Beerus is more powerful then "a" GoD, too. He just about nearly took out five of them. They admitted a force field ability is the only thing that saved them.
Just because you're a GoD doesn't automatically make you an apex fighter. The fact Toppo is being trained as universe 11's next God of Destruction (He joined the conference of GoD's because of this), and Jiren isn't, proves this.

Yep.
And Belmod was among the GoD Beerus fought.
Manga and anime may differ, but there's no reason to assume a difference where no stated difference exists. afawk, Belmod is as strong in the manga as he is in the anime, as are all the GoD's..
It basically comes down to the individual who has greater mastery of Ultra Instinct.
Whis says you can overcome any danger if you have it mastered. Which is strange because you have the Grand Priest begin far superior to all other angels even though they have this ability. Making his statement untrue.
Possibly. That could very well be a misdirection, though. Well, if you give Toei enough credit to pull of something remotely clever, that is, which I agree is a stretch.
Regardless though, the point stands. An arm wrestling match says almost nothing about how someone will fare in a fight, provided the match isn't horribly lopsided.
The anime says a GoD beat Beerus in an arm wrestling match.
The anime says a fighter is stonger then a GoD.
That's all we know from the anime. It doesn't say who is stronger then whom, or if the fighter and GoD was from the same universe, or who beat Beerus in a competitiion.
Nothing contradicts the manga.
