Bible Question:
Hello to all, My question today is on HEB 1:5. Does the word begotten have different meanings in scripture? I know in John 3:16 it means one and only, or unique, but does it mean the same thing for HEB 1:5? The amplified did help me understand a little, but I'm still confused.. Thanks to all. God Bless |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, Julia, In Genesis 22:2 God said, "Take now your son, your ONLY son, whom you love, Isaac" (emphasis mine. We know at the time Abraham also had another son, Ishmael (Gen 16:15, 16,17:23-26) and was called his son later (Gen 25:9,12). But remember, Jesus was not born to God the Father. The writer of Hebrews was inspired to quote what was already written (2Sa 7:14; Psa 2:7). Look at the context of all passages. Searcher |
