>Bro. Tim. I'm sure that from previous posts that you know
that I agree with you on the KJV...that it is just a translation
and has human error that I have even specifically quoted to prove
this. With that said, I would need some sort of proof that the
scripture being discussed...1John 5:7 was planted by the translators
for the sake of their trinitarian belief. I have used this scripture
in witnessing on the Oneness of God.

Hello All.
I'll share abit from my testimony conerning 1John 5:7.
My full testimony is posted on my web pages and many
of you have read it when I firsted join higher-fire.

" I did everything possible that I could do to understand the
doctrine of trinity, yet the wall was before me and I had no
peace whatsoever. I then did what I should have done in the
first place. Look to God! I then went to His word and started
to seek Him for the truth. Trust me, God is faithful. He showed
me truth that my mind had trouble understanding, being a trinity
believer for eleven years. But the same thought kept coming
to me over and over, "I robed myself in flesh and blood."
But I kept saying,"But God you are the Father and Jesus
was your Son the second person, the Word that became
flesh and blood.

This carried on for weeks. Me banging my head against the wall.
Then one night about a year ago, the banging knocked in the truth
in my heart. The Spirit of the living God, showed me 1Jn 5:7,8.
The Lord said to me; "Who is the Father?" I said you Lord!
He said, "Who is the Word?" I then said you Lord [Jn 1:1],
He then said to me, "Who is the Holy Ghost" I said you Lord.
Then it was opened unto me, "These three are ONE." ONE God
who is in heaven and who sits upon the throne [Rev. 4:2,8].
Then, I mean then, my eyes opened. My Father left His
home in glory took upon Himself flesh and blood and that
flesh and blood died for mankind. The lawgiver came under
His own law to pay the penalty for us. I wept. I realized how
much God loved me. I then repented of my false belief, the
teaching of trinity. I then came to know the ONE God of my
salvation."

Love into Christ Jesus.
