The Only Begotten..

Scott that is not true other people in the bible were considered the only begotton son of God. David is one. I believe solomon was another. Abraham and Israel

This passage uses the greek word homogenes which means Unique, One of a kind, only.. But yeah.. I realize this.. Monogenes is used as "only" son 6 times in the New Testament John 1:14, John 1:18, John 3:16, John 3:18, and Hebrews 11:17..

But what is interesting to note is that in Hebrews they speak of Isaac being Abrahams only (homogenes) son when in fact he had 2 sons. So It should really mean "unique" How do we know when it's used as only.. and unique?
