The general use (and dictionary meaning) of the word ‘beget’ (and its variants) is with specific reference to procreation, as we saw earlier in the genealogical account in Matthew’s gospel. However, it does not mean that every time a person is born, a fresh ‘creation’ takes place! Every living person is already ‘in the loins’ of the original Adam. Every person has his human existence only because the seed of life, already in Adam, is passed on, through succeeding generations, in the life of a ‘new person’. God created man only once, putting within him the seed of life, which is then transmitted in the procreative process (which of course involves a sexual union of male and female). If God had not provided for life to be propagated in this way (that is, by transference of life from one living being to another) then every living individual must necessarily draw his existence as Adam did, from a direct creation by God alone.
