THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON VS. THE ONE AND ONLY SON
“Only begotten” comes from the Greek word “Monogenes,” which is understood to mean, “only
generated.” “Only generated” could mean “only son.” Neither of these phrases would lead one to think
that this refers to the beginning of Christ, as He testified to His spiritual preexistence before His birth,
when He said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). The Christian
consensus is that Christ has an eternal preexistence prior to being born as the only begotten Son of God,
and Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Most lexicons would interpret
Monogenes as meaning, “only,” and/or, “unique” (Greek-English Lexicon 2:1144). Another source
renders Monogenes as meaning, “one of a kind, only, and unique” (Vocabulary of the Greek New
Testament, 416-417). It was Jewish scholars, who translated the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) into
the Greek Septuagint, causing the Greek language to became the standard for most English versions of
the Bible, and likewise the New Testament comes to us from the Greek language. This writing is for the
advocacy of the phrase “the only begotten Son of God” because of the Bible’s record of other sons of
God, namely Adam son of God (Luke 3:38). This would logically preclude the phrase, “one and only Son
of God.” Any analogy to the contrary, including the one of Isaac and Ishmael, when the LORD said to
Abraham, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah...”
(Genesis 22:2). This is an analogy being made out of context to the biblical text. According to the
biblical record Abraham at this time has had two sons Ishmael and Isaac, however, Ishmael and his
mother were sent away. The fact is that the Bible tells us of the existence of other sons of God (Genesis
6:2-7; Job 1:6, 2:1). Therefore, the phrase, “One and only son of God” is to be considered less accurate
and misleading in the context of the Bible.
According to the Jews, the concept of monotheism is fundamental to understanding the God of
the Bible. The Jews have been “strict monotheists” since the Babylonian invasion of the kingdom of
Judah circa 605 B.C.. Nebuchadnezzar's capture of Jerusalem occurred in the spring of 598 BC. Be that
as it may, in this article touching on the subject of which is more correct, namely, whether it should be
stated in the New Testament, “The only begotten Son,” or “the one and only Son,” while maintaining
uniqueness. We will attempt to objectively look at different perspectives regarding the meaning of both
phases although not all of them. We acknowledge that there are many perspectives such as the
Unitarians, Modetarians (those who see monotheism according to Modalism, which is one God acting in
three different modes at different dispensations. For example, God the Father in the Old Testament, and
God the Son in the New Testament, and God as the Holy Ghost, after the death and resurrection of the
Son, and of course after His ascension into Heaven; therefore, the Holy Ghost is now God’s mode
expression in this present time. This is also known as Oneness Theology). We are not advocates of
Unitarianism or Modalism. There are the Monolatrians, who hold to Monolatry, meaning: The worship
of one God without denial of the existence of other gods, which is distinguished from the rest. The
apostle Paul gives credence to Monolatry with a Monolatrian statement regarding the existence of only
one God without denying the existence of other gods, for he writes, “For even if there are so-called
gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), yet for us there is one
God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord YAHSHUA the Christ, through
whom are all things, and through whom we live. However, there is not in everyone that knowledge...”
(1Corinthians 8:5-7a). Many scholars have come to believe that the early Israelites were Monolatrians
before the idea of strict Monotheism took its place after 605 BC.
There is henotheism, a religious system in which the believer worships one god without denying
that others may worship different gods with equal validity, but of course henotheism is not within the
realm of Judaeo-Christian thinking, and will not be considered as a perspective here.
Christian Monolatry is the worship of one God, as He is supreme, with all power, all sovereignty,
who the New Testament reveals to be the Son of God, because His God and Father gave all things to His
Son. Therefore it is written, “For to which of the angels did He ever say: ‘You are My Son, today I have
begotten You’?’
And again: ‘I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son’? But when He again brings the
firstborn into the world, He says: ‘Let all the angels of God worship Him” (Hebrews 1:5-6).
“But to the Son He says: Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated
lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your
companions.’
And: ‘You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of
Your hands’” (Hebrews 1:8-10). There is a lot being said here:
1. The Father recognizes the Son as one born into the world caused by Him, hence, “the only begotten
Son of God.” God says, “I will be to Him a Father, and He, YAHSHUA, will be to Me a Son” (verse 5).
