It depends on how one defines "created" or "begotten." God creates revealtion via His Word. But the revelation of His Son as a human being was a unique "creation." It did not mean he was only part of creation, but he was made a part of creation out of a divine revelation--one that emerged from eternity, from God Himself. He was a revelation of God's Person in the form of a human person.
I lead a Bible study on Thursday nights. Last night we were in Mark Chapter 2. Here is part of that chapter:
2 "And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion". (Mark 2: 2-12)
Please note these things:
1. V. 5 Jesus tells the man his sins are forgiven him.
2. V. 6 The scribes were "reasoning in their hearts" and asking themselves "who can forgive sins but God only?"
3. V. 8 Jesus "perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned"----Matthew 9 says "Jesus, knowing their thoughts".
4. V. 9-10 Jesus asks them if it is easier to forgive sins, or to heal the man? Then he says "but that ye may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the sick of the palsy "arise, take up your bed and walk". And the man was immediately healed.
Many on this board say Jesus is NOT GOD. True---Jesus never says "I am God". But read these verses again carefully and you will see that Jesus is indeed saying to the Scribes "I am God" by doing what he DOES.
Only God can forgive sins and the Scribes knew it. They asked within themselves "Who can forgive sins but God alone?" These two things should give us pause to immediately know that Jesus is God. But then we read that Jesus "knew their thoughts". Can ANY created being read anyone else's thoughts? Not even Satan can read our minds!!
When Jesus reads their minds and then asks which is easier to do: forgive sins or do a miracle, he is actually telling them "I am God". There are many, many places in the New Testament which clearly show us that Jesus is God. This is just one of them.
By the way, I am replying to a post because I do not know how to create a NEW post in this thread. lol
