@neologist,
Thanks for the verses, neologist.
I was wondering though, what could actually be meant that Jesus is begotten by God when the following verses seems to show that those in heaven do not beget children.
Mark 12:24-25 24And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven
If the meaning of beget is to be born, then how is this wording " only begotten son of God" to be understood? Unless, all God meant is that he
declared Jesus to be his son such as in ....Hebrews 1:5 when he says that I will be his Father, and he shall be to me a Son. Wasn't he always his Son? When did be become God's Son? And how does this make him begotten?
King James Version Hebrews 1:5.
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again,
I will be to him a Father, and
he shall be to me a Son?
What do others here think?
