    Chapter 1 of John is where Scripture makes it very clear. I don't think anyone is questioning the Holy Spirit on either thread. Just man's translation of μονογενες. I have never interacted with one that has used the KJV as their starting place. The ones I have spoke with in Western Kentucky...

    That would be the historical orthodox view of the English phrase "only-begotten". That is not how enemies of the faith read that phrase. Regardless of if one says, "only-begotten" or "unique"....to not read this word in light of the incarnation will lead to a heresy. Sent from my...

    This sentence is foggy best. This is an example of how we do not clear convey who Jesus is. You just said Jesus has an origin. You did not specify spiritual, or physical. To a Muslim you just contradicted youself within 1 sentence. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    I think it is clearer to say that it opens Jesus up to being a created "g"od. Certainly this is how we see cults using the term, as that fits with English usage. Granted, an orthodox Christian will never read "only-begotten" that way. Though I have seen several, even after a profession of...

    You say "begotten"....I will just use "μονογενες" since we translate it a different way. When John uses μονογενες (unique or "only begotten"), it is referring to Jesus after the incarnation. Jesus was not μονογενες until that point. It is putting on flesh that made Him completely "unique"...

    There is other things a company can use their money for other than make other language translations and not be "simply in it for the money." Crossway, publisher of the ESV, has used it's profits to do the following. offered the ESV Bible for free online and via mobile apps, with tens of...

    I think it is clear he is stating what I have in the past. Jesus is "unique" among all beings. Even within the Godhead. In the incarnation Jesus became μονογενες. No one is like Him. Not even the Father. Jesus is unique among all. I believe this is the meaning of John's usage in John chapter 1...

    The Latin influence on the KJV and therefore on future English translations is great. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Beth Moore

    She would never admit that, but she is the queen of saying things and then following it up with things like, "I am just conveying the opinions of others that should be considered". As she does when called out by Al Mohler. She was called out on a direct promotion of egalitarianism....and her...

    Of course one was saying Paul is Jesus equal. They were saying all Scripture is equally authoritative and inerrant....which lead to these tweets. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    She will say Paul is authoritative...but Jesus is more authoritative and he trumps Paul. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    While that Tweet is nearly a year old she hasn't got better. As a church we have prohibited any Beth Moore materials for church use and recommend agaisnt anyone using it for personal use. She will not be happy until the SBC is split or the SBC caves to egalitarianism, and intersectionality...

    Favorite Study bible, and why?

    The NKJV and ESV are both great translations. One should pick between the two based on underlying Greek preferences. If you are a TR fan, you made the right choice with the NKJV. Fantastic version. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Regarding Romans 3:25 ...

    Dr. Schreiner deeply cares about the word of God and would do nothing intentionally that would alter God's word. I am looking forward to the revisions coming out in the small update to the CSB. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Regarding Romans 3:25 ...

    Pretty much. I think the NIV and others did what they did not in order to water down the word, but make it understandable....I don't agree with their choice....get out a dictionary people....but I don't not assign malicious intent to their actions. They wanted their words to be understood...

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    I am "only of kind" or "unique" preferred....not onlyism. Hahaha However I do think the μονογενες is much better served with a rendering of "unique one". I have not ran across one example of Greek were "only begotten" is merited. I do not accept the Latin as an argument or conjecture from...
