Hi,
This man has had a huge influence of the church so perhaps should be known better.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus
http://www.greatsite.com/timeline-english-bible-history/erasmus.htmlHi,
Re 1 jn5.7
The 'Erasmus Promise'[edit]Erasmus is said to have replied to his critics that the Comma did not occur in any of the Greek manuscripts he could find, but that he would add it to future editions if it appeared in a single Greek manuscript.[115] Such a manuscript was subsequently produced, some say concocted, by a Franciscan, and Erasmus, true to his word, added the Comma to his 1522 edition, but with a lengthy footnote setting out his suspicion that the manuscript had been prepared expressly to confute him. This Erasmus change was accepted into the Received Text editions, the chief source for the King James Version, thereby fixing the Comma firmly in the English-language scriptures for centuries.[115]
