ALL IS BEGOTTEN OF GOD

WE ARE ALL BEGOTTEN OF GOD Jesus Christ is called "God's only begotten son," among other many names, like master, Savior, etc., by certain of those who came later, much later, after his crucifixion, resurrection, and recasting of his teachings by his Roman crucifiers. Jesus Christ himself eschewed himself as being any such thing as even "good", much less as being anyone's master or savior. He knew only "God" as master, savior of all. People can and do modify anything or anyone after the fact of death, when they can no longer speak, for various nefarious purposes; even an obscure black man of Nazareth, (one of thousands crucified by the imperial Roman legions). Jesus Christ's own shaky disciples, male followers, had, after his arrest , trial, conviction, disclaimed, disowned, fled, or hid from him, for fear of their own lives . But Jesus' female followers stood by him and they sought his tomb, where they had laid him, under armed guards. The females also found him, spoke with him, ran and told the disciples that he had risen from the grave! The fact of Jesus' resurrection is a source of proof of hope for us all. For us all to be "joint heirs" with Jesus, as the Scriptures said that we are, we must all be "begotten," not just one man; indeed, we all must be divine, not just one man! Amen 🙏
