General Unitarian Use of Psalm 2:7

[stignatius]

I've seen some unitarian's connect Psalm 2:7 to Jesus' physical birth and his coming into existence. I'm curious to know how a unitarian deals with Paul's use of Psalm 2:7 in Acts 13:30-33:

"But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people. And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,

“‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you.’"

 

[stignatius]

A note: In the article I cited, Ray Faircloth says that the KJV wrongly applies Psalm 2:7 to the resurrection. Beyond not being sure what he means by the word "application", this isn't a peculiar rendering.

"For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb." - Acts 13:27-29

Although I respect F.F. Bruce and his work, he has to be wrong on this. Paul was just speaking about Jesus' death at the hands of Pilate. I can't really imagine Paul taking a hard left turn and saying: "And guys, get this... He was born." It's just obvious he's talking about Jesus' resurrection and he uses the same Greek words that are usually rendered that way.
