I think that you have been brainwashed; your belief is a sickness, which almost ruined my life. My biggest regret is one of having been raised as an evangelical Christian and then abandoning it only to return, like a dog, to my vomit.
But, let's talk about this:
Quote:The Comma Johanneum, also called the Johannine Comma or the Heavenly Witnesses, is a comma (a short clause) found in Latin manuscripts of the First Epistle of John[1] at 5:7–8. The comma first appeared in the Vulgate manuscripts of the 9th century.[2] The first Greek manuscript that contains the comma dates from the 15th century.[3] The comma is absent from the Ethiopiac, Aramaic, Syriac, Slavic, Armenian, Georgian, and Arabic translations of the Greek New Testament.[3] The scholarly consensus is that that passage is a Latin corruption that entered the Greek manuscript tradition in some subsequent copies.[1] As the comma does not appear in the manuscript tradition of other languages, the debate is mainly limited to the English-speaking world due to the King James Only movement.

Like I stated and you ignored there has been a few passages Christian scholars believed were placed in the NT, but they haven't changed the message or meaning of the scriptures. Now with this said a second time and finial time why didn't you address the Israelite artifacts?
I haven't been brain washed, I closely examine many things of the scriptures and I'm sure that I do not have a sickness of the kind you are suggesting. It's too bad that you believed you were brainwashed but hey we'll all find out in the end of our lives, right.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