This appears to be more about the realm of the world, then something that started in Heaven because
there, in Heaven, He is the Preeminent Son of God.
2. The angelic host here in this world are to worship Him (v. 6).
3. His throne will be set up here on earth, and He, YAHSHUA, will rule forever (v. 8).
4. The Son of God is anointed more than His companions, who accordingly, must be the sons of God.
Therefore, the Son of God, as we are told here on earth, “For the Lord your God (YAH) is God of gods
and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome... [Deuteronomy 10:17]. We are also told that our
God, YAHSHUA, has His God and Father (v. 9).
5. In Hebrews 1:10, the Father addresses the Son as LORD, that is YHWH. And the Father identifies
the Son as the creator. YAHSHUA in turn tells His people, “Thus says the LORD (YHWH), the King of
Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no
God. And who can proclaim as I do? Then let him declare it and set it in order for Me, since I
appointed the ancient people. And the things that are coming and shall come, let them show these to
them. Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My
witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one’” (Isaiah 44:6-8).
YAHSHUA, the Redeemer of Israel, is telling them He is the Rock. The apostle Paul identifies the Rock
as Christ our Lord YAHSHUA, for we read in 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I do not want
you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized
into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual
kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must
reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For ‘He
has put all things under His feet.’ But when He says ‘all things are put under Him,’ it is evident that He
who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son
Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. (1
Corinthians 15:20-28). The God of Israel who is the Son of God reveals His Father and God to His
disciples (John 1:18). The Son reveals the Father to humanity, and there is no way to the Father except
through the Son (John 14:6). Christian scholars and historians have argued that ancient Israel originally
practiced a form of monolatry, as found in Deuteronomy 10:17, “For the Lord your God is God of gods
and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome...” (Religion of Canaan, The Anchor Bible
Dictionary, six volumes, New York: Doubleday, 1992).
Christ acknowledged other gods with His reference to Psalm 82:6. These gods are the sons of
God, and do nothing except by the will of the Father, which is what the Savior as the Son of God has
Has told us. For we read, “Then YAHSHUA answered and said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, the
Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does
in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He
will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and
gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has
committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who
does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who
hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment,
but has passed from death into life. Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when
the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in
Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute
judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all
who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the
resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. I can of Myself
do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the
will of the Father who sent Me” (John 5:19-30).
YAHSHUA said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to
My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your
God’” (John 20:17). This statement alone proves that God is not Triune, nor is Oneness Theology true.
The phrase “only begotten Son” occurs in John 3:16, which occurs in certain other Bible English
versions, as it reads in the King James Version: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The phrase
"only begotten Son" translates from the Greek word monogenes. Monogenes is also translated into other
English versions of the Bible as "one and only Son,” (Holmes Christian Standard Bible, HCSB). It’s this
last phrase ("only begotten" used in the KJV, NASB and the NKJV) that causes problems for Trinitarians.
There seems to be a debate between Unitarians, who are labeled by Trinitarians as “False teachers,”
because they, the Unitarians, have latched onto this phrase to try to prove their teaching that Christ isn’t
God, which is to say, that He is not equal in essence to the Father as the Second Person of the Trinity,
and also not equal in essence to the Holy Ghost. They, the Unitarians, see the word "begotten" and say
that Christ is a created being because only someone who had a beginning in time can be "begotten." The
Trinitarians say that the Unitarians’ position fails to note that "begotten" is an English translation of a
Greek word “monogenes.” And further, the Trinitarians state, “We have to look at the original meaning
of the Greek word, and not to transfer English meanings onto the text.”
The Trinitarian Perspective
So what does monogenes mean? According to the Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament,
monogenes has two primary definitions. The first definition is "pertaining to being the only one of its
kind within a specific relationship." This is its meaning in Hebrews 11:17, when the writer refers to Isaac
as Abraham’s "only begotten son" (KJV). Abraham had more than one son, but Isaac was the only son
he had by Sarah and the only begotten son to receive inheritance of all that Abraham had, which
included the promises, known as the covenant. Therefore, it is the uniqueness of Isaac among the other
sons that allows for the use of monogenes in that context, for only Isaac was identified as the son of
inheritance as opposed to Ishmael, who was sent away. The second definition is "pertaining to being the
only one of its kind or class, unique in kind." The Trinitarians state, “This is the meaning that is implied
in John 3:16 (see also John 1:14, 18; 3:18; 1 John 4:9).” The Trinitarians by implication and
presupposition hold that John was primarily concerned with demonstrating that the Messiah is the Son
of God (John 20:31), and he uses monogenes to highlight that He is uniquely God’s Son, which
according to them means sharing the same divine nature as God—as opposed to believers who are God’s
sons and daughters by adoption (Ephesians 1:5). {Therefore they believe He is God’s “one and only” Son.
