John 17:3 doesn't teach Jesus is not the "true God"

John 17:3
This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. (NASB)

Why is it that some cite John 17:3 in thinking the Lord Jesus is not the true God when every other instance when the "true God" is used in Scripture it refers to the true God in contradistinction to false gods (2 Chronicles 15:3; Jeremiah 10:10-11; 1 Thessalonians 1:9 and 1 John 5:20-21)?

For those who deny the Lord Jesus is God, is Jesus a false god?

Thanks for your admission that you have two because the Bible teaches that the Lord Jesus is the "only" despot"s.

Sorry, it doesn't teach that. Jesus himself said clearly that the Father, YHWH, is "the only true God" (John 17:3).

I have no wish to further bang my head against a wall trying to reason against your arguments.

You affirmed that the Father is your "only" despot"s in heaven and yet despot"s also refers to the Lord Jesus in the same place.

You have two despot"s when the Bible teaches there is only one.
