Jesus Christ emphasized that all who love Him must obey His commandments.
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14 : 21
The Apostle John emphasized that the word of God written in the Bible is considered sufficient and should not be added to or reduced.
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 20 : 31
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Revelation 22 : 18 - 19
The Apostle Paul emphasized that all those who preach teachings that are not in accordance with his teachings are cursed.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1 : 8 - 9
If you are healthy enough, of course you will admit that the teachings of Jesus Christ, the teachings of the Apostle John, and the teachings of the Apostle Paul above existed before the year 1500. Do you still need proof for the other 3 points? Of course I will be happy to fulfill it.
@TamiHoshiyama @Jadeelliot444 @DianWChain1 @ReadMoreBible Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh who came as the Son of God.
John 1:14 (KJV)
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

@TamiHoshiyama@Jesniree @Jadeelliot444 @DianWChain1 @ReadMoreBible The Word in 1 John 5: 7 is the Word who was with God from the beginning (John 1: 1), and the Word which was with God from the beginning became human as the only Son of the Father (John 1:14) .
@TamiHoshiyama@Jesniree @Jadeelliot444 @DianWChain1 @ReadMoreBible This verse clearly says that all the truths that the Holy Spirit inspired to John came from Jesus Christ, which means that John's writings (including 1 John 5: 7) came from Jesus Christ or in other words it was Jesus Christ who uttered 1 John 5: 7.
@TamiHoshiyama@unitarian415217 We do not find in all the Bible records that believers carried out Christ's command to eat the body of Christ and drink the blood of Christ. Thus we can conclude that the commandment of Christ is figurative.
@TamiHoshiyama@unitarian415217 The Word that was previously a Person that cannot be seen or touched, later becomes a Person that can be seen and touched, and the scriptures explain that the Word became flesh. Thus the statement "the Word became flesh" is literal.
@SuperGrobanite Humans were created differently from other species, because they were created in the image of God. Thus humans are required to behave as humans.
@TamiHoshiyama @Jadeelliot444 @DianWChain1 @ReadMoreBible How God created humans is clearly written in the Bible. And how Jesus Christ came to this world is also clearly recorded in the Bible. You just have to open, read, and believe your Bible.
@TamiHoshiyama The Bible records that Jesus Christ was the Word made flesh, and there is absolutely no record which tells us that Jesus was not the Word made flesh as you say.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only ... (John1:14).
@TamiHoshiyama Every verse in the Bible does not stand alone, but is related to one another.
👉 1 John 5: 7 The Word,
👉 John 1: 14 The Word made flesh ( Jesus Christ ),
👉 Matthew 28: 19 The Son ( Jesus Christ ).
@Jesniree@TamiHoshiyama It seems that I have to believe more in the word of God which is written in the Bible which reads:
John 1:14 (KJV)
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
@Jesniree@TamiHoshiyama If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, then you also have to believe that Jesus Christ is God. Because it is impossible for God to have a child who is not God.
@TamiHoshiyama For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away (1Pet1:24):
Man who is flesh that comes from the flesh is likened to grass, but Jesus Christ who is the Word made flesh is not included in it.
