Translation, "You don't agree with me, so you must be wrong."
Get over yourself.
Appeals to authority and popularity don't make your beliefs correct.
Nope.
The Bible has enough in it to provide a foundation for the trinity in spite of the errors you think have been introduced into it.
No. Let God be true, and every man a liar.
Begging the question is a fallacy.
Let's compare what the Bible says, not just what Jesus said, to what you claim, instead.
Rather, John 17:3 says:
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. - John 17:3

What it does not say is "That they may know ONLY You, the true God, and Jesus Christ..."
What it does not say is "That they may know ONLY You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ..."
What it says is that the Father is the only true God.
What it does not say is that ONLY the Father is the only true God.
Meaning, it is not exclusionary to Christ ALSO being that same "only true God."
Scripture says:
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. - 1 Timothy 3:16

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. - 1 John 3:8

Scripture is consistent and shows that God is triune, in spite of your claims to the contrary.
:yawn:
What I believe comes from the Bible, not from some council of men.
God is indeed a single being.
But He's not a SINGULAR being. He is a plural being.
He is not like Allah, who is a singular being (who doesn't exist by the way).
Here's the thing, though:
From the very first verse in the Bible (yes, literally the first verse, I'm not just saying that as an exaggeration), God is shown to be a plural being.
In the beginning, Gods (plural noun "elohim," rendered "God" in English) created (singular verb)..."
Moses, being the educated man that he was, having grown up next to royalty in Egypt, did not make a grammatical error in the very first sentence of the Pentateuch, the verse being THE most studied and well known verse in history.
The Hebrews and Jews knew God was a plurality.
Nope.
No, it doesn't prove your position.
The problem is that the Bible doesn't say what you want it to say.
Sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about.
Not what those verses say.
Because He had emptied himself when He came to earth as a baby.
False.
No, Begotten does not mean "created."
