BTW - I also wanted to say that you did a great job at presenting the case here in the video John ... Very well studied and presented, my brother! I John 5:7 has been a debated passage for a long time. Once studied, one can see the true meaning behind it's omission from SOME not all manuscripts, as well as which (of the greek) and why. Again, very well done. God bless you, ~ Lee

In this portion, John is giving reasons to believe that Jesus is the Son, or reasons why Christians' faith is well founded. Now, a witness is a person, so he calls three events to the witness stand, so to speak. Jesus' baptism (water), Jesus' death (blood), and the giving of the Holy Spirit [all recorded or predicted in John's Gospel] form a united testimony that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. So, in calling these events witnesses, he personalizes them, thus using the masculine participle.
Excellent presentation. Very thorough. God bless.
