If Jesus is God, how is he called God's only begotten son?

@gold einstein,
I thought they were three, you know, the trinity...

@dyslexia,
Than there's all those arch-angels, angels, saints -- who says it's monotheistic?

@neologist,
Quote:
Michael is the only archangel named in the Bible as recognized by both Jews and Christians. Gabriel, named in the Holy Bible's New Testament book, Luke, is considered to be an archangel, as are Raphael (mentioned in the Apocrypha Book of Tobit) and Uriel (mentioned in the non-canonical Book of Enoch). The Book of Tobit is included in the Catholic Canon of the Bible, as well as in the Orthodox Septuagint; however, this book is considered apocryphal by many Protestants. The archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are venerated in the Roman Catholic Church with a feast on 29 September. The named Archangels in Islam are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Azrael. Other traditions have identified a group of Seven Archangels, the names of which vary, depending on the source. The fallen archangel Lucifer (also known as Satan) was an archangel until he rebelled against God who then had Michael cast him down to Hell from heaven

(Emphasis mine)

@Francis,
The word archangel does mean 'chief angel', does it not?

@neologist,
Francis is accounting only for the Catholic interpretation. Others do not recognize the three that he mentions.

@Intrepid,
Hi! So good to see you. Intrepid, do you believe in the trinity? Oneness? Is Jesus God? Your statement kind of threw me so I thought I'd better ask to get a good understanding.

@Arella Mae,
Hi Arella.

My statement had to do with the talk of archangels.

However, to answer your question.... Yes I believe that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one.

@Intrepid,
Is it " . . .This is my Son, the beloved; listen to him.. . ." (Mark 9:7)
or ' . . .This is me, the beloved, listen to me . . . '

I really don't understand why Jehovah's witnesses have such problems with the trinity. It's the only logical conclusion that can be drawn from the Bible after all. If one does not acknowledge the trinity, one has to claim either that Jesus is not divine, or that there are multiple deities, which would be polytheism. In my opinion there is only one logical answer, and that is that the Father and the Son are One.
Asserting that Jesus is divine does not make him equal to his creator.

I don't think there's any place in the Bible where Jesus says anything like "I am the son of God".
