Wow, that holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.

Paul puts this teaching to be understood in Romans 1 1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures, 3concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; even Jesus Christ our Lord.

In Paul’s description - well, you can read it.

Take special care, as you should in all your readings how God is used and how Christ Jesus is used.

How can the Son of God be "in the beginning" (John 1.1) and yet originate in Bethlehem ~2,020 years ago?

How can Jesus be born in Bethlehem of Mary and then Paul claims in Acts 13.33 that Jesus was begotten of God via the resurrection?
