Diggin in da Word: //They try to cover their tracks of removing
verses by saying ((The most reliable early manuscripts
and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20.))//
That is sure curious wording for TELLING THE TRUTH.
The most reliable of the early manuscripts do not have Mark 16:9-20
written in them. Some early witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20.
The majority of later manuscripts, copies of each other, have
Mark 16:9-20.
I beleive that God has preserved one of His Truths in this
matter OF THE MISSING VERSES.
Diggin in da word: //IMO, it is an attempt of satan trying to plant
doubt in the mind that Christ arose.
First these passages removed, tomorrow, more. //
But due to SOUL LIBERTY in Christ, others should consider
themselves free to assume that God can't lick the lead devil
nor can God perserve His Holy Written Word against the
Devil's wiles.
IMHO God has the lead devil on the run and God is beating
Satan with the HCSB, NIV, NASB, etc.
Meanwhile, while some slept:
1. In 1986 the number of Christians in North America was
surpassed by the number of Christians in Africa. If you haven't
had a native African missionary to America
come to your church, you might be a redneck
2. About 1947 Dennis Gabor of England
invented the Holograph. This is a method of recording 3-dimentional
color light. Strangely, you can take half a Holograph away, and
still see the picture recored in the remaining half.
My God is Big enough to create and preserve His Holy Written Word
on any PAGE of any Translation of the New Testament.
The doctrine of Soul Liberty says I must let others have a
teeny tinny God that is running scared of the lead devil
thinking if the Devil snatches ONE VERSE the whole universe
will come falling apart. So i let them be.
Meanwhile, my
BIG GOD has His Holy WRITTEN WOrd stored
in over 400 different English texts alone
And any one of them BY ITSELF contains the whole of the
inerrant written Word of God: the Holy Bible.
\O/ You GO, GOD!!!!!!! \O/
\o/ Glory to the Lord! \o/
God's Holy Bible takes a lickin'
and keeps on tickin' !!
Mark 16:16 (who ever quoted it didn't tell which Bible
he got it from):
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,
but whoever does not believe will be condemned.
My preacher said the believing v. non believing
and the saved v. (not saved AKA
condemned
repeats the important part. The less important part
about being baptized is NOT repeated.
Anyway, the truth of the logical proposition 'Whoever believes ... will
be saved' does not automatically prove it's opposite
'Whoever believes NOT will NOT be saved'.
However, this verse makes it clear that both the proposition and
it's opposite are true. I love this \o/ Praise Jesus \o/
It will help me prove my favorite doctrine: OSAS = once saved,
always saved
Matthew 24:13 (HCSB = Christian Standard Bible /Holman, 2003):
But the one who endures to the end,
this one will be delivered.
This proposition, being right there in the Bible is true.
It's opposite is debated by the anti-OSAS folk and the OSAS people.
What is the truth of 'the one who endures NOT to the end,
this one will NOT be delivered'? This anti-proposition is NOT
true mearly because the proposition is true, the opposite proposition
must be proved on it's own merits.
As can be seen in Mark 16:16, in God's Holy Bible God tells
both sides of the coin, if both sides are true.
-----------------------------------
For those who think that a proposition and it's anti-proposition
must both be true given the proposition is true. All I have to
do is provide one example of a proposition which is true and
an anti-propostion which is false. Here it is:
PROPOSITION:
If a person stays out in the sun too long;
then they will suffer skin damage.
ANTI-PROPOSTION:
If a person DOES NOT stay out in the sun too long;
then their skin will NOT be damaged.
The proposition is true, the anti-proposition is flase.
Even as you read this, people are in tanning salons getting
their skin killed.
