Yet another lying Christian man! Is there a factory of them somewhere?

You breezily whisk away the evidence you don't like. You declare the Samaritan Pentateuch to be somehow invalid. News flash: This is the sacred text of an entire people with deep support from the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Of your many idiot points, I'll only address what "begotten" means. It is a very broad word of hazy meaning, but "born" is well within the lexical range. A 2014 paper on the word informs:

"It may mean ‘beget’ in the sense of impregnate (as does a father), or ‘bear’ (as does a mother); and it may also mean ‘to appoint’… [it] can similarly refer either to the father’s or the mother’s role in procreation, it also has a more general meaning of ‘to cause to come into being’, including ‘to engender from oneself'."

Since the word is used in Luke 3:22 when Jesus comes dripping wet and naked out of the water, I believe that "born" is the clear suggestion.
