1 John 5:7 Controversy pt. 1

"The Bible also says: “There are three that bear witness in

heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.” 1 John 5:7 (NKJV).
I realize many think 1 John 5:7 doesn’t belong in the Bible and was added by Erasmus in the 1500s.

After looking at both sides of this debate, I now believe 1 John 5:7 is God’s Word.
One reason is because old Waldensian Bibles (long before Erasmus) contained the full 1 John 5:7.

I devote an entire chapter in my book to this controversy. The text says: “There are three … the Father, the Word [Jesus], and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one [united].”
EGW herself confirmed this basic truth when she wrote: “There are three living persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of these three great powers—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized … ” Special Testimonies, Series B, Vol. 7, p. 39."
