John 17:3 DOES THIS SCRIPTURE SOUNDS AS IT WAS REFERING TO 1 OR 2 PERSONS.?

 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

IT'S SOUNDS LIKE 2 SEPARATE INDIVUALS TO ME.

    Jesus is referring to his Father as his God and his God is the only true God. So the first thing we must see is that Jesus himself is referring to his Father as the only true God and then distinguishes that person from himself. It is also rather obvious that Jesus is most definitely saying the the Father and only the Father is the only true God.

    Sounds like two individuals to me. A sender and a sent one.

    ONE of those individuals is the TRUE GOD

    John 17:3 (King James Version)

    3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

    How do we have eternal life,Jesus clearly tells us here by knowing

    God the Father himself through His Son Jesus Christ.

    Before Jesus Christ came, to earth He was one with God.

    Absolutely two (2) separate and distinct individuals. The trinity is a false God dishonoring doctrine.

    I would think if Jesus was referring to a triune godhead(which they existed in his time). Probably would have stated something more like this. Taking in knowledge of me ,Myself ,and I means everlasting life.

    Could I resist....Mark
