text: why was 1 john 5:7 changed in the kjv of the bible? 1 john 5:7--"for there are three that testify." a few very late manuscripts add in heaven—the father, the word, and the holy spirit, and these three are one." bible manuscripts that were written prior to the eleventh century c.e (a.d.) read quite differently. so, it appears as though this verse was changed about 1,000 years after john penned it by someone who wanted to provide scriptural backing to the trinity doctrine. when reading john the fifth chapter, the three witness-bearers are the water (baptism), the breath (gr. pneuma – the breath of god), and the (shed) blood (of jesus). changing the water, the breath, and the blood to the father, the son, and the holy ghost would make the rest of what john wrote illogical; so that rendering is totaly false. trinitarians love to regurgitate philosophy, greek, , and quotes from other babylon-loving trinitarians. when trinitarians dishonestly quote the spurious version of 1 john 5:7, they are merely quoting the human work of a trinitarian, rather than the godly work of the apostle john or of the divine author.  by contrast, jehovah's witnesses believe that the scriptures alone quite plainly demonstrate that jesus and the almighty are separate distinct persons, and the almighty created jesus as his firstborn son.  (colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation  (mark 10:18) jesus said to him: 'why do you call me good? nobody is good, except one, god.  (revelation 3:14) the amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by god  (philippians 2:5-6) christ jesus, who, although he was existing in god's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to god  (john 8:42) neither have i come of my own initiative at all, but that one sent me forth  (john 12:49) i have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak  (john 14:28) i am going my way to the father, because the father is greater than i am  (1 corinthians 15:28) but when all things will have been subjected to him, then the son himself will also subject himself to the one who subjected all things to him  (matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my father  (1 corinthians 11:3) i want you to know that the head of every man is the christ; ...in turn the head of the christ is god  (john 20:17) i am ascending to my father and your father and to my god and your god.  (deuteronomy 6:4) jehovah our god is one jehovah  (1 corinthians 8:4-6) there is no god but one. for even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one god the father, out of whom all things are, and we for him  learn more! http://watchtower.org/e/ti/
