    Why would the Holy Spirit preserve the true ending of Mark in Vaticanus and Siniaticus and keep them hidden from the world for 1500 years? ... It was not until the the middle of the 1800's that those two documents were made available to the world!

    John MacArthur also teaches false prophecy pertaining to the 70th week of the 70 week prophecy, attributing the 70th week as still yet future. The truth is, ALL 70 weeks were fulfilled as of 34AD

      The method is disingenuous. That's pretty much how they dated the Gospels to be after 60/70AD.
      1. Presuppose naturalism is true, hence you reject any sort of prophetic message
      2. Discover an event that corresponds with a prophecy
      3. Pressuppose the prophecy is already false and attribute the text to be written after the event has taken place
      4. Still believe that your scholarship title means anything despite using little to no critical analysis

    Even if the Grace to You staff knows MacArthur is wrong, they will never challenge him because he is one of those media preachers who is treated as if he is God on Earth among us! Plus these preachers do not make any money on using the King James Bible for their commentaries as publishers pay them well to push the modern versions.

    The last 12 verses of Mark are omitted from only 2 MSS, codex Vaticanus and codex Sinaiticus. Every other extant MSS which contains the gospel of Mark has the Last 12 verses of Mark. Tatian's Diatessaron which was in wide circulation by 170 AD contains the last 12 verses of Mark. The evidence for the last 12 verses of Mark is ancient and vast. By my calculation, that is 255 years before codex Sinaiticus was truncated at Mark 16:8.
    The last 12 verses are in the Peshitta (the Syriac version of the New Testament in the Syriac dialect of Aramaic). “The Peshito is referred by common consent to the second century of our era and is found to contain the verses in question” John Burgon Dean of Oxford college 1881.

    When one reads the Gospels it’s obvious that Jesus raised his disciples and then sent them out to declare that the Kingdom of God has arrived, He also commanded them to pray for the sick and cast out devils. This was recorded in several places in the Gospels so this is consistent with Jesus exhortation in the longer version of Mark’s Gospel. To suggest otherwise is extremely misleading and misguided, shame on MacArther! What’s he going to do when he stands before the throne of God 😖

    After Diocletian's persecution ended and Constantine gained power and made Christianity a sanctioned religion there was a hiatus from persecution until his 50 MSS were supplied by Eusebius. After that anyone who clung to the traditional text were persucuted and killed and their MSS burned. Which helps to explain why there aren't any ancient traditional greek MSS surviving. This caused the Italian Christians to flee to the vadios (the valleys of the Italian Alps) where they held out against Roman empire's persecution (which morphed into the Roman Catholic Church) for 1000 years. These Waldensian (vadios) Christians faithfully preserved the traditional text in the italic version until the Reformation and beyond. Martin Luther used there vernacular bible to help construct his German bible. God did indeed preserve his word to all generations. Psalm 12:6-7.

    James,
    Great information regarding textual evidence. We disagree when you begin to degrade the Christian character of another. Pastor John believes in the NASB as God's written word. I stand with you in doctrine, but our differences with the Modern Critical Text are not salvific in nature.
    John MacArthur stood by faith in the word of God and defeated a corrupt nation, giving all glory to the true God, our savior Jesus.

    I Just found out that there are older Document accounts of Mark 16:9-20 in a video from Matthew Everhard. older than that which Pastor Macarthur believes are the oldest, and by over 100 years! Justin Martyr 165 AD and Irenaeus AD 180, both mention the long version of Mark. This Proves that MacArthur's belief that the documents that he sites, as the oldest references of Marks original text, thus making the short version the original text, are in fact incorrect. The long Version Of mark seem to have been around much longer than he was aware of. Why the other manuscripts disregarded the full text is strange. Mark 16: 9-20 seems to me to be the more likely Original text by means of its age. Only God Knows, but we can always trust in the inerrant Word of God and that Every word was Inspired of the Holy Spirit. Including Mark 16:9-20! Remember, Pastor MacArthur is a Brother in Christ who is also not Perfect, just like us. We are all sinners, saved by The Grace of God. we all make mistakes. He is still one of the most Respected Preachers and Teachers of The Word of God, teaching it`s Unapologetic Truth and Accuracy, that there is. God Bless Pastor MacArthur.