Who, after reading this, would not think that Trinitarians think in terms of paradoxes and confusion.}
Ultimately, the terms of "Father" and "Son," along with “Holy Ghost are equally descriptive of
God from a Trinitarian prospective, which of course are human terms that help us understand the
relationship between the different Persons of the Trinity. If you can understand the relationship between
a human father and a human son, then you can understand, in part, the relationship between the First
and Second Persons of the Trinity. The analogy breaks down, however, if you try to take it too far and
teach, as some Churches (Pentecostal, Apostolic, Christadelphians), that Christ had His beginning and
was literally "begotten" as in “produced,” or “created,” by God the Father at Christ’s birth, and this is
their reasoning despite what the Son of God tells us that, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham
was, I AM” (John 8:58).
Logically, if Adam at the time he was created was the son of God as stated in Luke 3:38, then how can
Christ be the one and only Son of God? How can anyone not believe the New Testament affirmations of
the Son of God’s preexistence? The Apostle Paul tells us in his first letter to the church in Corinth, “The
first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come
first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second
man from heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the Man from
heaven, so also are those who are of Heaven. And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man,
so shall we bear the likeness of the Man from Heaven” (1 Corinthians 15:45-49).
Paul is here pointing out the difference between two kinds of bodies, i.e., the natural and the
spiritual. Genesis 2:7 speaks of the first man, Adam, becoming a living person. Adam was made from
the dust of the ground and given the breath of life from God (i.e. enlivened spiritually the physical
body). Every human being since that time shares the same characteristics of Adam since he is the
source of all human life, which is why Adam, son of God, as a man is in the image of God, who is the
source of all life. However, the last Adam or the “second Adam”—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit.
Just as Adam was the first of the human race, so Christ, Preeminent Son of God, is the first of those who
will be raised from the dead to eternal life. Because Christ rose from the dead, He is “a life-giving spirit”
Who allows the children of Adam to enter into a new form of existence. He is the source of the spiritual
life that will result in the believers' resurrection. Christ’s new glorified human body now suits His new,
glorified, spiritual life—just as Adam’s human body was suitable to his natural earthly life. When
believers are resurrected, God will give them transformed eternal bodies suited to eternal life. Paul tells
us in verse 46 that the natural came first and after that the spiritual. People have natural life first; that is,
they are born into this earth and live here. Only from there do they then obtain spiritual life. Paul is
telling us that the natural man, Adam, came first on this earth and was made from the dust of the earth.
While it is true that Christ has existed from eternity past, He is here called the second Adam, the only
begotten Son of God, because He came from heaven to earth many years after Adam. Christ came as a
human baby with a body like all other humans, but He did not originate from the dust of the earth as
had Adam. He “came from heaven.” The good news is that the earthly sons of Adam can know with
certainty that their heavenly bodies will be just like Christ’s—imperishable, eternal, glorious, and filled
with power. At this time, sons of Adam are like Adam; one day, all will be like Christ (Philippians 3:21).
The Apostle John wrote to the believers, “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be
has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall
see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2). The comparison between Adam and YAHSHUA is clearly described in the
New Testament. Adam, son of God (Luke 3:38), was created from the red earth (Adamah), however,
YAHSHUA, Preeminent Son of God, was the only begotten Son of God born on this planet. One son
created from the dust, and One Son from Heaven by came here by way of birth, hence: The only
begotten Son of God.
What is the issue of calling YAHSHUA the Messiah, “God’s one and only Son” versus “God’s only
begotten Son”? Most often we think “God’s only begotten Son” in Christian preaching and literature.
Now, many times we hear, “God’s only and one Son.” To many this is insignificant, however, it is a
serious problem. It communicates a major doctrinal error we must expose and correct!
