John 17:3, NW: "[This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.]" What does it mean by 'The only true God".Does it not come to mind that there are very many other Gods and then among all, there is only one true God, Jehovah, the almighty?! Take an example of gods you have recently heard; god of war, god of the rain and all other gods.

The Hebrew language uses terms for "God" that convey the idea of strength, also of majesty, dignity, and excellence.What is called a god has those qualities. You may ask, 'If Jehovah is "the only true God", what kind of "God" is Jesus?

Jesus himself referred to his Father as "the only true God." (John 17:3) Jehovah himself said:"Besides me there is no God."(Isa. 44:6) So Jehovah is unique;no one else shares his position.Jesus is spoken of in the Scriptures as a god, even as "Mighty God." (John 1:1; Isa. 9:6) but nowhere is he spoken of as being Almighty, as jehovah is.(Gen. 17:1) Jesus is said to be "the reflection of [God's] glory," but the father ir the source of that glory.

(Heb. 1:3) Jesus in no way seeks the position of his father.He said; "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service." (Luke 4:8) He exists "in God's form," and the father has commanded that "in the name of Jesus every knee should bend," but this is all done "to the glory of God the Father." Phil. 2:5-11

Bro let me ask you how many versions of the holy bible exist... the original scripture revealed by God to Jesus was in Hebrew language.. the ones you see in English are modified and don't reflect truely the original scripture... Jesus was a prophet and a messenger.. but he isn't and never will be the son of God.

perhaps if you said "...but according to my religion, Jesus was a prophet and not the son of god." instead of belittling his belief and trying to show that he is wrong.

Ynu believe; He died before completing his mission on earth, and that he will come back to complete his mission after everyone on earth has died.No one knows his mission. Perhaps this is what i believe; I believe that HE was ressurected as a spirit and went to heaven as a spirit person, not as a human.1 Pet. 3:18, 1 Cor. 15:45, Acts 10:40, 41 I believe there will never be a time when the earth is empty;when everyone has died I believe i know his mission.He came to teach the good news of the kingdom

It means that though people believe in many gods, there is only One. Not that there's literally more than one deity.

It means that even though Jesus is called a god, he is not the true God;- God the almighty
