Bible Answer: Hi peetee and welcome to the forum, As was pointed out, the Koine Greek word, that was used in the original language of the New Testament was the word, MONOGENES; it carries the connotation of being the uniquely born one. There is no one in existence that has the unique qualities that Jesus Christ has. He is different from man in that He is 100 percent God; he is different from God in that HE is 100 percent man: He is the God man. 1 Tim. 2:3-6 KJV For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; [4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. [5] For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; [6] Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Galatians 3:20 NASB Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one. Jesus being the uniquely born one, from God, is the only mediator between God and Man being the God man himself and equal with both parties. Therefore: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. What a fantastic plan, have a great day, CDBJ |
