1 John 5:8
King James Version (KJV)
“8 And there are three that bear witness in (on) earth, the Spirit (Ruwach: the; expression of a rational being, wind, breath, etc..), and the water (t’alah: an act, ie: bandage, that leads to; healing, curing, etc..), and the blood (shaphak: the giving or sacrifice of one’s life, ie: to a greater cause, or one’s soul): and these three agree in one.”
Here we read a verse that many understand to have a connection to trinity, a man-made concept that is far from the truth. Key words in Hebrew bringout the original message: 1. that which offers an expression of the Word 2. that which brings healing 3. and that which issues (flowing) from a fully dedicated source (man or woman); the message a simple one, 3 things that define a true child of YHWH, in YH’shua.
