Good grief, did anyone say Jesus was uniquely divine because of the Greek word monogenes? No of course not. Why some have so much difficulty cleaving to truth is beyond me.While Jesus is unique and He is divine, it's not because of the word μονογενής. Again.... If you insist, as you wrongly do, that it means "divine" in some way, then Isaac is divine as well as the boy in Luke 9.
58.52 μονογενής, ές: pertaining to what is unique in the sense of being the only one of the same kind or class—‘unique, only.’ τὸν υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν ‘he gave his only Son’ Jn 3:16; τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ ἀπέσταλκεν ὁ θεός ‘God sent his only Son’ 1 Jn 4:9; τὸν μονογενῆ προσέφερεν ὁ τὰς ἐπαγγελίας ἀναδεξάμενος ‘he who had received the promises presented his only son’ or ‘… was ready to offer his only son’ He 11:17. Abraham, of course, did have another son, Ishmael, and later sons by Keturah, but Isaac was a unique son in that he was a son born as the result of certain promises made by God. Accordingly, he could be called a μονογενής son, since he was the only one of his kind.
Johannes P. Louw and Eugene Albert Nida, Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament: Based on Semantic Domains (New York: United Bible Societies, 1996), 590.
The "deity" idea of John 1:14 comes from the phrase δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός which would be "glory as the unique Son from the Father." It does not come from μονογενής the word.
The Archangel
The word means "one of o kind" and is translated as "unique" in several English translations. The reason Jesus is unique is that He is divine.
Jesus is "one of a kind" because He is uniquely divine, God incarnate.
That is what I actually said. Why all this effort to find fault where none exists? Go figure!!
