The TRUTH ABOUT

The

GODHEAD. - Part Two.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth....
And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.” “All things were made by Him; and
without Him was not anything made that was made.”
Gen. 1:1,2; John 1:1,3.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness.” “So God created man in His own image, in the
image of God created He him; male and female created He
them.” Gen. 1:26,27.
“And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat
a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name
Seth.” Gen. 5:3.
CREATION. - “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of
the ground.” Gen.2:7.
To ‘create’, is to make or form something. God created
man with His own hands.
“I am the Lord that maketh all things, that stretcheth
forth the heavens alone, that spreadeth abroad the earth by
myself.” Isa. 44:24.
“For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that
are made, even His eternal power and Godhead.” Rom.1:20
Angels are also created beings. “All His angels, - - - For He
commanded and they were created.” Ps.148:2,5.
“Thou madest him (man) a little lower than the angels.”
Heb.2:7.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten
Son.” John 3:16.
JESUS is God; the “only Begotten Son” of God. He is not a
created being.
BEGOTTEN - Strong’s 3439. Only-born. ie. sole. Only
(begotten child.) (1096) – to cause to be (“gen”-erate), come
into being.
GEN - Webster’s Dictionary. 1. To bring into existence,
originate, produce. 4. To reproduce, procreate.
PROCREATE - Webster’s. 1. To beget or generate (off
spring). 2. To produce, bring into being. 3. To beget
offspring.
Simon Peter said to Jesus, “We believe and are sure that thou
art that Christ, the Son of the living God.” John 6:69.
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? 1 Jn.5:5.
A Son in every sense of the word? A son is begotten –
brought forth – not created.
“Christ always existed in the bosom of the Father, even
before He was Begotten as the Son of God, and God and His
prophets counted “things which are not,” as though they
were even before they were manifested. Thus we read that
Christ was “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the
world,” and that “Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and
without spot... was foreordained before the foundation of
the world, but was manifested in these last times.” So Christ
existed in the bosom of the Father from all eternity but was
manifested when He was begotten by the Father as His Son,
as the apostle Paul says, “before all creation.” “
