In fact, the words "Only Begotten Son" are now being changed since Scholars understand and realize that the translation is inaccurate. For proof, see below: The proof you offer is not proof at all, but just a fabricated version of your truth.
The actual translation of the word begotten (as used in John 3;16,and a few others) in the original Gr. is as follows. 3439 monogenes, begotten (mon-og-en-ace'); from 3441 and 1096; only-born, i.e. sole: KJV-- only (begotten, child).
Also used in the following Vs. John 1:14 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
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.
Heb 11:17 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
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.
This word begotten in the Gr. is also translated delivered. 1080 gennao, begotten (ghen-nah'-o); from a variation of 1085; to procreate (properly, of the father, but by extension of the mother); figuratively, to regenerate: KJV-- bear, beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender, make, spring.
This is not however the word used in John 3;16 as per the orig. writings. I don't have the time or the inclination, at this point, to get into the rest of your distortions and multiple fabrications of the word of God.
Higher critics have for centuries attempted to destroy and wipe out the word of God and have never been able to do so...All to the glory of God, and you my friend shall certainly not succeed either.
The word of God lives on because the only begotten Son of God, Jesus the Christ Lives!
John 12:46-48 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Have a good evening Shalom...><>
