Holman Christian Standard Bible

 

Just like the satanic NIV, the new HCSB removes the critically important word “BEGOTTEN” turning the Scripture into a lie.
John 3:16
HCSB “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."
KJB John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Notice below that the King James Bible in John 1:12 says that God clearly has MANY sons, but only one BEGOTTEN Son (Jesus). Again, the NIV, HCSB and all modern versions attack and diminish the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (the truth that He is almighty God Who came in the flesh)...
KJB John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
If you are a born-again Christian, then you are an adopted son of God (see Romans 8:15). So Jesus is not God's ONLY Son. Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. The translators of the King James Bible had the wisdom to know this and distinguished between God's adopted sons verses God's only begotten Son. Jesus is the only BEGOTTEN son of God.
