Only begotten is also translated the one authentic.
Jesus also said, "Before Abraham was, I am." This really ticked off the Jewish leaders as they knew that God told Moses, "Tell them I Am has sent you." God is the I Am and Jesus showed His equality with the Father in this statement. He also forgave sins - something only the Father can do. He was also part of Creation..."Let Us make man..." He also "saw Satan fall". He showed equality with the Father and His eternal existence.
Part of your definition - effect, generate. Could God not generate a person out of part of His personality? He is God, after all.
Jesus knew exactly Who He was on this earth. He came having "made himself for a little while, lower than the angels." God came to earth to live as man, so that we could better identify with Him, to teach us and show us that there is a better way to life. He died as the ultimate sacrifice. This was His ultimate reason for coming, to die that we might live.

Let's take John 3:16. It's the King James Version that translate the Greek with the words 'his only begotten Son.' Those who consider this correct rendering usually bind that up with the Incarnation itself, that is, his beginning in the Virgin Mary. But in fact, that is not what word in Greek means. It really means 'unique one.' The way it was usually used in the first century is unique and beloved Son, or as the New International Version translates it, 'the one and only Son,' rather than saying that he's ontologically begotten in time.

those Who don´t believe in Him the Father almighty. thou art thy Son and the holy spirit, as the conclusion what Jesus words in holy Bible are not with Him. those sect which brainwashed some dull people they are after only power, identity and money. they aren't read the whole story of God and God Jesus preaching. the priest read the bible in 12 years before they could be a priest in the Catholic church. while others they just read the line in the bible that they could criticise the catholic religion´s teaching. may God forgive them those who believed to those fake prophet.
Source(s): the born again. the Iglesia ni Cristo they are tha among one of the sect who are the sinners which Manalo´s family built all overis philippines. Manalo who I called as the bible said he is one of the fake prophet. And these prophet are those who realy eager read the bible to somebody, so they could brainwash them. Read the bible your self if you couldn´t just pray to God. Don´t allow them to read themselves to you because they will just need your money every thursday and sunday except some others contributions. May Manalo burns in the Hell now. he is the fake prophet who really know to brainwash those weaked peolpe buy using the bible in philippinesor some who wanted wants an identity. - How do you think about the answers?

On one hand..........I can appreciate your question , as the whole God thing is bigger than all the Star Wars movies put together
on the other hand......try starting with the claims Jesus made for Himself
He came, on time, in fulfillment of prophecy, and in His time, yes, He acknowledged He was in fact God (John 8)
Religion is mans attempt to reach GOD
Jesus Christ is God's attempt to reach man
What will you do with the claims of Jesus called the Christ ?

Not sure what your question is, but YES, if you're asking if Jesus was God , in my opinion yes, Jesus was God made man! I don't know of any other being in all of history who could walk on water, or heal sick, or raise dead people, or speak to the Almighty God as Jesus did?
Jesus was God on Earth. God knew man would not be able to accept him as a Supernatural being on earth. As it is now, man cannot accept God as our Father and creator, so God knew man would never be able to comprehend God on Earth as the Entity he is . So he form a life as His Son , Jesus the Christ to represent him on Earth
Easy for me to assess!

Jesus created everything. What man do you know can create the Earth and all that is in it?
John 1
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.
14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[d] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

God eternally thinks about Himself, this process generates a thought, we him the Son.
We call the "thinker", God the Father.
We call the "thought" God the Son (Jesus)
The Son is everything that the Father knows about Himself, all his perfections.

Your looking at Man's definition. Please, keep in mind that Man translated what was written down by man 100's of years ago, as it was inspired by God.
That's a pretty tough task.
If you Have the Holy Spirit, you'll at least try and see it the right way.
And I agree with Cajun Boy!

When Jesus refered to himself as the son of God.
Well we are all sons of God.
In the bible it says "Ye are all Gods children of the most high.
So I dont think Jesus is the son of God.
