If you take away God’s ability to create his own Son what does that say about God’s divinity? Don’t be so quick to reject what you haven’t fully considered.

Maybe you missed the memo, but scripture tells us God doesn’t change!
Not so: "one New Testament passage seems to imply that Jesus was begotten of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 1:18-20), dozens of other passages clearly indicate that Jesus is the Son of God the Father, rather than the son of the Holy Ghost. Luke 1:35 clarifies that the Holy Ghost's role was to prepare Mary to receive the power of the "Highest"--God the Father. Note carefully the entire verse: "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest, shall overshadow thee: therefore also that Holy thing which shall he born of thee shall he called the Son of God."
Moreover Jesus is coeternal with God's other aspects, Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirt. Most Christians speak of 'the persons' of God, yet God is one and we cannot say God is three persons, but one God who is beyond our imagination.
People need their words and imagination so they speak about God as three persons.
Then there is reality--John 20:17, Rev 3:12---Jesus' followers believe him-FIRST.
The Facts back them. The teachings of Jesus backs them. No need to know them. You do not know the men who translated your version.
Actually we do, even far back to Jerome; so well documented that even his errors identified/corrected. (edit - It's actually St. Jerome's feastday today! Sep30 - how cool is that for 'timing'! )

Reason: adde -(edit - It's actually St. Jerome's feastday today! Sep30 - how cool is that for 'timing'!)
Which of his errors have been identified and corrected?
Some of his commentaries on the Old Testament are not very good, for instance those on Zacharias and Joel,
plus "But he went too far in his reaction against the ideas of his time, and is open to reproach for not having sufficiently appreciated the Septuagint." https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/saints/jerome-625
