Emusan:


Make me understand



Then who said, 1 John 2:23b and 1 John 5:6 contain Trinity doctrine?
Can you see that you're the very one who didn't understand anything from this thread






Read the lost you quoted again and stop talking nonsense.
Emusan:
Having seen textual variants of 1 John 5:6 the preceding verse before the COMMA in the early manuscripts, let's proceed to next one!

Let's turn to 1 John 2:23b, as it proves two things. First, it proves that a Trinitarian clause could be expunged from 1 John in the majority of manuscripts.

Second, it proves that the Vulgate can sometimes preserve authentic readings more accurately than can the majority of Greek manuscripts.

1 John 2:23 in the King James Bible says:

"Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."

"πας ο αρνουμενος τον υιον ουδε τον πατερα εχει ο ομολογων τον υιον και τον πατερα εχει" (Textus Receptus, Beza 1598)

The second clause of this Trinitarian verse is supported by the Vulgate, Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Alexandrinus, Ephraemi, Porphyrianus and about 70 other Greek manuscripts (Novum Testamentum Graecum: Editio Critica Maior: IV Catholic Letters, Text, 2nd Ed. (Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 2013), p. 292). Most modern translations (e.g. NIV, ESV, NASB) follow this reading.

But with there being about 517 extant Greek manuscripts of 1 John and with just over 70 manuscripts having 1 John 2:23b, the clause is a minority reading. Accordingly, the Byzantine Majority Text does not include the clause.

The Majority Text says:

"Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father."

"πας ο αρνουμενος τον υιον ουδε τον πατερα εχει" (Byzantine Majority Text)


The Geneva Bible in 1557 followed the majority of manuscripts here and left out the latter clause. If a Trinitarian clause in 1 John 2:23 could be lost in the majority of Greek manuscripts, and the Vulgate can be more reliable here, it is not much of a stretch to believe that the Johannine COMMA was also lost in the majority of Greek manuscripts, and preserved by the Vulgate (as will be discussed below, the Vulgate preserves the COMMA).

.

Emusan, where is the "Trinitarian clause in 1 John 2:23"?
In what portion of your Bible did the Vulgate preserve it ?

Please allow him to continue arguing with other religionsists who have interest in his topics, it's just as if he set a trap and you guys are running into it, giving him the pleasure he wanted namely ARGUING with JWs smiley

Leave him alone, perhaps he will go and force all the tranlators to include what he wanted in their Bibles! smiley

Your conscience keeps beating you hard that's why you keep patrolling this thread even when no one invited you.

You join this thread because you know the implication of COMMA in your doctrines and people who didn't join have no problem with it, that's why they can quote it as a support for Trinity.

But at the sight of it in any post, it's what demon in you people furious about, that is why you people always shout "IT'S A SPURIOUS TEXT"

For you to know that it's not a spurious text and that people quoting it are right to do so, since it's part of the original scripture, is the essence of this thread. That's why I'll present all the fact on this thread for a future reference.

So clamouring for people to ignore me when you can't do so it's a great delusional.

1 John 4:3 is another example of an early corruption in 1 John.

The verse in the KJV says:

"And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."

This is the reading supported by Codex Sinaiticus, one of the earliest Greek manuscripts of 1 John, and the Byzantine Majority Text:

Sinaiticus:

"and every breath that confesseth not in the flesh is loosed from thy not; and this is the of Antichrist: that we have heard that he cometh now in the world already."

Byzantine Majority Text:

"and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus Christ in the flesh is delivered from God; and this is not the Antichrist's: hear that he cometh now and now in the world."

However, 1 John 4:3 in Nestle-Aland 27, following Alexandrinus and Vaticanus and a few later manuscripts, reads:

"and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus of God is not; and this is that of Antichrist: hear that he cometh now in the world already."

["Jesus Christ in the flesh is delivered from" is omitted.]

From the evidence of one of the earliest manuscripts and the majority of manuscripts, it is reasonable to believe that 1 John 4:3 in the Textus Receptus is the correct reading.  Byzantine Majority Text proponents would agree.  If Sinaiticus and the Majority Text are correct here, 1 John 4:3 is further evidence that a clause could be expunged in the early stage of transmission.
Re: Johannine Comma (1 John 5:7) by Emusan(m): 6:27pm On Aug 13, 2020
1 John 5:13 was corrupted early

1 John 5:13 is proof that a clause in a parallel construction (such as that in the Comma) could drop out of some early manuscripts.  The proof of 1 John 5:13 may not be convincing to an Alexandrian text proponent, but it should be convincing to a Byzantine text proponent.  The verse in the KJV says:


"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

However, the underlined words are not found in the three earliest witnesses of the verse.  Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, and Alexandrinus, essentially say:

"these things have I written unto you, that ye may see that ye have everlasting life: they that believe in the name of the son of God."

