The Nicene Creed doesn't teach "God begot God".

The nicene says

Quote
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

The word begotten:

To father; sire.
To cause to exist or occur

Now, The father did not sire or father Deity..neither did He cause Deity to exist, He doesnt create other Deity..The Eternal Word, was not caused to exist or fathered, HE IS GOD jn 1:

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

God doesnt sire God..

God the Father is the Father of the man Jesus christ, Not The Eternal word..

You see, the mediator manhood of christ was begotten of God before all worlds, as the head of the election of grace col 1:

15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

18And he is the head of the body, the church:

Now, this sacred man who was bgotten before all worlds, was hypostatically joined with the Eternal word, and they became one..The Man Jesus christ recieves His Deity by being one with The Eternal word, who is unbegotten, uncreated, but eternal as the Father, and Self Exisitening as well..This is the true understanding of the Trinity sir, not that blasphemous greek philosophy born of corrupt rome..
