Jesus is the Son of the only true God, therefore He is not God? John 17:3

Jesus was right in John 17:3. Of course the Father of Jesus is the only true God. Will any Trinitarian deny that? Of course not. Is God the Father a false god? Nope.

As the Nicene Creed says, "We believe in one God, the Father... And we believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten from the Father, the unique Son, that is, from the substance of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one substance with the Father..."

Jesus is true God from true God. He is not made. He is eternal. Because He is the true Son of the true God, He has the same nature as His Father. He is the same Being as God. A being always begets the same being. A son always has the same nature has his father. Why would God and His Son be any different?

"There is one Physician who is possessed both of flesh and spirit; both made and not made; God existing in flesh; true life in death; both of Mary and of God; first passible and then impassible, even Jesus Christ our Lord."-Ignatius of Antioch (died 107-108 AD)

Verses proving Jesus is YHWH (compare the verses):

Php 2:9-11, Isaiah 45:23 & Rom 14:11; Rom 10:13, Joel 2:32; Col 1:15-17, Isaiah 44:24; Titus 2:13-14, Deu 14:2; 1Cor 10:9, Num 21:6; Eph 4:7-9, Psalm 68:18-19; Heb 1:10-12, Psalm 102:25-27; Heb 13:8, Mal 3:6; John 12:36-41, Isaiah 6:1-10; Rev 22:13, Rev 1:8, Isaiah 44:6; John 1:1-3, Isaiah 44:24; John 8:58, Ex 3:14, John 8:24, Isaiah 43:13; John 10:28, Deu 32:39; John 13:19, Isaiah 43:10; Rev 5:12-14, Lk 4:8; Rev 2:23, Jer 17:10; Rev 3:19, Pro 3:12

read genesis 6:2 and ezekiel 2:1 jesus is not the son of god but of abraham idiot. no hebrew version exist only the greek, they were all hebrew.jesus or correctly yashoua was perverted by the romans to fit their multi god mystery religion system of baal worship, and completely takeing yahwehs name out of the new testament when it was used in all the other scrolls of the script. get your crap together before you try teaching or you'll be another false prophet.

[ETHANGELIST]

@yahwehiswonderful Paul was a persecutor and enemy of Christianity until his conversation soon after Christ's death in which the resurrected Jesus appeared to him. And he wrote this:

† who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord, † (Romans 1:4)

According to Paul, Christ's resurrection confirmed Jesus was indeed THE SON OF GOD. So are you telling me Paul was a liar?

[ETHANGELIST]

@yahwehiswonderful And do you have any real evidence supporting your theory that YHWH's name was taken out of the New Testament?

[thelambsservant777]

Ego Emi by itself without Ho Ohn, does not equate YHWH, any way you slice it. Ho Ohn, Existing One LXX is used by YHWH in Exodus ch3, NOT Ego Emi without Ho Ohn. Jesus Never claimed to be the Existing One, not once in all Scripture. Instead Jesus makes it abundantly clear, He on His own can do Nothing. "I am" is not the Divine Name, demonstrates authority yes, but is not the Name of GOD. Not before Abraham was I was, I am, showing preminence over, not that He is GOD Almighty, not Ho Ohn..

[ETHANGELIST]

@thelambsservant777 (cont...) Jesus was comparing His existence with Abraham's existence in John 8:58. He was not talking about rank at all. The Jews asked Jesus about existence not about rank and He answers their question by saying He is eternal. Claiming to be higher rank than Abraham is not blasphemy and is not worthy of the death penalty at all. But of course, IF Jesus was claiming to be God, the Jews' response would make perfect sense. & I think that was John's whole point when he wrote it.

[thelambsservant777]

@ETHANGELIST Joh 8:37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. They were ready to kill him not because a claim to be YHWH, but because he told them they were slaves to sin, being Abrahams physical offspring they took great offense to this. Are you greater than Abraham who is dead? Video is off, Jesus cannot be the exact imprint of the Fathers Nature if not eternal? Father alone is omnicient, Rev.1:1, Who does Jesus pray to now???

[thelambsservant777]

Jesus is the Lord Messiah, He did not claim to be the LORD GOD, that would be His Father, Jesus is the Son of GOD. You are the Christ, Son of the Living God. Peter does not say You are the Living God. Now Ethan, this is the Biblical testimony. Jesus NEVER said Ego Emi Ho Ohn, GOD said to Moses: Thus you will say to the Israelites, HO OHN (NOT Ego Emi) has sent me to you..." The Divine Name, GOD of the Hebrews Name is OH OHN not Ego Emi, Check it out yourself Ex.3, in the LXX.

@ETHANGELIST They picked up stones to kill Steven also, dont you remember? Is that a valid reason for them to execute Steven. Sir, Let me help out here a little if I may..Jesus said Abraham saw my day(Not I saw Abrahams day) and was glad, Gal.3:8 explains this Abraham DID see the day of Messiah when the Gospel was preached to him. Jesus did not say before Abraham was I was, He said before Abraham was I live, I exist, Present tense not past tense, Your conclusions are incorrect on these points.

[ETHANGELIST]

@thelambsservant777 So the Jews did not think Jesus was claiming to be God in John 8:58? Instead He was only claiming to be higher rank than Abraham? And you think that's a valid reason for them to attempt to execute Him even though execution is illegal outside Rome's permission? Remember Jesus was answering their question. They wanted to know how He had preexisted to the time of Abraham, so if your interpretation is true, then He did not answer their question at all. (cont...)

[thelambsservant777]

@ETHANGELIST The Jews wanted to stone Jesus because Jesus was claiming premenince over Abraham and the covenant that GOD made with Abraham. Even when the Jews picked up stones to stone Him because they thought He was claiming to be God, say in John ch.10 for example, Jesus corrects them. There is no way Jesus was claiming to be God. "Why do you say I blaspheme because I said to you I am a son of the GOD. Is how it literally reads..

[ETHANGELIST]

@thelambsservant777 So why did the Jews want to stone Jesus in John 8:59, after He said "I am" in John 8:58?
