God is a spirit being. (John 4:24) Were He to reproduce, God's progeny
would be a spirit being-- i.e. more of Himself --rather than the flesh and

The body of Jesus was begotten by God. Jesus always existed. Jesus is God. Jesus moved into the body prepared for him in the womb of Mary. That body was begotten by God the Father.

No, Jesus (the name of a man) did not always exist. The Son of God always existed, but Jesus came into this world in space and time to become God incarnate.

God’s Will is that man would choose Life.

Man’s freewill is that man can choose Life or Death.

Personally, I choose God’s Will… I choose Life…. and we all know Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The LIFE. There is NO Life apart from Jesus Christ.

I choose Jesus Christ.

The life that God wants us to choose is not eternal life, which Christ has already accomplished on the cross for those that God gave him, but is that good and abundant life of peace, joy and contentment as we sojourn here on earth. This life can only be chosen by those who have been born again.

God wants to give you Life but will not make the choice for you because He doesn’t want a robot. God wants to be with those that choose to be with Him-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God has chosen to love you and give you Life but you must also choose to love God and choose Life.

The only other option is Death.

Which one do you choose…. Life or Death?

Death, according to Strong's concordance is "a separation". The life, in Duet 30:19, is not referencing eternal life, but abundant life of joy and peace that his children can have if they choose to follow his commandments. If they choose death, they will separate themselves from God's fellowship, but not from their eternal inheritance.
