Friends,
A post in the thread "Is John 17:3 true?" states that the Trinity doctrine FITS perfectly with John 17:3.
I may not be as intelligent as anyone in this board but I can't see how te Trinity Doctrine is NOT contrary or opposite John 17:3.
John 17:3 is Jesus speaking and identifying the Father as the only true God. In any language, this means to me that there is only one true God and that only one true God is the Father only (one God in one person).
The Trinity Doctrine states that there is only one God in the person(s) of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (only one God in three persons).
Can Trinitarians explain to me in a straightforward manner how they can believe John 17:3 to be true yet also believe that the Trinity Doctrine to be also true?
