Often mistranslated as "Only begotten Son" this is actually an incorrect term. The actual translation of John 3:16 is that "God so loved the world that he gave his UNIQUE Son to save the world"

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

begotten son
Thus, this scripture shows that Jesus was created (or begotten) and therefore is not God. God created Jesus, therefore Jesus is God's son. How hard is that to understand, trinitarians?
Johnn 14:28 Jesus said "The Father is greater than I am". Is God greater than himself?
Matthew 24:36 "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." God is all knowing. Yet Jeus doesn't know the day nor the hour. In fact, it says only the Father knows. Hence the holy spirit doesn't know either.

Why can't Trinitarians read this (and other verses) and accept that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three distinct entities working in perfect unity for the salvation of man?

begotten son?
God created the world. God is perfect. Why was the world imperfect?

Just keep rehearsing your fantasy. God is no more real than Dumbledore is.

Well the answer varies depending on the religion you follow .. for me I believe that He (SWT) gave his last message (Islam) so people are saved from their darkness and worshipping status sun moon…etc, as the old people used to do.
