All three suffer from a lack of evidence as to their existence, apart from in fiction,where they are rife, and the minds of believers.
A thought just occurred to me about prior to the creation of the universe

That isn't true. The bible comes out clearly and states that Jesus is the begotten son of God. Begotten meaning
(especially of a male parent) to procreate or generate ( offspring).
2.
to cause; produce as an effect: a belief that power begets power.Sorry about that!
No problem, but you reference the translated English word, not the original Greek one (monogenes).

God is Love. God is Relational. Without the Trinity, God can’t be Love.
Love is relational, within the Trinity, between God and man, and between mankind.
I believe in the Trinity not because man has said so but because I believe it’s Biblical.
As for the begotten Son, Christ was begotten 2000 years ago. The Word has always existed within the Trinity.
John 1 NIV
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’’s will, but born of God.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Psacremento: Mankind can’t truly comprehend God but the Bible does state that we can know God on a personal level through Christ.
John 14
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
