Ayan na yung sagot ko sa previous post ko sir. The more important reason is that the verse is a fake addition.
Sir, based on the link you provided, from the latin vulgate translation, it was translated to greek, then duon nadagdag?
It is also true na madaming addition to the bible from hebrew. Ang alam ko, this is because most of the original manuscripts were intentionally burnt or lost. I dunno who ordered the burning and if it's true. However, since super daming translations and copies that were already out, these copies/translations were collected and dun kinuha yun books. Any "spurious" addition made within the bible should not affect the idea, concept or message of the bible.
2.Before we talk about the Trinitarian doctrine, atty., pwede ba paki-share yun Trinitarian doctrine and specifically the definition of co-equal?
3.The story would be perfectly clear if you recognize that, contrary to popular belief, God is not omniscient; otherwise, the story would not make any sense.
The Genesis story of Abraham and Isaac is one proof that God is not omniscient regarding matters concerning human free will.
To test Abraham, God commanded him to slay his only son Issac as an offering. As Abraham was about to slay his son with a knife, God said to Abraham through an angel:
Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. (Gen. 22:12)
God did not say that He knew what Abraham was going to do even before he was tested. God said "now I know", meaning that God knew only at that moment, not beforehand.
How did God know? Because God is omniscient?
No. God knew only when He saw that Abraham was ready to slay his son.
And that is why we are on this earth. We are here to be tested, in order to find out if we are worthy to be with God in heaven. Why does God have to test us to find out if we should be in heaven or in hell? Because God is not omniscient.
In Gen 17:15
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”
So prior to testing Abraham, God already told Abraham that he will be given a son. Abraham already knew the destiny of Isaac so despite God commanding Abraham to sacrifice his son, Abraham probably know that this is a test of faith. I also agree with you that this is still a test of faith because kung ako si Abraham, sasabihin ko "Bakit i-sacrifice ko si Isaac? How will You establish a covenant with him and for his descendants?
19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac.[d] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
But because Abraham is faithful, he followed God's command.

Walang problema sa "omnipotent." Maliwanag sa bible na all-powerful Siya.
So, sa omniscient muna tayo. Example, yung Adam and Eve story.
Just use your logic ---
Assuming alam ng Diyos na kakainin ni Adan ang forbidden fruit. Ginawa pa niya si Adam, tapos nilagyan ng forbidden fruit ang Garden of Eden, tapos pinagbawal ang fruit na yon, ang penalty = death pag kinain niya.
Alam naman pala Niya na kakainin ni Adan, bakit ginawa pa Niya ang lahat na yon? Dahil nilalaro lang Niya ang tao? Alam Niya na kakainin, tapos nang kinain, paparusahan ng death penalty? E di niloloko lang Niya tayo?
Ang sagot ay simpleng-simple. Hindi alam ng Diyos kung kakainin ni Adan o hindi, that's why God had to test Adam.
Here's another proof that God is not omniscient, which I had already posted previously:
So you will see that God is not omniscient in only one aspect --- man's free will.
If God knows everything, including what we will decide using our free will before we decide it, that will be
tantamount to negating our free will.
In Acts 2:23
23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[a] put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
Hindi kaya mag-contradict yun? Or, hindi kaya during the genesis, God chose not to use His omniscience over Adam & Eve since they were His precious creations to test the limits of man's free will? On the other hand, magiging circular naman kung sasabihin ko na God already knows the limits of man's free will, why test it?
