Here's a puzzle.


So here is a question.  Who are "the Spirit, the water, and the blood" referring to?

1 John 5:7-8(NKJV)
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 
And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

I think the first part is obvious.  "The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit" refer to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. 

I'll take a guess at the second part.  The Spirit is again the Holy Spirit.  The water is John the Baptist testifying as to who Jesus is.  The third is Jesus Himself. 

Not sure if that is correct but it is what made the most sense to me.
