Backed into a corner the Johannes comma would somehow appear in a thread about something unrelated..

Johannes comma?

also called Comma Johanneum

Its an ongoing argument about the Bible verses 1 John 5:7 and 8 that the Mormons have tried to use to disprove the Trinity..

1 John 5:7, 8

7 For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Without the Comma

For there are three that agree, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

the theory is that without 1 John 5:7, 8 or verse 7 intact, we Christians are just a lot of Trinity conspirators..
