John records that the Jesus we all love, who is the son of the living God said that This is eternal life, to know thee ( Context here he is praying to the Father) the ONLY TRUE GOD and Jesus Christ whom you sent.
This , to me is muy importante because this man Jesus is about to die for our sins- God will account his death as payment for our sins, Jesus the Christ tells us, through the writing of John that eternal life is to know the Father, the ONLY TRUE God. God here has two modifiers only and true, and I for one accept this as a very important discovery because it involves eternal life.
John did not record Jesus as saying eternal life is knowing a triada God. I’m not sure why no one other than me wants to address this. It seems that putting forth this verse makes everyone run to other corners of scripture and say this or that is the true God. Jesus, after being raised from the dead, met Mary Magdalene in the cemetery and said don’t touch but go tell the brethren that I ascend to my God and your God and my Father and your Father. Here again, John records what Jesus says- I don’t question the veracity of this.
Why the big attempt to negate this, to lead away from this? To not accept this, to condemn one who takes it serious?
If the triunists want a different narrative, write your own gospel, but please, dont try to convince me to see something that is not there. As I have pointed out the followers of Jesus did not preach about a triada God- if they would have, I would be on the front row, singing Untohim’s trinity songs. The foundational church did not have such a God. Paul says the head of every man is Christ and the head of Christ is GOD- that would have been an excellent place to teach about a trinity God, but no such word.

Bottom line- if you reject John’s account of Jesus telling us about eternal life as knowing the Father as the only true God, just come out and say so.
