Again, see John 17:5

NOWHERE in ALL of Scripture is CHRIST/JESUS/THE WORD [of GOD] referred to as "FIRST creation";
Where then do you get that MADE-UP NON-Scriptural phrase and then ascribe it to THE WORD [of GOD] made flesh (John 1:14) which came forth from [out of] THE FATHER / THE ETERNAL GOD?

You AGAIN ignore the FACT that Jesus is GOD AND MAN.

Very convoluted. You'd literally have to show any scripture saying so (there is none). It is a deduction FROM scripture and open to everyone's intelligent scrutiny, thus. You don't get a 'pass' or "God revealed it to me." It MUST be clear from scripture. You'll not hear anything from me unless scripture says it. Contrast that with deduction. Induction is far superior for truth and doctrine in theology.

I see verse 3, the one that speaks of ONLY TRUE GOD.

It is what is said in scripture, read Gen 1...and the SPIRIT moved across the face of the warters...
Christ was/is a SPIRIT and all was done through it/him.
Think of what could mean. Christ is a spirit of God. it/he was GIVEN the power, fullness of his creator. Heb 1 tells us that God praises the creation of the Universe done by his son. Phil 2 tells us that this spirit son is a FORM of God, a god, who took the form of man. Study it RD, it took me a long time to see this.

Many times I have said that the spirit SPOKE through the BODY prepared for IT/HIM. Heb 10:5
The son was SENT to bring us understanding. The Son came as a DOVE.

Jesus was a MAN, he had to be a man to be the Lamb, sacrifice for mankind. But the spirit IN him is a created FORM of God.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.John 17:3
Nope, no John 17:3 here....
Nope, no John 17:3 here....
No John 17:3.....
Nope, no John 17:3 here either. Me thinks Keypurr is overcompensating and making it up. I literally have nothing from God that says anything Keypurr assumes, is true at this point.
Awkward paraphrasing of Colossians 1:15-17
So, as an aside (since John 17:3 didn't address anything, literally at all), let's see what John 17:3 DOES necessarily say, AND what we 'guess' afterwards.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
We may not squabble over the first part until we get to 'thee' so I'll start there: "Thee." Singular. "God" and "Jesus Christ" plural, the latter distinguished as 'having been sent.' So, a singular 'Thee' and not a 'both you and' that would have made YOUR assumption incredibly clear. Rather we have a singular in Greek followed by a plural. The ending of 'n' and 'Jesus' are the same such that 'thee' could be seen applying to either and/or both.
Note that eternal life is to the one that knows God AND Jesus Christ. I've seen your "I love the God of my Lord Jesus Christ" on your sig, but never "I love the God of the Lord Jesus Christ, AND my Lord Jesus Christ" from you. Why? I think there is an obvious reason that has always struck me. You simply didn't choose to share any sentiment of love to a 'inferior being' in your own theology, right?
The more I grow into an able scholar, the more it means I am able to quote scripture verbatim rather than making it up as I go or awkwardly paraphrasing. Just the scriptures or it is just the "Lon" show (or Keypurr Show).
Colossians 1:15 and you paraphrased it, yet again to mean what you want, rather than what it says, no?
If I cannot find it in the word of God C-L-E-A-R-L-Y, then I will always be humble and careful to tell you "this is what I think, tentatively.' I'm not audacious enough to claim I speak for God unless I post His very words. -Lon
Thank you for proving my point.
Yes He was.
And He was ALSO God.
Correct.
False.

How can a man as smart as you not understand the word "ONLY".You twist and turn and yet do not see what scripture tells you. Tradition is your God.

Reformers over the years brought bits of truth to the churches, but there is more truth yet to come. Your smooth talk will not get you through the gate Lon. Jesus told you that ONLY his FATHER is the TRUE GOD yet you turn your back to his words. You were given the gift of gab, it is a shame you do not use it to bring truth to light.

