3 | what does begotten mean?? | John 3:16 | Emmaus | 29599 | ||
We "beget" our offspring from what is already within us. We "create" externaly from things external to us, or in God's case from nothing. Thus God created the universe from nothing and us from the matter he created. But Jesus Christ was "begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father." ( Nicean Creed) That is he, the Son, was always present in the Father and the Father in him, eternally pre-existent before his incarnation. Emmaus |
