A one God who can also be seen as \u201cGod the Father, \u201cgod the son\u201d and \u201cgod the holy spirit\u201d. Hence the 1in3 and 3in1 mystery that, we are told, no human being can prove, nor understand, although we are told, by high-ranking humans that have acquired authority, that \u201conly by faith can we believe it\u201d.<br><br><strong>Reminder<\/strong>: The trinity belief is that the Son [as well as the Holy Spirit], is <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CO-ETERNAL, CO-EXISTENT<\/span><\/strong> like the Father.

What does God\u2019s Word say ?<br><br>Well, for starters the word and even the concept of the trinity does not exist within God\u2019s Word. Then we find that \u2018god the son\u2019 and \u2018god the holy spirit\u2019 never occur. God\u2019s Word always refers to the \u2018Son of God\u2019 and the \u2018Holy Spirit of God\u2019 or \u2018Holy Spirit of Christ\u2019.<br><br>Let\u2019s see what God\u2019s Word actually says:<br><br>Ge1.2 <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">And<\/span> the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep.

Should God\u2019s Word, the KJV Bible have been corrected by then, then this text would have been mere history for our [irrelevant] awareness only. No corrections were made between 1882 and the last, and 7th, KJV Bible update was made in 1900 by the Cambridge Press. Therefore, we should not be surprised to find out that <strong>God has permitted certain Bible verses to be altered<\/strong>. These alterations <strong>will<\/strong> deceive many &#8211; but not God\u2019s very elect who, <strong>by diligent study of His Word<\/strong>, will be led to a knowledge of <strong>all truth<\/strong>.

It is said that Erasmus offered to include the disputed words in his Greek Testament if he were shown even one Greek MS that contained them. A library in Dublin produced such a MS (known as 34), and Erasmus included the passage in his text. It is now believed that the later editions of the Vulgate acquired the passage by the mistake of a scribe who included an exegetical marginal comment in the Bible text that he was copying. <strong>The disputed words have been widely used in support of the doctrine of the Trinity, but, in view of such overwhelming evidence against their authenticity, their support is valueless and should not be used.<\/strong> In spite of their appearance in the Vulgate <em>A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture<\/em> freely admits regarding these words: \u201cIt is now generally held that this passage, called the <em>Comma Johanneum<\/em>, is a gloss that crept into the text of the Old Latin and Vulgate at an early date, but found its way into the Greek text only in the 15th and 16th centuries\u201d (Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1951, p. 1186).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><em>8. The Spirit.<\/em><\/strong> The apostle now recapitulates his testimony, but places the Spirit at the head of the list. When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove bore testimony to John that the one he had baptized was the divinely appointed Messiah, and God Himself proclaimed His Son\u2019s praise (Matt. 3:16, 17). When Christ shed His blood upon the cross, His noble bearing and quiet dignity, aided by the ominous darkness and the earthquake, impressed onlookers with His deity (Matt. 27:45\u201354). Thus the Spirit operated with the events represented by the water and the blood (see on 1 John 5:6) to affirm that Jesus was the Son of God.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><em>These three agree in one.<\/em><\/strong> Literally, \u201cthe three are for the one thing,\u201d that is, <strong>the three witnesses have the same objective in view\u2014to testify to Christ\u2019s divinity, that men might believe on Him and be saved.
