I hear you DiscipleDave,but Jesus being the only begotten Son refers to His humanity,
for He was the only human to ever be conceived by the Spirit,so He is the only begotten Son of God,where the saints are adopted in to the kingdom,and when the fulness of the time was come,God sent forth His Son,made of a woman,made under the law,and made according to the flesh.
The SON OF GOD walked in the Garden with Adam and EVE. The Son of God was the "Lord Thy God" of the entire Old Testament, it was all Jesus.
Dan_3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Even the King said - is like the SON OF GOD - concerning seeing Jesus. This being said WAY before Jesus was conceived as a human man. What makes Jesus a SON of the FATHER in Heaven, is NOT because He was born from a human woman, but because HE was the first thing created by the FATHER IN HEAVEN. And the ONLY other thing the FATHER ever created was the Holy Ghost.Which is the second born. Jesus is considered the ONLY BEGOTTEN Son, because that is the ONLY SON the Father ever created. Now the Father created the Holy Ghost as well, that is why in a lot of references to the Holy Ghost it is like unto a female, a her, a she. What? Maybe the Daughter of the Father in Heaven? (i know not, i was not told that information)
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
God said there was no God formed after Him,so Jesus cannot be a created God,
and also if Jesus is a created God,and God the Father is above Him,then Jesus is not a God,but a created being,because God means supreme being,which if Jesus was created He could not be that supreme being,anything that God created no matter how awesome,and powerful,and intelligent,is not a God,for there can only be one God,who ever is the greatest being.
There was no God created after God,for where would he fit in,for if God is an omnipresent Spirit that fills all space,where is there room for this God,for all that is created by God,is only a created being,and not God.
Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Jesus' goings forth have been from of old,from everlasting,which means Jesus has no beginning,
Jesus' goings forth have been from of old,from everlasting,which means Jesus has no beginning,
Rev_21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev_22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Believe you which teach He has no beginning or believe Jesus when He teaches He is the beginning?
and is the visible manifestation of the invisible God,and God's own personal human body.God's Spirit cannot all fit in a human body,
but God manifest all His attributes to the man Christ Jesus,He is the fulness of the Godhead bodily,has the Spirit without measure,and it pleased the Father than in Him all fulness shall dwell,so Jesus is God Himself,who has no beginning,an invisible God that showed a visible manifestation of Himself,and the Spirit in Christ is still connected to the omnipresent Spirit of God,for God cannot be separated.
Father = God
Son = God
Holy Ghost = God
These three = ONE
Husband = Flesh
Wife = Flesh
These Two = ONE
Father + Son + Holy Spirit + True Christians = ONE
These FOUR = ONE
All of these ONE BODY
We are called children of GOD, because we all come from GOD.
