Mark 16:9-20 & I John 5:7-8
If the earliest known manuscripts of the Gospel of Mark do not contain Mark 16:9-20, how do you feel about them being excluded from the Bible? Are you okay with possible "interpolated" verses in your Bible?
I John 5:7-8 also contain some words that aren't found in the oldest copies of the First Epistle of John. In fact there isn't a Greek manuscript that contains these words before the 1500s! That's only 100 years before the KJV! Are you okay with these words excluded from the Bible?