Your darkness is deep. I suggest you get new batteries for your flashlight.
We understand it just fine.
YOUR problem is that you aren't recognizing
that where the "only" is in the sentence makes a huge difference.
"The Father is the only true God" (what scripture says)
IS NOT EQUAL TO
"Only the Father is the (only) True God" (what you want scripture to say/mean, but it doesn't).
Childish insults won't get you anywhere, you heretic.
Repent.

After ALL these years, you STILL CANNOT ANSWER basic questions; but I must say you've gotten much better at ATTEMPTED MISDIRECTION & PROJECTION!

"Only" doesn't mean "three" Keypurr. I'm convinced you know very little of what a Trinitarian actually believes. There is only one God. We agree, or did you think not? Do you argue sometimes when we actually agree with you?
I JUST posted where you said "John 17:3" and NONE of it said anything about what you said about Colossians 1:15-20. None at all.
It surely isn't me twisting and turning. WITH ME, just read the scriptures and say EXACTLY what they say without variance. When you do that with me, you'll be as 'triune' as I am.
Is that what YOU are calling 'just scripture' these days? All you have to do is prove it WITHOUT paraphrasing. Just tell me what scripture says. I guarantee you will be close to me on the triune floor. Just read scriptures with me Keypurr. It is that easy, no appeal to authority, just reading what scripture says and leaving it alone.
As long as they are scholars committed to knowing God/Jesus Christ (that slash can be thought of as an "and"), then I'm fine with some correction. Happened yet? Nope. Germans, Mormons, etc. have all tried.
Who said it would? You are drawing a line that is God's alone to draw. You don't GET to draw it, Keypurr. He does.
Show me. It has to say literally and verbatim. Show me, else YOU are making it up. It is as simple as that. YOU don't get to be God. He does.
SHOW ME! Show me literally the scripture. I've been here 20+ years. You've NEVER shown me one scripture that says what you do. Not once. Conversely? I can show you a scripture that says what I say, VERBATIM. I don't paraphrase, I quote. I don't make up stuff, I listen.
Discernment. I don't have to gab. Scripture is scripture is scripture. I'll take it ALWAYS for the win! ALWAYS> it is the only thing that doesn't return void.
Repeating nothing but scripture? Show me otherwise. You never have. When it comes time, you simply say things like this. You've John 17:3 and Colossians 1:15-20. Start teaching. I'm listening. Simply answer me: What does it actually say? No special pleading. No 'God somehow taught me (but I can't explain it adequately or give you any scripture that actually says so). There you go. Do it. The floor is your's to stand or fall on, just like scripture says about the Lord Jesus Christ. A Cornerstone of stone of stumbling. Get cracking. I'm all ears.
S-C-R-I-P-T-U-R-E that says EXACTLY that or no deal Keypurr.
Let me help kickstart for you:
John 1:1 "In the beginning the Word was with God and was God."
See that? Nothing but scripture. NOTHING-BUT-SCRIPTURE. See?
Another:
John 20:28 Thomas Said to Jesus (given verse 26 as 'Him'): 'You are the Lord of me and God of me!"
John 20:28 και απεκριθη ο θωμας και ειπεν αυτω ο κυριος μου και ο θεος μου
It is just this clear. Simply show another what scripture says, like I do, and you'll be listened to. I've not appealed to 'God showed me' or any other ridiculous special pleading. Just what it says, Keypurr. When Jesus argued with the Sadducees, He simply quoted scripture verbatim. When Jesus addressed Satan, He used scripture verbatim again.
Point? Any argument is settled literally by the scriptures alone, not some prophetic special pleading.

Look up in your Aramaic Bible in Plain English translation that you have Keypurr please, 1st Corinthians 11:29
For whoever eats and drinks from it being unworthy, eats and drinks a guilty verdict into his soul for not distinguishing the body of THE LORD JEHOVAH.
Does the LORD JEHOVAH have a body?
