Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: What does it mean that Jesus is God’s only begotten son? Because there's confusion on whether or not Jesus was a created being, that He was procreated or that human reproduction played a part in His humanity. But first let me say this, "Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ" (Colossians 2:8 NLT). I say that, to say this, when you have sound doctrine from the Word of God, you are to not let ANYONE deceive you about the truth you hold on to. The Bible tells us exactly who Jesus is. Scripture after Scripture tells us that Jesus is God!! Let's not be mistaken, Jesus said, "That is why I told you that you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am the One [I claim to be], you will die in your sins” (John 8:24) AMP. 👉🏾John 1:1 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
👉🏾John 1:14 - "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."
👉🏾John 8:58 - "Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
👉🏾John 10:30 - "I and the Father are one.”
👉🏾Colossians 2:9 - "For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily."
The phrase “only begotten Son” occurs in John 3:16, which reads in the King James Version as, "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." The phrase "only begotten" translates the Greek word MONOGENES. This word is variously translated into English as "only," "one and only," and "only begotten."
It’s this last phrase ("only begotten" used in the KJV, NASB and the NKJV) that causes problems. False teachers have latched onto this phrase to try to prove their false teaching that Jesus Christ isn’t God; i.e., that Jesus isn’t equal in essence to God as the Second Person of the Trinity. They see the word "begotten" and say that Jesus is a created being because only someone who had a beginning in time can be "begotten." What this fails to note is that "begotten" is an English translation of a Greek word. As such, we have to look at the original meaning of the Greek word, not transfer English meanings into the text. SO MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN TO GET FULL CLARIFICATION!
