Bible Question:
It says in John 3:16"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Why did god call jesus his Begotten Son and not his born son? |
Bible Answer: Agertc The word begotten in Greek really means one of a kind. The Strong's says only begotten, only born, but the real sense of this is missing... Jesus is the only one brought forth by God as the incarnation of God. Jesus is fully man and fully God - the only one of His kind. John 3:16, 18 Acts 13:33 Philemon 1:!0 Hebrews 1:15, 5, 11, 11:17 1 John 4:9 In every single instance in the New Testament the word means the same exact thing. It is never referring to Jesus birth, but to His one of a kindness as brought forth by God. peacebestill |
