We were going over this recently in theology class. While God's word says "But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God..." (John 1:12), the S is not capital, and there is a differrence in meaning to us becoming a son and His only begotten Son.God does call us friends and sons, but not begotten. Begotten logical means 'came from', and so we notice within context of the whole truth, that Christ was the God-man, both God and man, and his mother Mary was not impregnanted by a man but the Holy Spirit, thus, Jesus did not inherit the sin nature of an earthly father as we do. That's a major point. God was his biological father and ours is an earthly man. Kim
