I looked up the passage, 1 John 5:7-8, in my bible and the footnotes reference the later addition to some of the manuscripts. Looks like reading footnotes is valuable. ;)

There's always been a question about the insertion of half that verse. It doesn't bother me one way or the other since there are many other verses in Scripture that speak to the truth of the Trinity.

Next to justification by Christ's sacrifice alone, I don't think there's any doctrine in Scripture as important and necessary to understand than the Trinity. Without it we are not Christians. So if someone chose to stress that point, I don't think it's so egregious. Nothing in the rest of 1 John 5 contradicts the verses. In fact, it supports them.

Let's ask forthedeclaration. What do you think about 1 John 5:7-8, ftd?

The footnotes don't tell you the whole story. The truth is those verses were added, thereby corrupting the scripture.

Try John 7:53-8:11 or Mark 16:9-20. Same story.
