Bible Question:
What do you think only begotten refers to in John 3:16. And in Matthew 27:46, what do you think Jesus meant when he said in a loud voice, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" and whom do you think he was speaking to? I capitalized Thou because that is how it is written in my bible. |
Bible Answer: I think you will find that the best application of only begotten is that of the virgin birth. That My God , My God was a quote from Psalms 22 which details the crucifixtion. If those that were there would have looked at the Psalm he was quoting they would have seen all the proofs of the prophecy of the crucifixtion. |
