This discussion has been a lot of learning to me.

I am a little uneasy but this questin has been bugging me so long.  I
think this would be the best chance to take.  Is this question of mine
allowed? I hope it is within the boundary of b-Greek.


Seeing the same (? similar) expression used both for the believers and
the Son of God, such as in

1Jn 4:18a PAS hO GEGENNHMENOS EK TOU QEOU (every one having been born from God)

and 1Jn 4:18b  hO GENNHQEIS EK TOU QEOU (the One having been born from God),

what would be relation of the God and the Son of  God [=Christ] in
terms of GENNAW?  Can we say He (the Son) is begotten (= born) of God,
while He is not created by God [in orthodox thinking]?

[I am NOT referring to MONOGENOS.]
