The lists you publish are very helpful, and thanks for taking the time to compile them. It's likely more time-consuming than just making unsubstantiated statements, but it's so much more convincing! The last paragraph of this article made me smile.<br /><br />"Just Imagine", you could try the book Differences Between Bible Versions, by Gary Zeolla. It's in its third edition. I wish it would have been given to a good editor before it was published, but it's a relatively good book, nevertheless, on the KJV-only issue. Or if you have lots of time and like lists and lists of words and references, you could try Rick Norris' The Unbound Scriptures. Finding the right book is important, since you don't want to take a person from being KJV-only to being CT-only, with all of its inconsistencies.<br /><br />Thanks for writing, James.<br />MatthewMatthew Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13392983543124826157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346409181794331060.post-21172205717980332772019-03-14T15:55:18.447-04:002019-03-14T15:55:18.447-04:00Jesus was crucified and buried on preparation day ...Jesus was crucified and buried on preparation day , so we have 1 day in the Tomb before sabbath sundown friday then sabbath saturday through to sundown saturday , then sabbath over new day first day after subdown saturday. 3 days in tomb therefore.<br /><br /><br />Sabbath being over now the third day Jesus now can rise but must rise on this the third day before dawn when still dark yet . With dawn approaching in time but still dark. As marks gospel is forged after verse 8 and also we see it was tampered with as Marks gospel contradicts the three's witness of it being still dark by the spirit of truth speaking it being near dawn but not yet dawn but instead dark as John by the spirit of truth states .<br /><br />The lie<br />Berean Literal Bible<br />And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb, the sun having arisen They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb"?<br /><br />Those words to end Marks Gospel with a resurrection account with the sun having risen when the women reached the Tomb are Vatican fraud words added by the Mother of harlots for purposes of sun worship instead of the worship of the true light Jesus christ the son of God <br />https://biblehub.com/mark/16-2.htm<br /><br /> The truth is it was still dark , yet as the other two accounts state as dawn time approached<br />John 20:1<br />The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.<br />https://biblehub.com/john/20-1.htm<br /><br />This is where Marks Gospel ends<br />https://biblehub.com/blb/mark/15.htm <br /><br />46And having bought a linen cloth, having taken Him down, he wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which was cut out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb. 47And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph were watching where He was laid.<br /><br /><br />5And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it<br /><br /><br />Jesus rose from the dead while it was still dark and was born while it was dark<br /><br />8And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by NIGHT. 9And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared with great fear. 10And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring good news to you of great joy, which will be to all the people. 11For TODAY in the City of David a Savior has been born to you, who is Christ the Lord. 12And this is the sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths, and lying in a manger.”<br /><br />13And suddenly there came with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:<br /><br />14“Glory to God in the highest,<br />and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased!”<br /><br />The shepherds at night are told it was that same day Jesus had been born. It being night meant after sundown which was a new day, so Jesus was born at nighttime on that new day.(a new day for Jews started after sundown i.e , evening , dark , at night)<br /><br /><br /><br />And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.<br /><br />For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and TRUTH<br /><br />Also doctrinally the last part of the forgery of mark has Jesus saying he who does not believe shall be condemned which is a verdict after judgment not before judgment, the true doctrine is as we read in johns gospel, that those who believe are not judged and those who do not believe are judged already ( the process of decision being already underway) until the last judgment where the verdict condemnation or blessings will be given. So the fraud ending of marks gospel is clear based upon doctrine contradiction and not only on the basis of textual criticism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346409181794331060.post-11511304632432295712019-03-02T06:17:37.669-05:002019-03-02T06:17:37.669-05:00There was an interesting debate concerning this en...There was an interesting debate concerning this ending between Jonathan Sheffield and Richard Carrier: https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/14997OrangeHunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11667950669102132436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346409181794331060.post-54026162495525279242019-03-01T18:42:18.676-05:002019-03-01T18:42:18.676-05:00Thank you James.
