In the KJV 1 John 5:7 we read; For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
With this scripture not being in any of the original Greek manuscript's. Where did it come from to be placed in the King James Version of the Bible?

KJ had some rules to be met before he allowed translation. There are quite a few things added in there.
OK, looking into it, it was added a few hundred year before the KJV so we can't blame this one on him. From what I read no one knows where it came from, but the apologists say it should be left in there because it supports the trinity. Sounds like it does more to disprove the trinity whether there be a god or not.

The Roman Emperor Constantine held a council where they decided what the bible would consist of. I'm guessing that they added that in.

From what is known and cataloged as "The Received Texts".

I don't believe you when you say it wasn't in the original Greek.
