1 | What's Today I have begotten Thee mean? | Heb 1:5 | Jario | 61914 | ||
In Hebrews 1:5 what does God the Father mean when He said in the NASB that "Today I have begotten Thee (Jesus)". Is the Father referring to Jesus' physical birth or is there another explanation for God's statement. Thanks |

2 | What's Today I have begotten Thee mean? | Heb 1:5 | Kindgo | 61915 | ||
The Scriptures prove Jesus is superior to the angels 1. (5) Superior because He is the Son (evidence: Psalm 2:7 and 2 Samuel 7:14) a. The more excellent name of 1:4 is the name Son b. The angels may collectively be called "sons of God" (Job 1:6), but not angel would ever be given that title individually c. Begotten speaks of the equality of substance and essential nature between the Father and Son d. We must avoid the tendency to promote Jesus' deity at the expense of His humanity; the incarnation means that He is fully God and fully man; no single book stresses both themes than does Hebrews |

3 | What's Today I have begotten Thee mean? | Heb 1:5 | Ray | 61925 | ||
Hi kindgo, Welcome to the forum. You have made some good points about the difference between the sons of God and the only begotten Son. I wonder however about the reference of 2 Samuel 7:14 for evidence for Jesus being the Son. Psalm 2:7 is a good reference but 2 Samuel is talking about Solomon and how "he will be a son to Me" and how "I will be a Father to him". I also must take issue with your last paragraph. I would say that we must avoid the tendency to promote Jesus' humanity at the expense of His Deity. The incarnation means that He came in the likeness of men, born of a woman, but He is fully God and fully Man. Hebrews stresses that our High Priest is not like the high priests who had to offer up sacrifices for their sins and then the sins of the people. I look forward to talking more with you. From the heart, Ray |
