13] ***Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.*** And here is the item you are looking for: [John 1:14] "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." It was here at this time that Jesus, the Son of God, was **begotten**(created). |

Greetings Zerotheory! My friend, the pronoun 'which' in verse 13 refers to those who received Jesus in v. 12. So, those who were born in v. 13, is a reference to the spiritual birth of those who have received Christ, not to the 'birth' of Jesus. Verse 14 does not refer to the creation of Jesus, but to His incarnation. We know from the Gospel that Jesus became flesh. This is what is refered to in v. 14. However, there is not a single verse anywhere in the Bible that says Jesus was created or that there was ever a time when He did not exist. This is exactly the point that John 1:1-4 makes. I think you asked about 'begotten' in another post, so I'll deal with that point there! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
