Was the Tetragrammaton used in the Septuagint?

Dr William Barclay on 1 John 5:7 "The facts are as follows. First, it does not occur in any Greek manuscript earlier than the 14th century. The great manuscripts belong to the 3rd and 4th centuries and it occurs in none of them. None of the great early fathers of the Church knew it. Jerome's...

You object to the Greek manuscripts modern Bible scholars use because they were found in Alexandria. Yet you have no objection to Athanasius being from Alexandria. Thankfully Bible truth can be found in many, many translations including the KJV. It just might be a little harder.

Actually I am talking about you. You said 1 John 5:7 is the best scripture to establish the trinity. Yet it is at best highly controversial. To almost all Bible scholars outside of the KJ only crowd, the Johannine Comma is spurious.

I didn’t intend to be cryptic. Let me be more clear. You say 1 John 5:7 is the clearest statement of the trinity in the Bible. Yet it is almost universally considered by modern Bible scholars to be spurious. How regrettable for trinitarians that your best verse is at best highly controversial.

What city was Athanasius from?

That is no doubt why most translations say “the beginning of creation” even though it is very awkward for them as trinitarians. How do the scriptures saying things were created “through” Jesus identify him as the originator? Just the opposite is meant.

Rev 3:14

And yet the verse being discussed calls him the beginning of creation.

The converse is equally plausible.

Thank you for reinforcing my point.

What is the difference in whether he is the beginning of the creation “of God” or “by God.” The point is Jesus was the beginning of creation.

Interesting that Bible Highlighter calls 1John 5:7: “the one and only clearest verse on the Trinity.” That says a lot.

Why does the KJV omit “nor the son” in Matt 24:36? KJV - “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only RSV - “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”

"The Comma Joanneum, 5:7-8 of the Vg. is missing in all Gk MSS except four later MSS and in the Oriental versions. It is quoted by no Church father before Priscillian(380). There is no doubt that it is a gloss on the preceding lines, probably added in Africa or the Iberian peninsula." John L...

“[1 John]5:7; This verse has not been found in Greek in any manuscript in or out of the New Testament earlier than the thirteenth century. It does not appear in any Greek manuscript of I John before the fifteenth century, when one cursive has it; one from the sixteenth also contains the reading...
