1 John 5:7 in the KJV contains these words called the Johannine Comma (also known as the Comma Johanneum or the Heavenly Witnesses). 

Why this verse was not found in some translations today:

Was it fraudulent inserted?

OR

Was omitted from Ancient Greek?

It was added to the Greek master text by Erasmus. That's how it entered the KJV.

However, it's origin seem to date back to the 4th century in some latin manuscripts till it found its way to the Latin Vulgate. It seem to be first noted in the margin before it entered the main bible text.

That's how it entered the KJV.

No! KJV only translate Bible using OT: Masoretic Text

NT: Textus Receptus
Apocrypha: Greek Septuagint; Latin Vulgate

And the text was in oldest Latin manuscripts 6-7th century.

And this thread is about the text authenticity.

The text was alluded to by many early Christians, so something must have happened along the way.

It is spurous. The Comma initially occured in the marginal note. It was never part of the bible until Erasmus added it in the 16th century.

They form here as the only knowledgeable people.
Almost all their strong doctrines have holes. If you are familiar with their magazines, Awake, it is now a shadow of what it used to be. I was given one li that some years back by my own brother about Trinity. I coudn't really see their claims in history.

I have typed here responding to threads about 1914 claim. It is the most unrealistic interpretation of the scriptures. I later found out that all those who challenged it within the organization were disfellowshiped. There was one of the disfellowshiped members who did so much research on YouTube. I learned so much from his research about Trinity.

If you remove all this the use including 1 John 5;7. The doctrine is still valid. Well implied.

You see their hypocrisy? It is out of this world. They can use inferences to support a claim but would attack your own.
Thanks for doing a great job.

People used the comma years long before 16th century.

Very correct.

It's more lies to cover another lies.

I was given one li that some years back by my own brother about Trinity. I coudn't really see their claims in history.

Search for their brochure titled "Should you believe in Trinity?" full of lies and misrepresented the teachings of the early Christians on Trinity.

Not only that, it even contains the quote of Atheists just to mislead their followers.

So after much outcry from the public, the brochure had to be withdrawn from their library to their achieve.

To show you how shameless they are like their online robot. Bruce M. Metzger had to personally write a letter to WTBS to stop using his works because they always misrepresented and twisted his words.

I have typed here responding to threads about 1914 claim. It is the most unrealistic interpretation of the scriptures.

The funny thing about 1914 is that

1. It's not even JWs idea in the first place, it's what Russell borrowed from his former church SDA

2. No Bible verse supported it, reason why if you asked them till thy kingdom comes. No single verse will be provided.

3. Watchtower will use the word of scientists & archeologists but asked them how many archeologists support the date they used to arrive at 1914? None!

All archeologists evidences show that Jerusalem was destroyed in 586BC but WATCHTOWER still claiming it happened in 607BC without a single evidence.

I later found out that all those who challenged it within the organization were disfellowshiped.

That's their way.

I don't understand your last statement. Do you mean that KJV used the earlier Text you mentioned? If so, I think you did mention Textus Receptus, unless I didn't understand you post. I quote;

"NT: Textus Receptus
Apocrypha: Greek Septuagint; Latin Vulgate."

Yes, that's possible. I did say that the Comma appeared on the margin for years before it was added to the main text. It first appeared in a latin bible around 5th century.

The comma was in Latin, not Greek manuscripts. That's suspicious because the original was written in Greek. So, the latin was a translation. One would wonder why it is not found in all the old Greek manuscripts but a translation, latin.

If I understand you, you say that the comma didn't appear in Vatican 1209. Yes, it didn't appear there, and that is significant considering the importance attached to that manuscript. So that phrase must be spurious.

Yes, that's possible. I did say that the Comma appeared on the margin for years before it was added to the main text. It first appeared in a latin bible around 5th century.

At what point does it added to the MAIN TEXT?

Before 5th century or after 5th century?

The comma was in Latin, not Greek manuscripts.

Yes!

That's suspicious because the original was written in Greek.

The original was written in Greek no doubt about it but what we have today are COPIES of the original. So something can happen along the transcription.

So, the latin was a translation.

Just as the Greek manuscripts we have today are COPIES of the original.

One would wonder why it is not found in all the old Greek manuscripts but a translation, latin.

If we wonder about how! We can only ask questions.

So the question is, what if it was removed intentionally or by omission?

What if it wasn't in the original at all?

Like I said earlier, an Umluats (double dot) was discovered in 1 John 5:7-8 in one of the oldest Greek manuscripts Codex Vaticanus those who discovered it acknowledged the dots but tried to explained of its non important away.

But the truth is the Umluats are there and the only thing missing with the Umluats is the comma.

If I understand you, you say that the comma didn't appear in Vatican 1209.

I didn't.

Yes, it didn't appear there, and that is significant considering the importance attached to that manuscript. So that phrase must be spurious.

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.

Interestingly, an umlaut appears next to the phrase “τρεις εισιν οι μαρτυρουντες” 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.

The main text for KJV translation is Textus Receptus, Vulgate was secondary. Whether it was found in the vulgate available for KJV translators is open the to question since not all latin versions had the comma.

At what point does it added to the MAIN TEXT?

Before 5th century or after 5th century?

For latin it should be in the 5th century. But for Greek it's around 15th century.

I think the majority of scholars, Trinitarians inclusive agree that the comma is spurious. Tomorrow more studies could reveal to the contrary. So let's stick to the best evidence for now.

Check the attached below screenshot

There is umlaut there, Payne acknowledged it was there, but he stated that the Johannine comma was not found there. Where was the umlaut found? Close to the "the" in "there are three witness bearers". This umlaut was not added in the fourth century, but around 10th century by a scribe who saw difference between the Vatican 1209 and other manuscripts in Latin. There had been redaction to the Vatican manuscript over the years.
