The Freedom Of Humility, page-24

Just because I rightfully say that Jesus independently of himself, defines the Father as the only true God when here, does NOT invalidate his message, that eternal life now is through knowing BOTH of them.

That's right wotsup, it's only you that is saying it, and yes it does invalidate his message by the way you put it, as this verse is very clear about the unity of God, Father and Jesus as one and united in the salvation of humanity.

At this point Jesus is going to his cross for us, yet both the Father and Jesus are credited for the salvation or eternal life, they are not independent of each other, even with what Jesus said only true God, as God is monotheistic God, or God is one, it wouldn't be right for Jesus to say you father and me Jesus Christ are the true Gods
