shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Just for the record, we would want to point out that Biola has never looked at the national origin of any individual or on the color of his skin as far as enrollment in our College or Talbot Theological Seminary. The only prerequisite on a non-academic basis, is a per sonal knowledge of Jesus Christ as Saviour. Q. San Diego, Calif. " Why do some modern translators leave out 'be gotten' from John 3:16? What does the word really mean?" A. It is true that a number of mod ern translations leave out the word. "Only begotten" happens to be one compound word in the Creek. If this is left out the reading becomes "His only Son." Some people might see a potential con tradiction in the fact that we also are called "sons of Cod." "Begot ten," for a literal translation should be included. It actually means "the eternal generation of the Son." This refers to the idea that where there is a Father mentioned in the Bible there is a correlative idea leading us to know that there must also be a Son. But this is an eternal generation. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in a way totally abstracted from all earthly considerations, is completely unique. For avoidance of confusion the words as they appear in the King James Version's "only begotten Son" cannot be im proved upon. Q . Nampa, Idaho. "Romans 8 seems to say that nothing can sep arate us from the love of God. I have been taught, however, that we can separate ourselves from His love. Can you help me?"
