"Jesus Christ is the true God
and eternal life"
According to Jesus, His Father Yehowah is the Only True God at the time he was here.
When Jesus used the words -> Only True God, there is NO way like you claimed, that the God he was referring to here is -> Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
That claim would have to come from the father of lies.
Jesus in no way was referencing himself twice in this verse. 17:3
But hey, what's a bit of truth twisty here and there eh, if we can create a fairy story like a Father Xmas
