1 | believeth and is baptized | Mark 16:16 | BradK | 222917 | ||
Hello lightedsteps, I wouldn't take steve's reply as trivializing Mark 16. Keep in mind there is doubt as to the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20! This passage has been called a later addition to the Gospel of Mark by most New Testament scholars in the past century. One of the major reasons for doubting the authenticity of the ending is that it does not appear in some of the oldest existing manuscripts, and it is reported to be absent from many others in ancient times by early writers of the Church. I'd caution basing one's doctrine from such a passage :-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi BradK Thanks for the input, but to quell any misconception that may have arisen, I am not of the school that espouses, that our salvation comes any other way other than through the blood of Jesus for the remission of sins. For by Grace are we saved. I can assure you, I do not base my doctrine of salvation upon such verses as Mk.16:16 All I was asking, was for some reasonable explanation, as to how it is to be understood, how can it be explained, and all I was getting was. It doesn't belong, or what was said isn't what was meant, or it's an addendum to a book that isn't accredited to the person who did write it, by a person or persons unknown, and therefore not to be accepted as any part of the canon of scripture. So I felt before any further misconceptions, I would withdraw from the discussion. But I owed you some sort of explanation, hope it will suffice. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
