Once AGAIN you are showing that you cannot counter my valid points made in my post, and produce yet ANOTHER decoy, unbelievable
No way is John 1:1.2 showing anymore than one person or being, the word options on the whole for 1:1 b, do NOT allow you to add any more than one as in singular.
Sadly, the more one looks at yours and others corruptions, it's not only the tribulation which it appears we all go through, if alive, but they will cop the Wrath, after Jesus reveals the truth to them, but the elect (FEW) have already been gathered.

ts how the first Christians understood Jesus,
"
They understood him EXACTLY as the scriptures SHOW and NOT the likes of your corrupted version following in blue.
This now is the eternal life that they should know You (Father) the ONLY TRUE God =
Father, Son and Holy Spirit and whom you have sent, Jesus Christ.
The TRUE version of 17:3, stands for exactly what it says, for people back in Jesus's time, just as it does today, for us.
He clearly here, INDEPENDENTLY of himself, defines the Father as the only true God when he was here and CONFIMRED in John 1:18, after the cross, exalted and glorified and now referenced as an only BEGOTTEN God = he was NOT a begotten God when here, as his CLEAR words in 17:3 TELL US, well............to THOSE of the True God and True Son.
John, Not like you also believed;
John 20:31 -
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
The ONLY true God that he wrote about.
He did not write his Book to show that Jesus was God, or God in the flesh, or God man or that he was the Word, he simply says nothing of a sort.
Paul taught that he was the 2nd Adam MAN and a 2nd Adam means exactly that, the difference being, the 1st was made from dust and the 2nd by the word and power, (the Holy Spirit which Yehowah is) which is ALL that come down, making him heavenly as he was not made of dust.
And this same MAN, the God and Father ordained and is going to use This Man, to do the judging etc.
YES, the Bible shows us beyond doubt, that this MAN atoned for our sins, and not this rubbish which you post, that no man would be good enough.
That is no more than your imaginations running wild and is no where supported in the Bible, hence you create this nonsense, and grossly demote this Man Jesus's achievements = Shame on You.
