The Only Begotten Son of God [podcast]

SHOCKER: This message exposes how Satan’s new “bibles” attack the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith.

The virgin birth, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the perfect sacrifice for man’s sin cannot be separated.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 

“Begotten” means “to father”

WHY does the King James Bible use the word “begotten” when informing us of the Messiah? (See John 1:14, 18; 3:16; Hebrews 11:17; 1 John 4:9.) Firstly, the translators faithfully translated as the LORD ordained and oversaw and guided such. Secondly, the arch enemy of Christ, Satan, has been hard at work through evil men to steal the testimony and the glory due to the Messiah (Mark 4:15).

Now, if you are still reading an English Bible that isn’t the King James Bible, go check to see how many times the demonic editors of that fake “bible” removed the word “begotten.” Search it. | Fake “bibles” Exposed

Concerning Jesus Christ, the words “only Son” NEVER once appear in the Word of God – the King James Bible. Yet, “only BEGOTTEN Son” appears 5 times in the King James Bible concerning Jesus Christ. Make no mistake: This is a Gospel essential. No one can be saved who does not believe the record of God – that Jesus was born of a virgin, “the only begotten of the Father” (John 1:14).

What does “the RECORD” of God’s Word state?

“He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.” 1 John 5:10

Those who don’t believe and/or speak against the record of God’s Word, how it records the truth that Jesus Christ fulfilled all prophecy to the T concerning the Messiah, including that He was the only One in history born of a virgin, begotten by the heavenly Father in the womb of Mary (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:21-23).

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” 1 John 5:11

Eternal life is only in Christ and to appropriate it, one must believe the record of the Son of God – that He was “the only (unique in all history) begotten Son of the Father.” (John 1:14, etc.)

“The only begotten of the Father – That is, the only person born of a woman, whose human nature never came by the ordinary way of generation; it being a mere creation in the womb of the virgin, by the energy of the Holy Ghost.” Adam Clarke

“Made flesh, not spirit; man, not God; and earthly, not heavenly. This made Him God’s Son, for sonship in connection with Jesus Christ always refers to humanity, never to deity.” Dake

“The only begotten”

“Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, and if a person doesn’t believe that they are condemned (John 3:15-18 KJB).” D.

John 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1:18  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

John 3:16  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.

John 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

1 John 4:9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

The First prophecy of the Messiah

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it (the Messiah) shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15

The Messiah would be born of a “virgin.”

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14

“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:18-23

1. What is the divine significance of the term “only begotten Son” in John 1:14 and 3:16, etc.?

2. Is this an essential doctrine of the Christian faith? If so, why?

3. What is the significance of “only begotten Son” in the prophetic fulfillment of the Messiah?

Christology means the study of Christ who is unique in all of history. Christ’s virgin birth is a Gospel essential and could not have occurred unless He were “begotten of the Father” in the womb of Mary, a virgin – in fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:21-23; John 1:14).

Scripture foretold that Christ would be “from everlasting” and “the mighty God” (Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9:6-7).

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7

How could Jesus Christ possibly have fulfilled prophecy if He were not divine which required that He be “begotten of the Father” in the womb of a “virgin”?

If you will be planted deep into Christ, your Christology, your study of your personal knowledge of Christ from his word, must be deep, not shallow (Colossians 2:6-10).
