Early Biblical, Historical Evidence shows 1 John 5:7-8βs historical existence & the doctrine, existence, & verifiability of the Godhead/the Trinity are spoken during & well known as far back as less than 30 years after John wrote Revelation in A.D. 95
Early 100ADs-Polycarp said: "O Lord God almighty...I bless you and glorify you through the eternal and heavenly high priest Jesus Christ, your beloved Son, through whom be glory to you, with Him and the Holy Spirit,β (n. 14, ed. Funk; PG 5.1040)."
AD 150-Tatian refers to 1 John 5:7 when talking on Mark 16:
"Go now into all the world, and preach my gospel in all the creation; and teach all the peoples, and baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" (Section LV, Tatian's Diatessaron)
AD 157 -Vaudois'/Waldensians' Latin Bible quotes 1 John 5:7-8:
"Quoniam tres sunt, gui testimonium dant in coelo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt. Et tres sunt, qui testimonium dant in terra: Spiritus, et aqua, et
sanguis: et hi tres unum sunt."
The above Latin Bible words in 1 John 5:7, matches 1611 King James Bible's English words in 1 John 5:7:
For there are three that beare record in heauen, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
AD 200 -In Against Praxeas, Tertullian wrote, βwhich distributes the Unity into a Trinity, placing in their order [20] the three Persons-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost: three, however, not in condition, [21] but in degree; [22] not in substance, but in form; not in power, but in aspect; [23] yet of one substance, and of one condition, and of one power, inasmuch as He is one God, from whom these degrees and forms and aspects are reckoned, under the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. [24]"
(Tertullian, Against Praxeas, Chapter II)
A.D. 250 -In Treatises 1 5:423, Cyprian wrote,"The Lord says 'I and the Father are one' and likewise it is written of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 'And these three are one.'[The Ante-Nicene Fathers: Translations of the Writings of the Church Fathers Down to A.D.325 (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1926), 5:423.]