The Textus Receptus and the Byzantine Majority Text, in agreement with the fourth, fifth, and sixth earliest witnesses of the verse in its entirety, K (9th century), L (9th century), P (9th century), say:

"these things have I written unto you that believe in the name of the son of God, that ye may see that ye have everlasting life, and that ye may believe in the name of the son of God."
Re: Johannine Comma (1 John 5:7) by Emusan(m): 6:38pm On Aug 13, 2020
QUICK RECAP!

After critical study of different scholarly opinion on why the COMMA shouldn't be part of the Scripture, we came up with three (3) views which are:

1. The COMMA was not found in any Ancient Greek Manuscripts: This view holds that ancient manuscripts are more accurate and reliable than the later manuscripts.

2. The COMMA was only found in the late medieval manuscripts: This views holds that since the COMMA exists only in the late manuscripts then it must be a later insertion by "OVERZEALOUS TRINITARIAN" or by a TRINITARIAN for the support of Trinity.

3. The Majority Vs Minority: This views holds that there are 5000+ Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, manuscripts which contain 1 John 5 are limited to about 480 manuscripts.  Although the majority of these manuscripts lacks the Comma . Of the about 480 manuscripts of 1 John 5, only 12 of these manuscripts are from before the 10th century (Nestle-Aland: Novum Testamentum Graece, 27th revised edition (2006)):





Critics of the Comma are almost always silent regarding these textual variants and clause expunged of 1 John 5:6, 1 John 2:23b, 1 John 4:3 and 1 John 5:13 in the early uncials - corruptions that surely diminish the reliability of these early uncials in this portion of the text.  Despite there being this textual variant, none of the footnotes to 1 John 5:6 in the ESV, NIV, NASB, NRSV, NLT & HCSB mention it.  Such silence only serves to protect the undeserving reputation of the so-called "earliest and best manuscripts" and does not help the casual reader who wants the truth.

In line of this, those who hold the argument number 1 above can rethink.

Emusan:


So how come many prominent Christian writers who live long before the council of Nicea quoted and alluded to the same text?

Don't be silly , the tenets of the Trinity says the Father , Son , holy spirit are one . Then any such quote reffering to the Trinity could be misconstrued as though quoted from a verse when it was just an expression of a doctrine.
Re: Johannine Comma (1 John 5:7) by Peacefullove: 1:14am On Aug 14, 2020
Emusan:


I didn't say it was inserted earlier than council of Nicea but PEOPLE ARE USING THE TEXT BEFORE THE COUNCIL OF NICEA which nullified you assertion that the text only first appeared during the council of Nicea.

Which then leads us to how people get familiar with such a text if its origin not yet known?

Of course, many references of people who quoted or alluded to the text will be provided here when I'm done collating people opinions about their understanding of the COMMA!

People are not using the text, people are expressing a doctrine .

I didn't wait for anyone, rather you're the one who didn't know how it was inserted.

Rather my point still stands, it was already in use before the council of Nicea.



If it was never part of the scripture, that's why I asked, how come people quote or alluded to it before the council of Nicea?

Since you requested for a proof, all you have to do is to sit and relax then wait for your proof.

Just like I said, the lies that has been sold to you is that it was inserted during the council of Nicea, so any evidence of it being used before that time should tell you what could possibly happen to the text.

The phrase "THE FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT" was only used by John and can only be found in the COMMA.

If the tenent of Trinity is the Father, Son, Holy Spirit are one, that's the phrase the COMMA should carry.

The comma was never there in the first place , the phrase "The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit " is just an expression of a doctrine.

Not even Tertulian quoted it , he only applied John 10:30 to the Trinity . And for Cyprian the phrase " these three are one " also appear in verse 8 , So the argument stands that he was only quoting verse 8 and applying to his Trinity teaching.

To further burst your bubble , If that was the phrase John used, WHY DID CYPRIAN have a different phrase ?


