The sabbath keeping ritual and criticism for not keeping the 516 old testimony commandments is difficult for me

What biblw version is this? John 5:7 is missing. The King James version John 5:7 "For there are three that bear witness in heaven, The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost and these three are one."

The Greek text of 5:7-8 says that it's the Spirit, the water, and the blood that testify to Christ, and that those three are in agreement. That's attested and favored by majority reading for the major early manuscripts of the Bible (100-300 AD). Likewise the Greek transcripts that attest to the KJV are five miniscules (smaller transcripts) and most of those manuscripts were written well into the medieval period till the 1600s. So the likelihood of the Trinitarian theology being found in 1 John 5:7 is pretty low, based on what we've found in early manuscripts that house 1 John. Does this kill our Trinitarian theology? No. Not at all. There's plenty of other allusion and reference to the Trinity in the rest of Scripture. God bless!
