DAVEH: Would you be so kind as to give a quick explanation of how you
understand first begotten as it applies to Jesus? Thanx in
advance, DavidM. David Miller wrote: It has everything to do with understanding the terms "begotten" and "Son" that he is using. He first brings up the concept of "son of God" in reference to those who received the Light, that they received power to become sons of God. Then after he introduces how the Logos became flesh, he introduces the aspect of his uniqueness, being the only begotten son. This clearly refers to his unique birth, being born not of men, but of the Holy Ghost. And all this points to his being in the bosom of the Father, speaking again of his birth in the flesh through supernatural means and his ancestory actually being found in God himself. So what qualifies Jesus to speak and declare God to everyone? His unique birth, being the only begotten son of the Father. Everybody else had earthly dads. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
