6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. The signs are the baptism of water the lords supper a symbol of the blood spilled on the cross and the spirit baptism

The Lords supper is not a "symbol" of his blood and body.

As our Lord emphasized;

"this IS my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
And...
This IS my body, which is given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”

Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever.
 
Don't forget the Lamb of God who came into the world to inaugurate the covenant through His blood.

Hebrews 9:11-18 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
 
The Scriptures provide a key identifier or "sign of the Covenant of Messiah" :

Yeremyah 31:33, "After those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; (minds), and I will be their Father, and they will be My people."

8451. torah - torah: direction, instruction, law Original Word: תּוֹרָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: torah
Phonetic Spelling: (to-raw') Short Definition: law

This is one of the most ignored principles concerning "NT" prophecy/truth.

A key point concerning the OP, and I hope I am not viewed as wrong for pointing out falsehood in our modern text:

The most well know forgery in all the Scriptures is: “ ...In heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth... ”.

Are we at the point where we dont even care what was in the original Scriptures, and just go with forged tradition?


1 Yahchanan (John) 5:6-9, "6 This is He Who came through water and blood: Yahshua Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit which testifies, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three which testify: 8 The Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three are of one accord. 9 If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of Yahweh is greater; for this is the testimony of Yahweh: that He has testified of His Son."

Verses 5:7-8 -- In the King James Version and later renditions of the Latin Vulgate, the received Greek and Latin texts include the words: “ ...In heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth... ”. This text concerning the heavenly witness is not contained in any authentic Greek manuscript written earlier than the Fifteenth Century of this current era. It does not appear in any of the oldest Greek manuscripts; neither does it even appear in the earliest Latin translations. This text is not cited by any of the Greek or early Latin writers, even when the subject they wrote of would naturally have led them to appeal to its authority. The Emphatic Diaglott by Benjamin Wilson, Page 803, The Jerusalem Bible, New Testament, Page 419. Other scholars and researchers have frankly admitted that these words are a deliberate forgery that was never a part of the original inspired Holy Scriptures.
 
The signs are the baptism of water the lords supper a symbol of the blood spilled on the cross and the spirit baptism

When I read those scriptures in context I don’t see that it means what you say. First of all your sentence above to explain what you say is so poorly constructed that it’s impossible to determine what exactly you are saying, perhaps because English is not your first language. Now if English is your first language then you may want to apply much more care in your commentary pertaining to your interpretation of scripture.

When I read this in context John seems to be talking about the earthly evidence provided by Christ’s birth that proves that He is the Son of God. In the preceding sentence it says,

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”


Then John goes on to give the physical proof to show that Jesus is the Son of God.

“This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.”

What John said in my interpretation (I may be wrong) is that Christ not only came by water like the rest of us when the water breaks before birth but Christ also came by blood…. meaning the blood of virginity resulting from a virgin birth giving solid evidence that He is the Son of God. So not the only the water but “by water and [virgin blood].” And this miraculous birth could only happen by the presence of the Spirit.

Thus the three on earth that bear witness that He truly is the Son of God are the Spirit (responsible for the miraculous conception), the water (breaking of the water at birth to prove He was born like the rest of us) and the blood (the blood of a virgin proving He was not born of man like the rest of us but of God).
 
and the ark of the covenant in heaven bears witness of the covenant of peace through Jesus blood
You can by grace be made citizens of heaven through the new covenant
citizens of the heavenly kingdom whose laws of love are eteranl
they are found in exodus 20:1-18
 
6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. The signs are the baptism of water the lords supper a symbol of the blood spilled on the cross and the spirit baptism

Hmmm, Comma Johanneum?
 
The Lords supper is not a "symbol" of his blood and body.

As our Lord emphasized;

"this IS my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
And...
This IS my body, which is given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”

Transubstantiation? How about if you let me bake up those wafers for you?
 
1 john 5:7 is accurate although the Vatican has been making efforts to discredit it but due to fathfull believers who even laid down their lives for the word of God to get to you , now Jesus said I only do what I saw my father do and nothing I do I do for myself only what the Father has told me to do ,also he saith that he and the father are one and ,and john 1:1 states in the begining was the Word and the word was with God And the Word is God , and through him all things were made and nothing was made that was made without him .now Jesus is the only beggotten of the father that means everything the Father is ,is in the Son ,not like us that we were given life ,the Son was already within the Father so in Him is life .
