An argument showing time is temporal.

What definition of temporal are you using? Temporal usually means "relating to time" or "for a period of time".

Every point of time had to come into being and didn't always exist.

Time couldn't have come from nothing.

What is the evidence for these statements? I'm afraid I can't understand this argument. You seem to be talking about a second timeline in which our timeline appears, or something.

Exactly my problem as well. Are you assuming that there is some additional external time with which the coming into existence (which is a temporal concept) of "our time" can be described. If yes, then you just moved the problem back one step by introducing a complication. If no, what you say literally makes no sense because you use temporal concepts without there being a concept of time on which they can be based.
