Hey guys, I was wondering what you thought of all the different additions that are purported to have been added about the Scriptures. Here is a list. Some of you might want to say which ones you think were really originally there or not:
Mark (the earliest of the Gospels) 16:9-20 (which first speak about the Post-mortem appearances of Christ.)
John 7:53-8:11 : Story of the Adulteress Woman, apparently is not found in any of the earlier manuscripts
1 Corinthians 14:34-35: the Pauline command of silencing women in Church (and permitting them to ask their husbands at home).
1 John 5:7: Known as the Comma Johanneum, the one verse that explicitly expounds the Doctrine of the Trinity, said to first have been found in the fourth century.
Put on top of this all the differences between the NU-Texts, and M-Text manuscipts found in the first century. For example in John 1:18, the NU-Text reads: the only begotten GOD, while later manuscripts simply read Son. You can at least find five variations of this nature in every chapter of the Bible.