250 AD Cyprian of Carthage, wrote, "And again, of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost it is written: "And the three are One" in his On The Lapsed, On the Novatians, (see note for Old Latin)

Having seeing various textual variants in the proceeding verse before the COMMA and some surrounding verses which nullified the claim oldest = most reliable and we can see the reason why Calvin said "...The Greek copies do not agree"

Then one can ask, if truly the COMMA exists and was ommited, shouldn't there be any evidence for its removal?

I tell you, there is an undeniable fact that the COMMA was removed.

Umlaut in Codex Vaticanus

The oldest manuscript containing 1 John 5:7 demonstrates that a significant textual variant was known for 1 John 5:7 in the 4th century.  In 1995 Philip B. Payne discovered "umlauts" (double dots) in the margins of various places in Codex Vaticanus.

He and many scholars agree that these umlauts indicate lines where a textual variant was known to the scribe.  You can read his work, The Originality of Text-Critical Symbols in Codex Vaticanus here.  

Interestingly, an umlaut appears next to the phrase "there are three who bear witness." in Vaticanus.

Payne briefly discusses and seemingly dismisses the significance of the umlaut in 1 John 5:7 (p. 112, footnote 34), but without a doubt the umlaut is there.

There is clearly an umlaut in the margin of verse 7 indicating a textual variant.  The only significant textual variant here is the Comma.

2) The following is a screen capture of the transcription of the above from the official digitized Nestle-Aland on the University of Munster Institute website. The image below can be viewed by selecting 1 John 5:7 in "B - 03 (Vaticanus)" and selecting "view by page":

"This three are one" in verse 8 is referencing to "the spirit, water, and blood" without the comma

This is what appears "τρεις εν εισιν" in the Comma rather than of "τρεις εις το εν εισιν" in verse 8.  The Greek in verse 8 has the preposition "εις".

250 AD Cyprian of Carthage, wrote, "And again, of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost it is written: "And the three are One" in his On The Lapsed, On the Novatians, (see note for Old Latin)

the bolded is that which is written but applied to his own Trinity doctrine. and the bolded appears at verse 8

Emusan:


"This three are one" in verse 8 is referencing to "the spirit, water, and blood" without the comma

So if anyone says "it is written OF the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost"

Someone with working brain will definitely knows this is not verse 8 but another verse.




Let me also tutor you because I know you lack wisdom

This is what appears "τρεις εν εισιν" in the Comma rather than of "τρεις εις το εν εισιν" in verse 8.  The Greek in verse 8 has the preposition "εις". 

Now, show us the Greek writing of Tertullian let's see whether it's in line with the COMMA or verse 8.

the funny thing is you admitted he wasn't quoting it FULL earlier which even add more doubts to your claim. if such verse existed, he would have done that .

now here you are claiming Everything he said was Directly Quoted @ bold . contrarily you claimed it wasn't a full quote in a previous post


you are confused .

Here is where your lying mouth will be shut forever!!!

Peacefullove:
even the article " THE " was interchangeable too ?? stop deluding yourself .

Now it's about ARTICLE "The" cheesy cheesy cheesy

when you make a quote, You make it exactly as it is , If you have any intention to add anything , it will be in bracket . YOU LIED!

How many of the early Christian writers usually make QUOTE exactly as it is from the scripture?

You are a Liar, that's not what he says ... okay In fact show me " OF THE FATHER " and Tell me why the Article THE was missing in his quote in reference to Son and Holy ghost.

You're the one who quoted Cyprian yet you didn't see "OF THE FATHER" there...that's wonderful.

Just like I said, you're just looking for a way to derail this thread which is very glaring.

he didn't , read the text again . that which is written is " these three are one " , it's the only word that appears in quote in that Statement .

That's your own fraud to just to twist Cyprian statement.

This is how Wikipedia put

The Lord says, "I and the Father are one"
and again it is written of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
"And these three are one."[52]



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannine_Comma

Original source puts it this way

"The Lord says, "I and the Father are one; " and again it is written of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, "And these three are one."

https://books.google.nl/books?id=hMU7AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA382&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

you are a Liar , Quote it the way it is . u this fraud

This is how it is!

"The Lord says, "I and the Father are one; " and again it is written of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, "And these three are one."

The Comma never existed , that's why his words didn't match the acclaimed quote. he was only expressing a doctrine.

Liar, what you even called expression is called "ALLUDED" hardly early writers' quotes match their quoting WORD FOR WORD.

Majority alluded to the scripture.

Where does the idea of applying "And these three are one" to the three persons if the TRINITY comes from if not from the COMMA?

Where is your source for this quote?

After I even tutor you about the wording of verse 7 &8 in Greek.
