You, however, are
controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God
lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not
belong to Christ. (Romans 8:9)
People believe things without checking into them. When I was in college,
someone told me that King James had passages inserted into the Bible that
condemned witches (and perhaps others, I don't recall.) I was pretty new to the
concept of apologetics at that point and I don't recall saying anything to
correct her at the time. I do remember thinking that I should have told her (if
I didn't) that the Bible has since been translated from the original Hebrew,
Aramaic and Greek, and that what she claimed were additions were in the earlier
manuscripts as well.
Other people have other ideas about changes to Christianity. Some
believe that Christ was not divine, and that it took several hundred years for
that "myth" to develop. Of course, some of these people lived before
some of the early manuscripts were found. They didn't have access to the wealth
of research available today. Some, however; reject such research, and without evidence
that such material was in fact added, assume that it must have been added
because it contradicts their theories. Today's passage would have to have been
one of the passages added, because it strongly suggests a plural Godhead and
that The Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ are the same. It differentiates
and equates
