Hallo pengyu, John 17:3 is one of your strongest counterclaims about the deity of Christ. In it Jesus prayed to the Father, saying, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." This does not mean the Son is not truly God. He said the Father is the only true God, but He didn't say that only the Father is God. The same type of literary expression appears elsewhere in the Bible. For instance, when "only Noah" doesn't intend to exclude his family (Gen 7:23; John 8:9).

In John 10:34, Jesus said "Ye are gods." However, He meant this in a derivative sense, not in an absolute sense. In a similar vein, Jesus was God only in a derivative sense. This misunderstands the nature of the argument. Jesus's argument here is a fortiori (with the greater force). If human judges can be called gods (Ps 82) - in that they stand in the place of God in a derivative sense - how much more can the Son of God be called God who is God in an absolute sense.

Please read John 1:1,2; 8:58; 20:28; Rom 9:5; Heb 1:8 for further affirmation that Jesus is God who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation (Col 1:15). The Bible must be read in its totality to be properly understood.

Welcome back lah, bro!  It's dangerous when people misquote the Bible lah! Just taking out 1 verse out of the entire John 17 is what we call misquotation lah! Ali should read the entire High Priestly Prayer of Jesus, the longest in the whole Bible lah!
