Jesus Christ - The Only Begotten Son of God

[Peter]

To avoid redundant posting please comment on a nearly identical thread here: http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=55.0

If you have heard "The term "begotten isn't translated properly". Or "it was added later". Or "scholars have removed it" or some other such nonsense: please click here.

naliakbar suggests that Christians believe that God had carnal sexual realtions with Mary.
The reason Muslims have to make such a preposterous claim and deny the obvious use of the term begotten, is because the Quran is the opposite of the bible when it matters:

Sura 19:88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

Surah 112:2 Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; 3 He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

Consider the term begat:

1. To father; sire.
2. To cause to exist or occur; produce: Violence begets more violence.

If God didn't beget Jesus, then who caused Jesus to be conceived by Mary? How did Mary become pregnant with Jesus Christ? Who fathered Jesus?

Muslims believe Jesus was uniquely created by God in the Virgin Mary, yet have to deny it at the same time claiming that God didn't cause Jesus to be put in Mary.

If God put Jesus in Mary by saying "be" and she conceived Jesus, then how did God not father Jesus?
Jesus tells us God is His Father in maybe 1/3 of the 234 verses that declare God to be the Father.

If God is Jesus Father, then isn't Jesus God's Son? Over 100 verses declare Jesus to be the Son of God:
