The Final Trial: Jesus Christ begotten of the Father - not made

The Final Trial: Jesus Christ begotten of the Father - not made

Concerning Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit spoke through John about Him this way:

Gospel (Injil) of John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. 14 And the Word was made flesh

Baruch Ahiyah asher Ahiyah Most Holy Angelic Son Almighty Counselor uncreated Light of Your Shekinah glory Pillar of Cloud Pillar of Fire firmness of the Rock the Lion of Juda the Root the Offspring of David the Bright and the Morning Star Only Begotten Lamb of God First Born from the dead in the flesh Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour the head over Your body Whom each of us holds directly seated at the Father's right hand in the Unity and Power and Bond of Love of the Holy Spirit our Paraclete

Jesus Christ is the Word of God as both Islam and Christian faith proclaim. He was not made but existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit before all things that were created, made by God. This is His begotten of the Father before all ages (engendered of the same essence by the Father) but never begotten by man, that is by human generation.

14 And the Word was made flesh – means that the pre-existent Word of God was never created but always existing with the Father and the Holy Spirit – that He took upon himself flesh in His Kenosis from the blessed virgin Mary.

He was conceived in blessed Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of her upon earth, He died and rose again and ascended to heaven at the Father's right hand seated in power and glory. He shall come again at His Parousia to raise all people and judge them all.

See labels: God and begotten and Holy Spirit and Word of God

Gospel (Injil) of John 8:58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, that before Awraham [Abraham] existed to you I say truly truly Yeshua and Yeshua – Yahweh and The Word Jesus Christ, God and His Son Jesus Christ – the I AM, The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit together God pre-existent before they created everything else. This is the Declaration by Jesus Christ Himself that He is God.


The Catholic Creed: God, His Infinite Existence and Governing Presence in His creation and His forgiveness of sin

The Catholic Creed: The Creed of the Whole and Undivided Church as Given by the Apostles

BOOK I CHAP. X. - UNITY OF THE FAITH OF THE CHURCH

THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD. { note that St. Irenaeus is the first to record the creed later called the apostles creed – with a lot more than we usually see }

I. The Church: all true Loving Catholic Apostolic Orthodox true brethren and benefactors each of us holding You Christ Jesus Our Only Lord and Saviour the Head directly, though dispersed throughout the whole world, even to the ends of the earth, has received from the apostles and their disciples this faith; in one God, the Father Almighty, Creator, Framer, Maker of heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them; and in one Christ Jesus, the Son of God, who became incarnate for our salvation; and in the Holy Spirit, who proclaimed through the prophets the dispensations of God, and the advents and the birth from a virgin, and the passion and the resurrection from the dead, and the ascension into heaven in the flesh of the beloved Christ Jesus, our Lord, and His [future] parousia from heaven in the same flesh in which he suffered, in the glory of the Father, “to gather all things in one,” and to raise up anew all flesh of the whole human race, in order that to Christ Jesus, our Lord, and God, and Saviour, and King, according to the will of the invisible Father, “every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess” to Him, and that He should execute just judgment towards all; that He may send spiritual wickednesses,” and the angels who transgressed and became apostates, together with the ungodly, and unrighteous, and wicked, and profane among men, into everlasting fire but may, in the exercise of His grace, confer immortality on the righteous, and holy, and those who have kept His commandments, and have persevered in His love, some from the beginning of their Christian course and others from their repentance, and may surround them with everlasting glory.

2. As I have already observed, the Church,

having received this preaching and this faith, although scattered throughout the whole world, yet, as if occupying but one house, carefully, preserves it. She also believes these points of doctrine just as if she had but one soul, and one and the same heart, and she proclaims them, and teaches them, and hands them down, with perfect harmony, as if she possessed only one mouth. For, although the languages of the world are dissimilar, yet the import of the tradition is one and the same. For the Churches which have been planted in Germany do not believe or hand down anything different, nor do those in Spain, nor those in Gaul, nor those in the East, nor those in Egypt, nor those in Libya, nor those which have been established in the central regions of the world { Jerusalem, the mother of all the Churches is here referred to }. But as the sun, that creature of God, is one and the same throughout the whole world, so also the preaching of the truth shineth everywhere, and enlightens all men that are willing to come to a knowledge of the truth. Nor will anyone of, the rulers in the Churches, however highly gifted he may be in point of eloquence, teach doctrines different from these (for no one is greater than the Master); nor, on the other hand, will he who is deficient in power of expression inflict injury on the tradition. For the faith being ever one and the same, neither does one who is able at great length to discourse regarding it, make any addition to it, nor does one, who can say but little, diminish it.

3 It does not follow because men are endowed

with greater and less degrees of intelligence, that they should therefore change the subject-matter of the faith itself, and should conceive of some other God, besides Him who is the Creator, Framer, Maker, and Preserver of this universe ( as if He were not sufficient for them ), or of another Christ, or another Only-begotten.

…while the Catholic Church possesses one and the same faith throughout the whole world, as we have already said.

( Concerning how we act towards heretics – the evolutionary Gnostics )

From all such persons, therefore, it behoves us to keep aloof,…but to adhere to…the doctrine of the Apostles.
