The only Greek text I can find reads like this.
John 1:18 ...the only begotten God (Theos)..
**John 1:18 ...the only begotten God (Theos)..**
Does your source say “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten God..”? (Jn 3:16)
Think about it.....’begotten God’.......
There is a reason that Jesus Christ and his apostles only used the phrase ‘the Son of God’.
Apparently the staff (most likely trinitarians) that put together the KJV, worded it as closely to the Greek as they could. It was a seven year project, I’m told, so they probably used every source they could find.
They saw fit to use the phrase ‘Son of God’ over 40 times, and not use the phrase ‘God the Son’ even once.
Proves to me that God preserves his word, whether it’s ravens, widows, RC ‘church fathers’, a King James committee, etc.
