Then you have nothing to base your beliefs on that is stable. The minute you declared that the Greek and Hebrew texts we have today are not trustworthy you have destroyed any and all foundation for your beliefs. If you can’t back up your beliefs with scripture you have nothing.

On the other hand I have complete faith that God preserved intact he portions of HIS word He wanted us to have. And in that word is this.

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.

(I didn't see this post of yours before posting #430...I also cited 1 John 5:7-8 in conjunction with John 15:26 toward the end of that post...)

If it's good enough for King James it's good enough for Jesus!

For those interested you might want to study Comma Johanneum

1 John 5:7 was added to scripture. The fact that it was added to scripture is verified universally by every biblical scholar, protestant or Catholic.

It was added for the precise reason that scripture does NOT have a clear scriptural basis.

About the only ones who seriously believe it wasn't are a small group of people who consider the King James translation of the bible the ONLY inspired scriptures.
