*Amazing doctrinal note: "monogenous". The American Heritage Dictionary defines this word as

1) The theory that all living organisms are descended from a single cell or organism.

2) Asexual reproduction, as by sporulation [by spores].

Science uses this word in terms of Evolution, but here the Scripture use this word to denote that God did not have sex with Mary, that Jesus came directly out of the Father, and that Jesus is the only one to have been born from the Father in this fashion. Science has blindly claimed that all life comes from a one celled organism, when in fact they missed the truth that life comes from one Being - the Father - not a cell.
