Jesus was the Only Begotten Son of God. Nevertheless, Jesus is the Christ. So in context, it appears that when Jesus refers to the Only Begotten Son of God, he is referring to his role as the Christ. Thus, the Christ is the only begotten Son of God. Now, the term Son of God is often used in other contexts in the Bible. Thus, Jesus the CONSUMMATE or MOST COMPLETE AND PERFECT Son of God, but there are other people referred to as Sons of God. The natural conclusion: Buddha, Muhammad etc. were Christs? That is, they were all the only begotten Son of God, as they all have the role of the Christos [Anointed with the Spirit.] Thus, there are few perfect Christs, but Jesus was one; and there may be others. Your thoughts?
This is a respectful question so I would appreciate respectful answers. You do not need to agree with me, but please be polite, and I will show the same courtesy.
