1 | How do these points relate to the Great | Gen 12:1 | Morant61 | 57640 | ||
Greetings the Bible is Right! I haven't read all of this thread, so I hope I'm not repeating something! :-) Internal evidence can be very subjective, so I would not stand upon it alone. However, combined with manuscript evidence, it can be compeling. What scholars mean when they refer to 'internal evidence' is simply that an author tends to use words and structure in certain ways. When a disputed passage contains words or structure which occur nowhere else in that book, it is a good indication that someone else wrote that passage. Concerning 2 Tim. 3:16, this verse only applies to Scripture! :-) If someone else added something which the original author did not write, then it is not Scripture and 2 Tim. 3:16 does not apply.

2 | How do these points relate to the Great | Gen 12:1 | The Bible is Right | 57691 | ||
Hi Tim, I look at the passage in question in the different translations that we have on this site and all of them have Mark 16:9-20 in them, why would they put a disputed passage in the bible when most scholars disputed it? |

3 | How do these points relate to the Great | Gen 12:1 | Morant61 | 57713 | ||
Greetings The Bible is Right! I believe every translation includes the passage, but they also footnote that it is not original. As to why they include it at all, the reason is because there is a lot of textual evidence for it and the reading is ancient. However, there is also a lot of textual evidence against it, which is even older. If you study textual criticism you will quickly discover that there are many disputed passages included in Scripture. However, most of these revolve around word order, spelling, ect.... Mark 16:9-20 is different in the sense that it involves the inclusion or exclusion of a quite lengthy passage. My approach to Mark 16:9-20 is that since we can't tell for sure if it is original or not, it is best not to base doctrine on it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
