Go to Jesus vs. Christianity

- Go to THE RABBI YESHUA BIN NETZARIM
janesopion -- "one and only"
original derivative from the Greek -- implies "unique" of this particular father, that is, the spiritual.
no argument there -- this personage does seem to have been unique -- "born of the spirit" asin John 3.
but eventually with kindred and other children of god, as is mentioned previously in this particular passage.

another john
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
parenthesis are added by the translators, in the case the King James 15th Century Anglicans, who believed in the "only begotten of the Father".

John again
"1
.12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; 1.13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 1.14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father."
I've got to comment John's gospel a little more

One important fact you're leaving out:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:1, 14).
