Here it is:
John 1:18
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
(KJV)
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(KJV)
John 3:18
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(KJV)
I Jn 4:9
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
(KJV)
What is it about ONLY begotten that is so hard to understand?
Since the beginning, folks have said Christianity is a "religion". Well, the news is-- Christianity is not a "religion". It is a REALITY. You can be a member of any club you choose, but pay your allegiance only to Yashua Messiah, Jesus Christ, the ONLY begotten Son of GOD.

: Re: DOES THE VATICAN HOLD YOUR MORTGAGE?
: This article has raised a number of issues but concerning this
: duality of Christ and Satan you should probably take into
: consideration Joe Smith set the foundation of the Mormon
: Church based on Kabalistic esoterica to rebuild a new
: Judaism in America after he studied under several rabbis.
: This there can be little doubt after reading this link:
: http://www.gnosis.org/jskabb1.htm
: "What is clear is that Smith and his apostles restated
: what Moshe Idel, our great living scholar of Kabbalah,
: persuades me was the archaic or original Jewish religion. .
: . . My observation certainly does find enormous validity in
: Smith's imaginative recapture of crucial elements, elements
: evaded by normative Judaism and by the Church after it. The
: God of Joseph Smith is a daring revival of the God of some
: of the Kabbalists and Gnostics, prophetic sages who, like
: Smith himself, asserted that they had returned to the true
: religion. . . . Either there was a more direct Kabbalistic
: influence upon Smith than we know, or, far more likely, his
: genius reinvented Kabbalah in the effort necessary to
: restore archaic Judaism."
: What we are essentially faced with is an America so thoroughly
: Judaic few even recognize the differences anymore. And you
: have to realize that "Christianity also brought the
: open coercion of religious belief. You could even say that,
: by the modern definition of a cult as a group that uses
: manipulation and mind control to induce worship,
: Christianity is the Mother of all Cults - in service to the
: mysogynistic, fascist ideals of Judaism!"
: And considering that biology as it stands today concerning DNA
: has completely shattered Mormon ideas about their actual
: religious history apparently tied intimately with American
: Indians who they claim as this race their beliefs and
: doctrine are connected to. Even Mormons are falling out who
: can see through the veil as this video depicts: DNA vs. The
: Book of Mormon
