John 17:3 – Jesus speaking
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

1 John 5:20 – The Apostle John speaking with the understanding.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Jesus is the true God, and eternal life. Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. Jesus is the name of God which was revealed to us in the New Testament. It is a marvel with the Apostle John’s words that were inspired by God that plainly teaches us that Jesus is the true God and eternal life that anyone would continue to believe otherwise. In 1 John chapter 5 the Apostle cover’s without doubt who Jesus Christ really is and that was that He is the true God and eternal life. The name God revealed to us in the New Testament for himself.

The Apostle John again speaks this mystery in a clear manner that is again in direct contrast to the Trinity as he had just done in 1 John chapter 5.

The Apostle John starts the same epistle with these words:

1 John 1:1-4
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Notice verse 3 doesn’t mention the Holy Ghost at all in part of the fellowship. He explained to you why our fellowship was with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. It was because the Word of life is the Word and the Word is God. And God is the father of all that is created and since God is a Spirit and the Word is God the Apostle teaches us who God is. The Word which is God and God is a Spirit became incarnate as the Son of God. Fully man and fully God. This is why “truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.”

Look again at verses 1 and 2. When the Apostle John speaks here of Jesus he says he was of the Word of life. Not the Word of life. This because Jesus Christ was also fully man. So he was of the Word of life. Otherwise you take away from the humanity of Jesus Christ.

The Apostle John understood that the Word is God as he stated to us in John chapter 1.

John 1:1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

So he is explaining to us who God truly is and this is concluded in the same epistle in 1 John chapter 5 which expressly teaches us who God is and that is “the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”

This in no way takes away from the Holy Ghost. It takes away from the doctrine of the Trinity, because God is a Spirit and as the Spirit of God he became flesh to redeem mankind back unto himself. But this union had to be God in the flesh both fully God and fully man.

The doctrine of the Trinity confuses everything in the New Testament and then takes their understanding of the New Testament and try to force it to fit the Old Testament and it doesn’t work because it denies who God is. God being a Spirit prepared himself a body through a virgin birth by means of the Spirit hovering over the virgin Mary. The Holy Spirit hovered over the virgin Mary because God is a Spirit. Thus Jesus Christ was both fully man and fully God. Not as different individuals in the Godhead. The scriptures tell us that (in Jesus) “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” (Colossians 2:9)

The fulness of the Godhead dwelled in the body of Jesus of which was the body of God. The Trinitarian doctrine obscures this. Which is it? Is Jesus in the Godhead or is the Godhead in Jesus? Colossians 2:9 says the latter.