The phrase “only begotten” is based on the Greek word monogenes, which literally means, “only
generated.” It appears six times in the King James Bible (John 1:14, John 1:18, John 3:16, John 3:18,
Hebrews 11:17, and 1 John 4:9).
The one in Hebrews is about Isaac; the other five refer to YAHSHUA the Messiah. We will look
briefly at those verses now:
1. John 1:14, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
2. John 1:18, “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of
the Father, He hath declared him.”
3. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
4 John 3:18, “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
5. Hebrews 11:17, “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received
the promises offered up his only begotten son,”
6. 1 John 4:9, “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only
begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
The New International Version (NIV) completely eliminates “begotten” from the above verses. It
says “God’s one and only Son.” The same is true of other popular modern translations—English Standard
Version (ESV), Contemporary English Version (CEV), Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), The
Message (MSG), New Living Translation (NLT), Revised Standard Version (RSV), New Revised Standard
Version (NRSV), and New American (Catholic) Bible (NAB), however, there are Bibles that keep “only
begotten Son,” such as the New American Standard Bible (NASB), New King James Version (NKJV), and
American Standard Version (ASV). Although, in John 1:18, the NASB has the phrase “only begotten
God” rather than “only begotten Son,” and thereby, according to the Trinitarians are supporting the
ancient Arian heresy that YAHSHUA was “created God!”
Why not call the Lord YAHSHUA “God’s one and only Son?” Because this is technically incorrect
to call YAHSHUA “God’s one and only Son.” God has many sons according to the Bible no matter what
version you use. For example, “the sons of God” in Job 38:7. Adam, the first man, being a direct creation
of God, is called “the son of God” in Luke 3:38. In John 1:12, we read about those who by faith became
“the sons of God.” In the Body of Christ believers are called “the sons of God” (Romans 8:14). It should
not surprise one that God has millions of “sons.” It is therefore unbiblical when so-called “educated”
Bible translators call the Christ “God’s one and only Son.” They are contradicting these verses.
Begotten typically is to be of a man (father), who brings a child into existence. In the case of our
Savior, He was begotten by the power of God’s Holy Spirit. Begotten is to be of the Father, as it is a
father begat a son or daughter. Why is the term “begotten” so important? Why should we use the New
King James Bible and other Bible versions with the expression, “the only begotten Son of God?”
“Begotten” is representative of uniqueness; thus, to eliminate it is to diminish Christ’s special status as
“begotten,” which makes more sense in the Gospel. It is the Gospel that reveals Christ as the second
Adam. Adam was a unique son of God being created from the dust of the ground, and our Savior was
the only Son of God, who was “begotten,” which is to say “born,” here on earth in a vary unique sense.
Why else is “begotten” so important when referring to Him? “Begat” means “to give life to.” The first 16
verses of Matthew chapter 1 easily demonstrate this. You can read about numerous men fathering, as in
to (begat) sons. For example, verse 2 says: “Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob
begat Judas and his brethren....” This verb “begat” is related to the adjective “begotten.”
When the King James Bible calls Christ “God’s only begotten Son” in the book of John 1, it links
back to an Old Testament concept found in Psalms. If we remove “begotten,” as the modern English
versions have done, then we lose the connection to Psalm 2:7, which says: “I will declare the decree: the
LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.” Now, when did Christ
become the “only begotten Son of God?” When was Psalm 2:7 fulfilled? The common assumption is
when He was born in Bethlehem of Judaea. However, the Bible teaches something else. Acts 13:33-34
makes the truth quite plain: “God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that He hath raised
up YAHSHUA again; as it is also written in the second psalm, “Thou art my Son, this day have I
begotten thee. And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to
corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.” According to the Apostle
Paul, led by the Holy Spirit to preach Acts 13:33-34, Psalm 2:7 is properly interpreted as being fulfilled at
Christ’s resurrection. It was at the resurrection that Father God gave YAHSHUA.
