Peace Alpha,
Finally!
As I have already stated, the RSV (revised by 32 scholars of the highest eminence) does not have this verse. Why not? Why is this verse in the KJV and not in many other versions of the Bible? Why, the debate?
Maybe you should read what your learned men of Christianity have to say about this particular verse:
The text about the three heavenly witnesses (I John 5:7 KJV) is not an authentic part of the NT. ( The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. 4, p. 711, Abingdon Press)
1 John 5:7 in the KJV reads: 'There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one' but this is an interpolation of which there is no trace before the late fourth century. ( Ibid., Vol. 4, p. 871, Abingdon Press)
1 John 5:7 in the Textus Receptus (represented in the KJV) makes it appear that John had arrived at the doctrine of the trinity in explicit form ('the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost'), but this text is clearly an interpolation since no genuine Greek manuscript contains it.(Allen C. Myers (ed.), The Eerdmans Bible Dictionary, p. 1020)
So I ask again, what is the verse still doing in the KJV, if your own scholars have admitted it to be a fabrication. And far worse than that, how did such a fabrication find it's way in the "book of God"?
Peace and Blessings be to the Believers
