(John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
Since Jesus (the Son) was "sent forth" on an assignment from "the only true God", the two cannot be the same person. Interestingly, the verse even teaches that God is superior to Jesus (since Jesus the Son directs prayer to and performs the work assigned by God the Father).
Interestingly, the Scriptures nine times refer to Jehovah as "the true Lord". Yet the word "lord" is used dozens of times in reference to kings, dignitaries, masters, angels, and (of course) Jesus Christ. Would this questioner pretend that all of these "lords" must be "false" or else also be part of a single mysterious multi-personalitied "true Lord"?

Yes, the name of God is according to his deeds. However, I believe this verse in Revelations can be taken literally instead of symbolically. The Lord will have a new name which no man knows upon his return. This coincides with his return "in the clouds". Listen with your eyes and see the heart of worship.

Revelation 3:12 says He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. . . .. . . .. . does that mean he will be turned into stone, then ?

Our Body has Head, Hands, Hearts, Stomach and Legs. Head include Hair, Eyes, Ears, mouth and Nose. Totally we called Body. Some time we told to our hands, don't beat him. But we know hands has not hear. The ears only having hearing capacity. Father, Son and Holy Spirit they are one and the same. There is only one God.

My first question would be if God has a name shouldn't you use it? Then maybe you would be people who was living according to his name.

It is a lie to claim that myth is truth. The affirmation of an ability to know about the existence of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth is a fraud that follows from the lie that myth is truth. Conservative ideological authorities perpetrate this fraud inorder to be able; to make threats against the life and or afterlife of anybody who does not submit to their authority; and to extort from communities of faithful believers tithes and offerings in exchange for a lifelong indoctrination in a standard of conduct that these same ideological authorities proclaim to be the discovery of the truth about the will of a good one in Heaven at war with and evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. Extortion based on threats made against the life and or afterlife of others and or a fraudulent affirmation of an ability to know about the existence of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth should be considered a crime against humanity because in committing acts of extortion based on fraud that follows from the lie that myth is truth these ideological authorities lead communities of faithful believers to have a low esteem of self and world that is not conducive to happiness and good health.
As a secondary source of income, some of these same ideological authorities who act as intermediaries might be expected to be willing to sell their influence over communities of faithful believers to a mercenary plutocratic predatory few. Satisfying a need and aspiration of a mercenary plutocratic predatory few to achieve and maintain authority, power, order and control over the state might then be a matter of buying influence from ideological authorities leading communities of faithful believers. The result of such influence peddling being that those ideological authorities who are most useful in satisfying the need and aspiration of a mercenary plutocratic predatory few to acheive and maintain authority, power, order and control over the state are given funding and those who are not receive little or no patronage. Once authority, power, order and control over the state are attained, the mercenary plutocratic predatory few may then seek to expand their authority, power, order, and control to bring the entire global culture under their rule by patronizing those ideological authorities who best motivate communities of faithful believers to out work, out fight, and out number competition in the global culture.
As communities of faithful believers race to out work, out fight and out number competition in the global culture, they are confronted by the limited dimensions of the planet Earth. We live in a body consuming biosphere on a crusted magma globe of limited dimensions. There is a limit to the supply of energy and space made available to communities of faithful believers by the planet Earth and thus there would appear to be a limit to the exponential growth of these communities of faithful believers; and a limit to the time that the race to out work, out fight, and out number competition could be run. Yet these are the aggressive ideologies of racist, heterofacist, warmongers. The world today appears headed today towards ever more profound disasters, calamities, desolations and conflicts as some authoritarian, powerful, orderly, controlling states drive their own people to out work, out fight and out number the rest of the global culture in a race to win the game of survival and sacrifice as it pertains to states and nations of people. As such, the need and aspiration of some states to maintain and achieve authority, power, order, and control over communities of faithful believers and the global culture as a whole supersedes the need and aspiration of the individual to be happy and healthy.
