Bible Question: why do most traslations of the bible swallow this verse up? |
Bible Answer: Hi Mechezidekau, This note at the bottom of the page has gone right into my bible. I look at it that each of the Persons testified here on earth speaking not on Their own authority but They are one testimony. "For there are three that testify in in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement." I think that this is a verse that shows that this testimony is from heaven above. It wasn't one that Jesus was trying to show while He was here on the earth. He never claimed to be the Holy Spirit. But we know that He is, in heaven. And in our bodies and in our lives, Christ in us the hope of glory. I John 4:12, "No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His spirit." (Small s mine) Later, Ray |
