Shabir Ally on Tenacity
1 view
Shabir Ally makes claims regarding 1 John 5:7 and Mark 16:9-20 demonstrating that at the time of our debate he had yet to read my work on textual criticism.

- of God as it exists today. Now James has said that in fact the errors that have been put into the copies have been tenacious and they have stuck with us.
- 00:09
- I hope James realizes how true that statement is. In fact some of the errors have stuck with us and are now represented in our
- 00:16
- Bibles. Sometimes they are marked off as being doubtful passages. The John in comma, a verse which is so called and is located at 1
- 00:25
- John chapter 5 verse 7 in the King James version of the Bible, says that there are three that bear record in heaven and that these three are one.
- 00:33
- But now it is almost universally accepted, except for King James followers, it is almost universally accepted that this verse is a later insertion into the
- 00:44
- Bible and this is why it has been removed from almost every modern Bible. If you look at the New International Version Bible for example you will find a note at that point showing that this is an insertion and it has now been removed once again.
- 00:56
- But some others are still there very glaring, large portions. For example the closing passage of the
- 01:02
- Gospel according to Mark. The earliest manuscript we have of Mark ends at chapter 16 verse number 8.
- 01:09
- Verses number 9 to 20 therefore, which you will find in many modern Bibles, even if they are not marked off to be so, is a later addition into the
- 01:18
- Gospel according to Mark and therefore this is of dubious and questionable origins. So I hope
- 01:24
- James understands to what extent his statement is true, that the errors are in fact tenacious.
