The word beget or begotten is an event and act. Chrsitians believe that Jesus is god and begotten son. This word gives an clear indication that Jesus came into existense as an event and act of begetting. Which also means that before this event Jesus was non-existent. Can someone be begotten as well as eternal? I know you would be having lots of expanation of word begotten, but again that expanation would be against the direct meaning of begotten. Begotten is a clear english word which has a clear meaning. If some dictionary add another meaning to begotten to accomodate christianity; doesn't really legitimise using word begotten.
Clear and honest answer would be appreciated.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God and not God the Son as Trinitarians would have you believe.
Jesus was the firstborn of all creation.(Col.1:15).
The concept of a Triune God was fused in with apostate Christianity in the fourth century CE.
It is a pagan teaching.It is NOT a Bible teaching.

Dear hectic, You Must remeber that Christ was spirirt incarnate into the flesh, he was begotten into this world when mary gave birth, But the Bible makes it very clear, that Jesus and God are one. Jesus said: "if you have seen me you have seen the father" the Bible describes Jesus as the word made flesh::"In the beggingn was the word and the word was with god and the word was God." Jesus Christ ha always existed, but was begotten into the flesh when mary gave birth.
But, why did Christ come? let me ask you a few questions.
have you ever lied? have you ever stolen something? ever looked with lust? ever used Gods name in vain?
If you have said yes to these three questions, then by your own admission, your a lying theiving blapshemous adulterer at heart, and God is Holy and perfect. God cannot look upon sin, infact he will punish sin wherever it is found. the penatly for sin is death and Hell. The good news is that Christ died for you, you broke the Law of a Holy God, But christ was begotten into the flesh and died, so that Gods justice might be satisfied. This day, if you will repent (turn from sin) and trust in Christ as savior and lord, you will be forgiven and granted eternal life
God Bless
