The usage of the word in John 3:16 implies this "pertaining to being the only one of its kind or class, unique in kind" if you look it up in the greek. Kinda neat huh? Jesus was the only One of His kind - the ONLY begotten Son. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will get you started using the concordance. I suggest, if you wish to dig deeper, you should purchase The Complete Word Study Dictionary. or something as detailed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the wonder of God’s eternal purpose ‘In Christ’. To birth many sons...Glory to His Name for His infinite generosity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the word begotten and also the word beget mean? it is interesting to look into. The meanings in the original language are not exactly the same. The Hebrew word basically means to give birth to or beget. In John that is a Greek word that means close to the same as to beget or be the father/mother of, but it also carries the distinction of the only one. So that single word is translated "only begotten" I don't know what materials you are using to read and look things up. On my desk top I have a rather expensive Bible Study program with all kinds of things you can use. On my phone and tablet for things of this matter I use a free program "My Sword" It has several different translations but one of the King James versions has the strongs numbers with it and one touch to see the meanings of the original language words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated above, the Greek word is monogenE - G3439 You should look up the meaning as it does not mean "resurrected from the dead". John alone uses monogenes to describe the relation of Jesus to God the Father, presenting Him as the unique one, the only one (monos) of a class or kind (genos), in the discussion of the relationship of the Son to the Father (John 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; 1 John 4:9) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESUS WAS NOT CREATED. Nobody is saying Jesus is a created being like we are. I don't see how you came up with that analysis from what has been said. Not matter, scripture is what is written. We can't change the meanings of a word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
