Me:
God is a Spirit right?  This one, two or three Spirits? 
One Spirit.
In John of the KJV it refers to the Father, the Word and
the Holy Ghost being "three" that are one.  Correct me if I
am wrong but if this is true then God is at least "two"
Spirits.  You see you have the Father that is a Spirit and
the Holy Ghost that is the SAME Spirit so there is NO WAY
NEVER EVER ANY POSSIBLE WAY that there are three.

Steven replys:
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.

record=3140. martureo, mar-too-reh'-o; from G3144; to be a witness, i.e.
testify (lit. or fig.):--charge, give [evidence], bear record, have
(obtain, of) good (honest) report, be well reported of, testify, give
(have) testimony, (be, bear, give, obtain) witness.

The scripture says the three records are one, Father gives witness, Word
gives witness, Holy Ghost gives witness.

Just like, Mat 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

God is one.
Eph 4:4  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one
hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all,
and in you all.

Father in creation.
Son in redemption.
Holy Ghost in Church.
One God, 
God can be witness however He wants, 1 John 5:7, is in line with all
other scripture.

Holy Ghost is the Father:
Luke 1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow
thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall
be called the Son of God.

Jesus is the Father:
Isa 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.

God is ONE.

Psa 12:6  The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a
furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7  Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
this generation for ever.

If the KJV has Gods words, and it does, then it's kept, and is God's
word preserved, if they have been kept and they have, we have them in
the KJV.

Your servant for Jesus sake,