Hebrews 5:5: “So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him,
Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten” (According to the writer of the Book of Hebrews, Father God
resurrected Jesus in order to ordain Him as Israel’s high priest.) Revelation 1:5: “And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood....” (The expression “first begotten
of the dead” again tells us that “begotten” is connected to resurrection. “First begotten” is defined even
further in Colossians 1:18, “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”
CONCLUSION
Father God has many sons, but He has one “only begotten Son.” As Christ was the only begotten son of
God, who was born a Son of God. It is therefore incorrect to call YAHSHUA “God’s one and only Son” as
some modern English versions do. The Lord YAHSHUA HaMachiach is rightly called in the King James
Bible, “the only begotten Son of God.” YAHSHUA is the first son that Father God has raised from the
dead: He is the “firstborn from the dead” and “first begotten of the dead” in the sense that there are
more sons to follow Him in resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:23). The impression that there is a popular
false teaching going around in many churches that claims that Christ was “the one and only son of God”
and that is NOT what the Bible says. From a purely Trinitarian standpoint, God is comprised of three
unique personalities known as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. Therefore, the
Savior is the only Son within the Trinity of God. But that does not mean there are not other sons of God
in His family. In fact preaching one son of God only is not even close to what God says in the His
Word. Are you ready to learn the truth and see what God actually wrote us in the Bible? This false
belief that Christ was “the one and only son of God” has even crept into several modern Bible
translations and thus it appears to be legitimate, more than it truly is. Many Christians will read this
erroneous statement in modern Bible translations and think this is what God really said; but they have
to first ignore the entire Bible, and second the details of the correct writings of God in the original
language. This false teaching is destroying the truth to project an image that there are no other sons of
God except for Christ.
Every translation produced by human endeavor introduces some new version of the personal
opinions of the translators that must be weeded through in order to find God’s intended accurate truth.
This truth will be potentially discarded simply because people do not seek to learn, know, or understand
what God actually says beyond their own church community or personal beliefs and opinions. Both the
KJV and the NIV translations cannot be correct since they simply mean two completely different things.
The “One and Only Son of God” and the “Only Begotten Son of God” cannot be considered identical
because one set of modern translations completely left out one of the most important words “begotten”
when the other set included it. The NIV further causes convolution of the truth by adding the word
“One” before Son and this just brings further confusion since the word “one” does not even appear
anywhere in the original Greek language of the New Testament!
Let us consider the English grammar found within John 3:16. What does the term “only
begotten” represent and how does it relate to the “Son”? When only one exists the need for qualification
is eliminated. Those who agree with the NIV, will point out that God calls Isaac the “only begotten” of
Abraham; but that too is a major problem since Abraham had several other children. The first born of
Abraham was a child named Ishmael and this child was born from Hagar, however, God does not
consider this child to be an heir of promise. Also in Genesis, we discover that Abraham had other
children later after Isaac. Yet God still calls Isaac the “only begotten”. What this teaches us is that God
could have had other children before Christ and He well have other children (us) after Christ and that
the existence of these other children still cannot disqualify the Savior to be called the “only begotten”.
This is potentially complex information, therefore, we need to be consistent when viewing this Greek
G3439. I believe we can clearly see that every time it is selected by God in the New Testament that it is
in reference to an “only born” child in reference to a single parent. You can go through every reference
in Luke and see this very clearly. You can find this pattern again in Hebrews when God only speaks
about Abraham and his only begotten son Isaac. Consistency is an important factor.
In the book of Job, God again describes the “sons (H1121) of God (H430)” but this time using
some new contextual realities. The previous Genesis 6 setting was definitely set upon the earth with
human female interaction with the sons of God; but this time in Job this same type of beings are found
to be in the very presence of God in Heaven. What type of beings can be found both here on the earth
and up in Heaven in the presence of God?
Do you believe in the name of YAHSHUA? Have you received YAHSHUA as your Savior? If you
have done both of these then you qualify to be called a son/child of God, “Nor is there salvation in any
other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved,” as spoken
by the apostle Peter, who never knew of the name of YAHSHUA. Now consider what else this verse says.
This verse clearly indicates that we were once not His child but have become this son by God’s plan of
salvation. The true name of Salvation is YAHSHUA, for you must believe in the one name given under
heaven by which we must be saved. The Gospel in short is: “For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might
be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). It is one thing
to accept the name of YAHSHUA, not knowing that God never revealed that name, and it is not the true name
by which you must be saved, but it is another thing for truth to come your way only to reject that truth,
as it were when the true name of salvation was made known to you, and you rejected the true revealed
name of salvation, and this rejection caused you to remain in condemnation. Receive the name of
YAHSHUA and you shall be saved! Halleluyah, Praise YAH, Praise YAHSHUA!
