NICE TRY!
but here is what Cyprian was discussing: the Gospel of John 10:30, not 1 John 5.
but nice try making the attempt to slide that past me...
The earliest reference to what might be the Comma appears by the 3rd-century Church father Cyprian (died 258), who in Unity of the Church 1.6 quoted John 10:30: "Again it is written of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 'And these three are one.
this quote is actually interesting.
Jesus said, I and the Father are ONE, nothing about the Holy Spirit.
but the RCC Cyprian, forcefully slips, the Holy Spirit into this meaning.
which is NOT what Jesus was saying nor did say at all.
