There has been an ongoing debate between myself and a SDA pastor about the proper meaning of the Greek word “monogenes.” He has claimed that its true meaning, one that it supposedly always meant up until the 4th century AD, is “only one of its kind, or unique.”
Hello brothers and sisters. I hope you had a wonderful Sabbath. Today I would like to share some thoughts on Psalm 2. I believe this chapter of Scripture is greatly misunderstood by many.
“The Eternal Father, the unchangeable one, GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, tore from his bosom HIM WHO WAS MADE IN THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, and sent him down to earth to reveal how greatly he loved mankind. {RH July 9, 1895, par. 13}
One of the key Bible verses over which there is disagreement in Adventism today is John 5:26. Let’s quote the verse. “For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself.”(John 5:26)
When he arose from the grave, he was quickened, not by the blood of Adam, BUT BY THE SPIRIT, THAT SELF-EXISTENT PRINCIPLE DERIVED FROM THE FATHER, BY WHICH HE HAD LIFE IN HIMSELF. “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but quickened by the spirit.” 1 Peter 3:18. {PREX1 17.2}

”The real question involved in this controversy is that of the Sonship of Christ. Is He God’s only begotten Son? The answer to this question is the answer to every other spiritual and moral question that can possibly arise.”
Jason explores Hebrews chapter 1 and sets forth some relevant points related to the relationship between God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.
In 1903, Ellen White wrote a letter to her sons, Edson and Willie, explaining that her two books, Patriarchs and Prophets and The Great Controversy, were especially adapted for those new to the faith of Seventh-day Adventists. She said these books had been written so that newcomers could become established in the truth, and not be led astray.
Yes, why do many find it so far-fetched that Jesus really is the Son of God born and brought forth from the Father? Why is this even considered such a great offense that it happens again and again all over the world that brothers and sisters who believe that, have been expelled from the Seventh-day Adventist church?

“It may be permitted us to stop briefly to inquire WHY LUCIFER WAS DENIED the honors conferred upon Christ, and which he so much coveted. THE TASK IS NOT DIFFICULT. The difference between Christ and Lucifer WAS AN ESSENTIAL ONE OF CHARACTER AND OF NATURE, and not of mere outward environment. CHRIST WAS GOD, THE ONLY-BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, full of grace and truth…”
Excerpt from The Present Truth December 22, 1898, Vol. 14, 51
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. This Divine Word appeared in the person of Jesus of Nazareth; for “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,” and John bore witness of Him, saying, “He that cometh after Me is preferred before me; for He was before me.'”
An excerpt from Signs of the Time, October 12, 1920
“Far back somewhere in the eternity of the past, before any of the worlds and suns now comprising the vast universe were created, before angels or men were brought into being, GOD, WHO HAD EXISTED FROM ALL ETERNITY, BROUGHT FORTH A SON. THIS SON WAS ‘THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE,” Colosians 1: 15.
