Yes, it does. How could you miss it? Could it be because you do not
know what 'honor' means? Your breezy scoffing leads me to believe that
this in indeed your problem.

> You are reading too much into that verse.

No, rather, it is you who do not read enough of what is there.

> By the way, why did Jesus call the Father the
>"only true God" at John 17:3?

Because as God they are one, so that they are the same only true God.
Cf. 1 John 5:20

>You haven't offered anything but substance here.

That is right. Whereas you have offered no substance at all.

> If you want to believe
>such a ridiculous claim as above feel free.

It is your claim that I find ridiculous.

> You're too subjective and
>emotionally attached to the trinity to think objectively.

And you are too objective and emotionally attached to anti-trinitarian
propaganda to think objectively.

> You have read
>too many trnity books and not enough of the Bible.

If you read it right, you would realize that the Bible IS a 'trinity
book'.

>After Jesus was resurrected back to heaven and sitting at the "right

>Jesus worships his Father as the "only trueGod", why don't you?

I refuse to answer leading questions.

>
>I need not deny something that isn't real.

But you are denying what is very real.

It is what you _do_ accept that is the lie.

>>But one person of the Trinity, Christ, has both a human will and a

>unBiblical philosophy and sophistry.

Another lie. It is neither unbiblical nor sophistry.

> Jesus was 100% man on earth before
>his resurrection. He had to be in order to be the "last Adam" (1 Cor.
>15:45)

And that is why we have always said: Jesus Christ is fully God and
fully Man. Or, IWOW, consubstantial to the Father in His divinity,
consubstantial to us in His humanity.
