Are you sure they were quoting from Mark 16: 9-20? How do you know that it was not the other way around? That the author of Mark 16:9-20 quoted those parts that are found elsewhere?

Hi Paidion, Thanks for the link at bible-researcher.com. I enjoyed the info. and noticed that Scrivener seemed to think highly of John Burgon.

The book I have been reading is by by John Burgon of Oxford, written about 150 years ago. Burgon thoroughly refutes every argume...

Statistics inform us that, surprisingly, over the last four years about twice as many whites have been shot by police compared to blacks, in the USA. But then whites outnumber blacks by almost five to one. One the other hand ...

Are you looking for the definition according to a Greek lexicon or a place in scripture that says "this is what a covenant is"?

Hi In2joy, You wrote: tell me what is meant by a covenant of law and a covenant of grace (that is found nowhere in scripture). Seems to me that the scriptures clearly establish that there have been two covenants: Hebrews 8:7 7. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no ...
