For biblical support that teaches this very thing see here:

Quote
Hebrews 11:17 (KJV) "By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten [son],"
To anyone who has read the Scriptures, it should be obvious that Isaac wasn't Abraham's only son, for he had another and previous son, Ishmael, who Hagar rightly bore for him (cf. Leverite Law). Isaac, however, was the only begotten son of Abraham, i.e., Isaac alone out of all of Abraham's children was given the distinction of honor. The offering up of Isaac, Abraham's only begotten son was a shadow and type of the Father offering up His only begotten Son, an undeniable truth and a precious one to be cherished. This can also be seen in regard to the resurrection of Jesus where God the Father declared, "this day have I begotten Thee" (Acts 13:33; 1Jh 4:9). Though there are many "sons of God"; men (Gen 6:2; Jh 1:12; Rom 8:14; 1Jh 3:1, 2) and angels (Job 1:6; 2:1), there is but One Who is given a place of honor, the Only Begotten One, the Son of God both from eternity and in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In His grace,
