You:
> What is the basis of this statement? As far as I can tell
"forehead" is *not* added by the translators. It is
strongs #3359.
Me:
If you look in your Strong's Concordance you will find the
words in 1 John 5:8 too and they were added in the 1500's
by an "editor":
This comes from "WORLD WIDE publications" "the four
translation NEW TESTAMENT" and is a footnote on 1
John 5:7 for the "Beck" translation:
"Our oldest manuscripts do not have 7b-8a: "in heaven: the
Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are
one. And there are three testifing on Earth" Early in the
16th
century an editor translated these words from Latin
manuscripts and inserted them in his Greek New Testament.
Erasmus took them from this Greek New Testament and
inserted them in the third edition (1522) of his Greek New
Testament. Luther used the text prepared by Erasmus. But
even though the inserted words taught the Trinity, Luther
ruled them out and never had them in his translation. In
1550 Bugenhagen objected to these words "on account of the
truth." In 1574 Feyerabend, a printer, added them to
Luther's text, and in 1596 they appeared in the Wittenburg
copies. They were not in Tyndale's or Coverdale's bible or
in the Great Bible."
I read "somewhere" that the word "forehead" was also not in
the older manuscripts.
The reason this has taken so long is that I have been
looking for the source (I look at so many things it is hard
to remember them all). I usually remember the info but not
exactly where I saw it. I have "scoured" my links and my
real books and cannot find this information.
It would be more accurate for me to say that the word
"forehead" wasn't contained in the earliest manuscripts.
Many think "Scoffield" was good at pointing this out but as
I dig a little deeper I find that he only uses this to
discredit the passages he personally disagrees with. You
will find no notation (at least in the Scoffield Bible I
have) on 1 John 5 7-8. This is true of Strong's to the
extent that he only left out the words that are in italics
in the KJV and provided a definition for the words that
appear in the "text" used to translate the KJV.
