New subscriber. I like your vids. I don’t agree 100% but this is a YouTube channel I see that does things other ones don’t. Nice.
MHM EEKK What don’t you agree on?
I’m surprised you’re only new here
Also, what don’t you agree on?
+Mi Les +Sab Cayen Their video on Mark’s Gospel says that Mark 16:9-20 was forged. This is false.
+MHM EEKK
The two earliest parchment codices, Vaticanus B and Sinaiticus, plus 2 minuscules and several versions and manuscripts, do not contain verses 9-20. Two important early Christian writers testify that these verses are not found in Mark: Eusebius (Quaestiones ad Marinum I) says that they are not in “accurate” copies of Mark and are missing from “almost all” manuscripts; Jerome (Epistle CXX.3, ad Hedibiam) testifies that almost all Greek manuscripts of his time lack vss. 9-20. Many manuscripts that do have these verses “have scholia stating that older Greek copies lack them,” and other textual witnesses add “conventional signs used by scribes to mark off a spurious addition to a literary text.”
There are also three variant endings of Mark in circulation. Our vss. 9-20 are the most common, but there is also a “short” ending, and seven Greek manuscripts with both the long and short ending. However, this particular evidence may be too late to be of any relevance.
The above evidence is absolutely decisive by the canons of textual criticism (whether secular or Biblical). Indeed the internal evidence noted below is not so much proof as it is supplementation in light of the above. No argument for the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20 (hereafter, M16) can move without refuting each of the points above.
+Mi Les Sorry bud, but your claims aren’t going to be simply accepted.
For one, 99.5% of all manuscripts contain Mark 16:9-20. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are both 4th century manuscripts, however we have three independent authors from the 100’s AD who quote Mark 16:9-20, making the extraordinarily early testimony of the veracity of these verses overwhelming.
“Two important early Christian writers testify that these verses are not found in Mark: Eusebius (Quaestiones ad Marinum I) says that they are not in “accurate” copies of Mark and are missing from “almost all” manuscripts; Jerome (Epistle CXX.3, ad Hedibiam) testifies that almost all Greek manuscripts of his time lack vss. 9-20.”
LOL. You have the quote of Eusebius entirely out of context. If you read it in its context, you’d realize Eusebius was trying to explain a contradiction in this passage, and he was giving two possible solutions to solving the contradiction. One was that Mark 16:9-20 is inauthentic because it is lacked in some manunscripts, but the second reason given by Eusebius does in fact accept them as authentic. As for Jerome, this one is outright false. Jerome was just regurgitating what Eusebius said, and even quotes Mark 16:14 later on in his writings anyways — Jerome accepted the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20.
As I said earlier, there are three independent quotations of Mark 16:9-20 all as early as the 100’s AD in the second century, far earlier than the first manuscripts about this passage. These are Irenaeus, Justin Martyr and Tatian. In the third century, you have FOUR witnesses. Tertullian, Cyprian, Gospel of Nicodemus (apocrypha) and De Repabtismate. In the FOURTH CENTURY, which is when Sinaiticus and Vaticanus finally appear, you have SIX WITNESSES. I could name all of them, but this is getting tiring. As you can see, the overwhelming evidence authenticates this passage, the evidence otherwise remains mostly irrelevant in comparison.
The last point I’d like to make though — although the two fourth century manuscripts (Vaticanus and Sinaiticus) do not contain this passage, all three third century manuscripts (Alexandrius, Washington, Ephraemi Rescriptus) attest to its authentic nature.
LAST LAST POINT: Although Sinaiticus omits Mark 16:9-20, the fact is, in Sinaiticus at the end of the Gospel of Mark, there’s actually a blank space about exactly the size that would be required to write Mark 16:9-20. So did the Sinaiticus author know about this portion?
this is so complex even for a ‘short’ book
Jesus is God
I absolutely love, love, love this Bible Project series!
Me too! It’s amazing!
I love first John so much that I memorized it! Great video!
Are you planning some videos about main biblical persons?
what do you mean?
they have’t released holy spirit video yet
what a beautiful explanation guys!! this is the part of the new testament I like most, thanks a lot!!
Christ is the son of the Living God John is well aware since John saw the sky opened with Peter, As Moses and Elijah appeared at the day of Tabernacles Matt 17 3
John does not believe Jesus is God John believes Jesus is the messiah big difference
It’s fine apology accepted. I mean that they may have the same nature but they aren’t equal. We are being transformed into the image of Christ Cori 3:18 and we do get totally transformed are equal to Christ? No because He is our Savior we look up to him not the other way around. Just as Christ is the exact..Heb 1:3 and Looks up to the Father and His will and reveal to us who the Father is. He is the mediator. Jesus Himself said the Father is greater than I John 14:28. In this regard is why I say they are not equal. I am not equal in power and strength authority etc just because we have the same human nature. You can join the convo with jon davies in prev comments. I said other stuff to him and we can all try to understand
Akeem Olass Hi again, sorry about the long reply time. One good way to consider the diffrent aspects of God are the way we are devided. We each have diffrent aspects of ourselves, flesh, soul and spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
We are made in the image of God. “God said, Let us make man in Our image” (Genesis 1:26). Please again make reference to the wording of “our” reflecting the trinity. This reflection of God explains the trinitarian existance of humans as said in Thessalonians. That said, we were made in Gods image, not to be equal; the photo of a mountain or sky is nothing in comparison to the other. With regards to the higherachy of God, we can choose to let any part of us rule our existance but God has a set higherachy. All parts however are God so all have power beyond humans are all one of the same.
Exactly ,we are made in God’s image but we are not his equal Christ also is the exact image of God heb 1:3 hence doesn’t mean equal.
the “our” in Genesis doesn’t necessarily mean trinity. What is the set hierarchy of God?
So God has a body Christ, Soul as Father and spirit as the Holy Spirit? But all these parts makes you you i.e (jon davies) so if Christ is the body of God and the same person God he won’t refer to himself as Son of God rather God or say The Father (SOUL hypothetically for now) is greater than I and if the soul is greater then strictly speaking in the sense that God means absolute power and none greater, then the soul is the one true God . If they are the same God then who is Christ sitting at the right hand of? or has the body displaced from the soul? (hypothetically speaking)
Look if you will at Ephesians 4:4-6 maybe I misunderstood this verse.
I did have some preconceived idea about the Spirit in God(in my case the Father) though but I haven’t given it much thought . God is Spirit John 4:24 and has no flesh.
it’s fine you can take as long as you will to reply. I’m also busy with other stuff
Is it possible to get those strips in picture? just to go over them quietly. would be cool. Thanks for these series.

The Bible Project Omgosh you sell these pictures??? I had no no idea! You can expect my business!! Im so excited yes. I love your illustrations
Thank you for doing this project but you have not mentioned the main thing in the letter of John- that he is again bringing up the God’s commandments and teaches them that one who does not obey to God’s law has not met Him. Please keep the commandments and have loyalty to Christ. Our endurance is based upon keeping the Commandments of God (all of them) and have loyalty to Christ, please read the ending of chapter 12 and 14 in the Book of revelation. I hope that glory of our Lord is with us.
This project is amazing and for the glory if God 👏
This is AWESOME!!!!! What a great idea!!!! Thank you! Marian
3:47 But isn’t the Holy Spirit also God?
I love their way of explaining things in their various videos, beautiful art and also verbal delivery 🙂
Jesus is not God Himself.
Praise God !!! May God richly bless you to continue spreading His perfect word ! JESUS THE TRUE LIVING GOD
