1 John 5.7,8

For there are THREE that beat record in heaven , ( notice it does not say 1 bears record in heaven )

These 3 are in agreement and one in testimony .

It also reads like this in verse 8

Last part of the verse reads " and these three agree in one .

Please let's be consistent when rightly dividing the word .

Matthew 16:18

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock

I WILL BUILD my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 1 Corinthians 10:4

[ Luke 9: the account of Jesus's Transfiguration]

28-29 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, Jesus took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

And as Jesus prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

Verses 33-35

And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three (CHURCHES) tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: NOT knowing what he said.

While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: HEAR HIM.

Mishael comment: it was the wrong time to start planning 3 Churches. In the verse from Matthew, it's clear that Jesus will build His Church. A church not made with hands.

Context is a great thing .

I don't see it here .
