PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Length: 10 Minutes

The fact that the Bible speaks of “the only begotten” Son of God (John 1:14, 18, etc.), has troubled some Christians. This is because such a statement could be taken to mean that the Son was begotten at a certain point, rather than being the eternal God who has always existed. However, when we look at this statement in the context of John 1, the meaning is clear: He never needed to come into existence by being begotten, for He always has existed as the only-begotten Son of God.
