I know, when will you ever learn Apple. Why does your Greek differ from the folks who have translated the Bibles? Are they all wrong?
You just do not wish to read God's words that you don't wish to see. follow your church, it's you soul to worry about. I will follow Jesus and HIS GOD.
The very English renderings that you constantly and incessantly use for your unitrarian position were rendered by Trinitarians in the first place!

So…no, pops, you are the odd man out…
Wrong again Apple, but thanks for saying that I am the odd man out. I take that as a compliment. Jesus has one God, so do I. That is just the way it is.

Now you are saying that these Greek reading translators are wrong?
Show me, I am interested in how they are all wrong.
Where is the trinity God? Jesus does not mention it. Do you see a trinity God in this verse? NO, you see ONE GOD, THE FATHER.

Maybe you should read the verses around it. OPEN YOUR EYES
Joh 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

You can't even read English correctly, pops.
Jesus Christ, the one who was sent, is identified as the only true God!
Even in English you should have been able to pick up on this!
In Colossians (1:16), Jesus Christ is stated as being the causal agent
responsible for the entire Universe…
Thus, from this Biblical verse alone,
creation is By, Through, and For Jesus Christ all at the same time…
indicating, yet, again, that He is the Triune creator God of the Universe.
Thanks for this exposition through the Greek in your post #686.
Years ago, I got a strong revelation that Jesus is EVERYTHING ... it's all about Him ... etc.
It's His world, His playpen, His test tube, His EVERYTHING.
The CEO, Father God, said to the Word (the Logos), the Second Person of the Triune Godhead:
"This one's just for You. You desire it, so go and raise up some eternal friends for Yourself."

Now many times do we have to witness this uni-ignorance?
This verse mandates that Jesus is the only true God in the Greek, brother. However, you already amply demonstrated that you don’t know any Greek at all.
Zero.
Nor can you even begin to defend your ignorant position.
You don’t even have the skill-set to use a simple concordance.
Don’t quit your day job…
Joh 17:1 Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You, even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Youhave sent.
Really, When Jesus says YOU to the Father ... in the Greek he was actually talking about Himself? Who taught you Greek? You should get another teacher!
So according to you! When Jesus said YOU in...
Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
According to your Greek Jesus was calling Himself a brood of vipers in Mat 3:7 like he was calling himself GOD In John 17: 1-3!
Buddy, don't give up your day language!
How many times do I need to make you look stupid before you stop posting such traditions of men crap!
You don't get it do you! Your an embarrassment to real Trinitarians who actually try to make Scripture fit their views!
Paul
From the cowardice that shrinks from new truth,
From the laziness that is content with half-truths,
From the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
Oh God of Truth, deliver us.

Ya know, I'm on nyquil at the moment but let me help you out (I know, it should incapacitate me from being any help at all, but let me try anyway)...
I am a bit surprised that incapacitated on cold/bronchitus medicine has me beyond your 'righteousness' and 'spirituality,' yes. That does indeed surprise me.
Drop the 'righteousness' and 'spirituality,' pretentious crap! It's just your nyquil speaking! I feel your pain in regards to the cold/bronchitis! It's been a bad season for all! I don't hate nor feel any malice to wards Trinitarians ... I just correct theirs/yours tradition of men... and I do it very well! That's what's why I piss you off so bad! Just like Jesus did the Pharisees! So much so they wanted to kill him! Feel familiar?

[color="Blue"]Really, When Jesus says YOU to the Father ... in the Greek he was actually talking about Himself? Who taught you Greek? You should get another teacher!
You don’t even know how to use a concordance, brother, how then are you going to understand the English translation?
You want the ‘only true God’ to apply to the Father, and yet it is directly coupled to the Son who was sent by the Father.
That's what's why I piss you off so bad! Just like Jesus did the Pharisees! So much so they wanted to kill him!
The Jews wanted to kill Jesus because He claimed to be the Son of God which was the same as profaning the name of YHWH (John 19:7; Leviticus 24:16). To claim to be the Son of God was tantamount to claiming equality with God (John 5:18).

There is no help for you friend. You just do not want truth.
Jesus is calling his father the only God, Apple it is not I that has the reading problem.

Jesus was still in the form of a servant when He said that his Father was the only true God. But He was exalted to His former status and thus John says that Jesus Christ is the true God.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
It says that "He" (Jesus Christ) is the "true God and eternal life." John said that Christ is the "eternal ife" (1 John 1:1-2).
