Let’s address 1 John 5:7 (KJV) directly and explain how it supports Oneness, not a Trinity of three persons.
Contents
📖 1 John 5:7 (KJV)
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
🧾 Literal Breakdown (According to Scripture, Not Church Doctrine)
🔹 1. “Three that bear record…”
- These are three manifestations or expressions of the same being, not three separate persons.
- The Father is the source
- The Word is His spoken expression
- The Holy Ghost is His operating power
They are not three conscious beings, but three witnesses of the same singular Spirit.
🔹 2. “…the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost…”
Let Scripture define each one:
➤ Father
📖 John 4:24
“God is a Spirit…”
📖 Deuteronomy 6:4
“The LORD our God is one LORD.”
The Father is the invisible, eternal Spirit — not a separate “person” in a divine trio.
➤ The Word
📖 John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
📖 John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh…”
➤ The Word is not a second person — it is the speech of God, the expression of His mind, made visible in Yahshua the Messiah.
➤ Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit)
📖 Romans 8:9
“Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”
📖 Matthew 10:20
“…it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.”
➤ The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father, the same Spirit that was in Christ, and not a third divine person.
🔹 3. “…these three are one.”
- The verse does not say “these three are three persons”
- It literally says: they are one — not in unity of mission, but in essence
- That is pure Oneness — just like you can have mind, word, and breath and still be one person
📖 Colossians 2:9 (KJV)
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
➤ Yahshua is the fullness of the Father, the Word, and the Spirit — all dwelling in one body, not shared across three persons.
🧱 Why This Is Not a Trinity:
| Biblical Truth | Trinity Claim |
|---|---|
| “These three are one” | Trinity teaches “three persons” |
| Word = God (John 1:1) | Trinity separates the Word into a second person |
| Holy Ghost = Spirit of the Father (Matt. 10:20) | Trinity calls Him a third person |
| Yahshua = image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15) | Trinity says the Son is eternal and distinct |
| “God was manifest in the flesh” (1 Tim. 3:16) | Trinity says “God the Son” became flesh |
📖 Isaiah 9:6
“…his name shall be called… The mighty God, The everlasting Father…”
➤ That child is not the second person of a trinity — He is the Father in flesh.
✅ Conclusion (Literal, KJV, No Compromise)
1 John 5:7 does not teach a trinity.
It teaches that the one true God expresses Himself as Father (invisible Spirit), Word (expression), and Holy Ghost (power) — but these are not three persons.
They are one Spirit (Eph. 4:4–6), fully revealed in Yahshua.
📖 John 14:9
“He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
