supernatural Jesus not in early Mark's gospel?
Could someone help with some info on the claims made in the following toon?
 Apologies for posting info by way of animation, caught my eye on b3ta.com and was wondering how accurate the info is! |

The ending of Mark is missing in the earliest manuscripts. Some posit that since the resurrection was already known (Paul comes decades before Mark), Mark didn't need to put it in, assuming that the readers knew the rest.

Just read Mark. There's no mention of a virgin birth and it is generally accepted to be the first of the gospels.

It suffers from a common problem. I claims certain things are true when we cannot know whether they are true or not.
IOW it is religious propaganda. |
