I hope you had a chance to read all that was written, before faith no more censored it for a bogus reason. appearently i am no longer allowed to respond line by line on this web site.
All I can remember was your response to what we were talking about with respect to Mark ending at 16:8. If I remember correctly you weren't satisfied with my response because you assumed I grabbed something off Google as a response (correct me if I'm wrong). I think you also thought I was disagreeing that Mark ended at 16:8.

Any further evidence of this from supposed witnesses like in Matthew and Luke? Nope. That is the stuff that was edited in. So Mark leaves us hanging with no resurrected Jesus, only mere hearsay from this young man that he is resurrected.So when I said 'it would help your case a bit if this were actually true' I was talking about Mark having an account of the resurrection. I wasn't disputing the fact that Mark ends at 16:8. On the contrary, because it ends at 16:8 all we're left with is an empty tomb and some young man claiming that Jesus is risen. That's it... hearsay from this young man and not an actual account of a risen Messiah.
