Begotten Son of God
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. 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.
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. 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, 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.
“All To The Glory of GOD” 1 COR. 10:31
Preface: At eighty years young, I write this article as a Scientist and as a Theologian. I was first trained as a Scientist. With a degree in Biology and an area in The Sciences, I spent the next nine years teaching, doing Medical Research, and participating in several Science related Fellowship Programs at a total of five different Universities. Yes, I was subjected to all of the propaganda of the so-called “evolutionary science.” It took me several years to “sort it all out” and resolve the issues to my satisfaction.
After serving for 20 years as a Deacon, Chair of The Deacon Board, and lay Minister; I surrendered to be Christ’s “minister" when HE said to me, “Gil, I want you to be MY MINISTER.” I was ordained by The Fort Mitchell Baptist Church in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky and immediately began a second career as a Bi-Vocational Pastor that lasted for 20 years. In 1991 THE LORD called Jan (My wife) and me into a Ministry of Proclaiming The Good News of The Gospel of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ over three radio stations reaching into portions of four states. As I write this article, we are in our 29th year of proclaiming THE GOSPEL MESSAGE 24 hours of every day through the Spoken Word and Song.
Many years ago I determined in my heart and mind to believe The Holy Bible as The DEVINELY INSPIRED, “GOD BREATHED” WORD OF GOD. An honest reading and study of The Bible leads to this conclusion. Trained as a Scientist, I sought (and still seek) a logical, scientific approach to all things. I have determined that GOD’S THOUGHTS (AND HIS THINKING/REASONING) ARE SO FAR ABOVE OURS THAT THERE ARE SUBJECTS THAT WE WILL NEVER COMPREHEND THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN. es, we will one day understand all things, just as GOD UNDERSTANDS them. That will happen when HE has COMPLETED HIS WORK ON AND IN US TO CONFORM US TO THE IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST. As The Holy Spirit states in Philippians 3:20-21, For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory,by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.” (NASU)
GOD does not expect us to “UNDERSTAND" everything at this earthly stage of our existence. In fact, GOD clearly states in Hebrews 11:6, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." (NASU) GOD is far more pleased when we TRUST HIM and HIS WORD by FAITH. I therefore choose to HAVE FAITH IN GOD AND HIS WORD. When The Bible states things that are currently beyond my (our) human ability to understand at this point in time, I then choose to believe by Faith in GOD and HIS WORD. Again, this is a decision each of us must make for ourselves.

"For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
