>>>This verse was added into the Bible by the translators of King James
Version.  Cross it out.   It is usually omitted from modern translations.  
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.<<<


Nope.  It was in the 1522 edition of a Greek text compiled by Erasmus.  As we
all know that the the KJV didn't surface until 1611.  Not all modern
translations omit it, either.  The NIV doesn't.  Please don't cross it out.  If
God didn't want it there, then He wouldn't have allowed it to be placed there in
the first place.  Let's not second guess Him.
