I John 5:6-10
NLT
6 And Jesus Christ was revealed as
God’s Son by His baptism in water and by shedding His Blood on the
cross—not by water only, but by water and Blood. And The Spirit,
who is Truth, confirms it with His testimony.
7 So we have these three witnesses—
8 The Spirit, the water, and The
Blood—and all three agree.
9 Since we believe human testimony,
surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And
God has testified about His Son.
10 All who believe in The Son Of God
know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don’t
believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don’t
believe what God has testified about His Son.
Seems like there is
a definite incongruity here, or is there, it all depends upon the
definition of the word “one.”
