Q.
Apostle John in his first Epistle, chapter 5 and verse 7 wrote:
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one."; is this not a fair testimony to acknowledge the `Doctrine of Trinity'?

Trinity Doctrine is a rejected one by majority of Christians.
There are also sects among Christians, who believe Jesus (pbuh) as Prophet of God, not as Son.

1. The text quoted does appear in the Kings James Version but has been omitted by most of the editors of the recent versions e.g. Revised Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, New English Bible, Phillips Modern English Bible, because the quoted text does not appear in the older Greek manuscripts.
2. Renowned historian Edward Gibbon calls the addition a \"Pious Fraud\" in his famous history book `Decline and Fall of Roman Empire\'.
3. Peakes commentary on the subject reads; \"The famous interpolation after \"three witnesses\" is not printed even in RSVn, and rightly. It cites the heavenly testimony of the Father, the logos, and the Holy Spirit, but is never used in the early trinitarian controversies. No respectable Greek MS contains it. Appearing first in a late 4th-cent. Latin text, it entered the Vulgate and finally the NT of Erasmus.\"

A unity of three is called Trinity -
We living human being have a Mind Body & Soul is a TRINITY and this human being is a unity of three that makes up a Human being.
Ice is a Trinity - Ice can become Water and Water can become Ice and Water can become Vapour and Vapour can become Water, etc.
Now though One in essence mind body and soul (a trinity) they act independently,
yet one is incomplete without the other.
Just like a family being ONE unit though comprising of father mother and children (A TRINITY) all have to live in harmony with each other (ALTHOUGH MANY), otherwise there will never be harmony. Father cannot say he want to do one thing and Mother cannot say she want to do something else and the children are not following the parents, though one in essence as a family but they are acting independently, thus no harmony and not a family. ...more
