    God begets God?

    The author of the prologue is born again. No. It’s a fact, which can be quickly and easily confirmed by consulting trinitarian sources - Catholic and Protestant. (Which is what I’ve done repeatedly.) I’m not guessing. I’m very well-read on the subject of early church history.
