Quote:Bismillah:
How did you come with this Definition? According to the KJV dictionary of the Bible the word <i>begotten</i> means <b>"To have born; brought forth"</b> which is the opposite of Uncreated, because Uncreated means eternal, and being born is contradictory to the term eternal, so the word begotten can never mean uncreated.

Oh really, Mr wel_mel_2??? I hate to use Islamic revelations to convict you but doesn't the Qur'an say Allah "begets not"???
''Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
<b>He begetteth not</b>, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him. '' The Qur'an 112
How can "beget" be the opposite of "uncreated"??? Are you trying to say that Allah doesn't create???
I don't have a problem with the term "born" so long as it's used properly... <i>eternally born of the Father</i>.
Perhaps you should only refer to the KJV version when conversing with Christians who read/study it. I certainly wouldn't ask a Shiite about the Sunni tradition. Please don't get me wrong, I love my Protestant brethren with all my heart but unfortunately we don't see eye to eye on a lot of doctrines :(
Take care & God bless.
