>> I assumed your assembly believed in verbal plenary inspiration of the scriptures.<<

You can assume anything you want. I posted the full contents of the Greek we have today. You then, in some nefarious attempt, indicated there was conflict about that verse. So in allowance for your little nitpick I showed that even if the rest of the verse is disregarded the totality of scripture on the matter doesn't change.

>>Are you removing inspired words of the Holy Spirit from the Bible in this post or did you add words not inspired by the Holy Spirit to the Bible in post 2985 ?<<

I changed nothing. I allowed for your little nitpick then showed scripture still consistent on the subject. I posted from just one version, the KJV, rather than including all versions plus the Greek because of space and my assumption I was dealing with an intelligent person who would realize there are different versions with the Greek to check for accuracy. My apologies for overrating your intelligence.

I understand your frustration and need to dwell on minutia and diversionary tactics. Staying away from the blatant self admitted paganism of Catholicism and having just been shown the facts of the atrocities of your chosen religion is hard to face. Just understand I'm not going down the silly rabbit trails you wish I would.

When you show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary, get rid of the paganism within the Catholic Church that God condemned, and follow Christ rather then some stand in or "other Christ" maybe we could play down your rabbit trail.

Okay, then with this permission and the evidence, I assume your assembly does not believe in verbal plenary inspiration if the Scriptures.

I posted the full contents of the Greek we have today.

Actually, you did not. You posted part of 1 John 5:7 seemingly indicating you do not believe the entire verse (which affirms the Triune nature of God very clearly) is the inspired words of the Holy Spirit.

You then, in some nefarious attempt, indicated there was conflict about that verse. So in allowance for your little nitpick I showed that even if the rest of the verse is disregarded the totality of scripture on the matter doesn't change.

Nefarious ? I assume you had forgotten, or did not know about, the 1 John 5:7 controversy. Here is a link to help you argue it from your point of view

“5:7 For there are three that testify, 5:8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three are in agreement.” ‑‑NET Bible Before τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ τὸ αἷμα, the Textus Receptus reads ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ὁ πατήρ, ὁ λόγος, καὶ τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα, καὶ οὗτοι οἱ τρεῖς ἕν εἰσι. 5·8 καὶ τρεῖς εἰσιν οἱ μαρτυροῦντες ἐν τῇ γῇ (“in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. 5:8 And there are three that testify on earth”). This reading, the infamous Comma Johanneum, has been known in the English-speaking world through the King James translation. However, the evidence—both external and internal—is decidedly against its authenticity. Our discussion will briefly address the external evidence.1
