  1. 1 Corinthians 8:6
    New King James Version (NKJV)
    6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

    Questions:
    1) According to this verse; can all things be through the Father?
    2) If the Father is the only God here, and Jesus is the only Lord; are you saying now that the Father is not Lord anymore?

    John 17:3
    New King James Version (NKJV)
    3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

    Questions:
    1) If Jesus knew his disciples being Jews already knew that the Father is the only true God; why would he still need to pray for them to know the only true God?
    2) If Jesus wanted the people to know that the Father is the only true God, then why did he uses the conjunction "and" and even adding himself?

    1. ANSWER # 1 GOD (ALONE ) CREATED ALL THINGS.THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. (COL 1:16) AND FOR HIM( JESUS CHRIST)
      ANSWER #2. THE WORD "LORD" IS DIFFERENT TO THE WORD "GOD". WE CALL GOD AS "LORD" BECAUSE HE IS HIGHER THAN US. SO WE SHOULD CALL HIM "LORD GOD". THE WORD "LORD" IS NOT DEFINE AS "GOD". MANY PEOPLE ALSO CALLED "LORD" BUT IT DOESNT MEAN THEY ARE GODS. ABRAHAM ALSO CALLED "LORD" BY SARAH BUT IT DOESNT MEAN ABRAHAM IS GOD.

      WHY WE CALLED JESUS LORD? BECAUSE JESUS MADE LORD BY GOD

      **Acts 2:36
      King James Version
      36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

      John 17:3
      New King James Version (NKJV)
      3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. "that they may know You," IS REFFERING TO THE FATHER. AND TO KNOW ALSO THAT JESUS CHRIST IS SENT BY GOD (JOHN 3:16)

      ANSWER #1.
      IN JOHN 17:3 "THAT THEY MAY KNOW YOU" THE WORD "THEY" IS REFERRING TO THE WORLD AND NOT TO THE DISCIPLES"
      THIS IS PROOF..
      New King James Version
      O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.

      ANSWER # 2
      THE CONJUNCTION "AND" IS NOT DECLAIRING HIMSELF ALSO GOD, HE CLEARLY PRONOUNCED "and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." TO KNOW THAT HE (JESUS) IS SENT BY GOD FOR THE SALVATION (JOHN 3:16)
