Two questions ...
1. What does it mean (to you) that Yeshua is God's only begotten son?

2. Why do you believe that the begetting of Yeshua occurred at his baptism (i.e. what supports this belief for you) ?
Before I answer these and since I've already answered a couple of your previous questions. What are your views concerning pre-existence of Messiah?

Okay, ... but, while I pull this together, ... may I present, ... for your consideration, the following question as well ?

How do you interpret the following passage ?
Matthew 12:1-13

1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.

2 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.

3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?

5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?

6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple

7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
When Yeshua says that “ … in this place is one greater than the temple,” … who do you believe that he is referring to ?

When Yeshua says that “ … the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day,” … who do you believe that he is referring to ?

I agree. My beloved Messiah is greater than the temple. Does that make Him God? No.

To himself. The Son of man. Lord is equivilant to master. This verse does nothing to make Him God either.
