If you had followed the crumbs back through Biblical Criticism & History Forum – earlywritings.com, you would have found the reddit was ultimately generated in response to: “Mark 16:9-20 as Forgery or Fabrication” by Richard @academia.edu.

This story might help too:

I’m from an upright RC family dripping in priests, nuns, Jumbulance drivers, and multiple times multi pilgrims to Lourdes and the like. Between my 1st communion and Confirmation I devoured several volumes of the Brittanica (Another thing my family drips in is teachers!); so it was in Catechesis the resemblance of Catholicism to the husk of a mystery cult occured to me.

Later on I came across G. A. Wells’ books in Stockport Central Library and took up his suggestion of reading Paul’s epistles keeping in mind they were the FIRST known Xtian writings.

Jesus went Pfft!

Now I’m not completely au fait with modern RC practice; but there was good reason the Church always kicked up a fuss about the Bible being in the native tongue and the laity being able to read it for themselves – the Bible is its’ own worst enemy.

Don’t push your own views but make sure the otherside of the argument is readily accessible. Natural curiosity should be left to do the rest.

Yer man Pearce also co-authors highly regarded YA fiction aimed at cultivating young minds, you might give that a punt too – The Curse of the Maya.

Don’t let them walk over you.

Yeah, the stock seems to be flowing. But we are almost at war again… So there is that.

I just checked, and Amazon France says they will let you order and “ship on supply.” This is a smarter way to handle the stock underflow problem. I doubt it will add more than a few days to a week to delivery. And possibly no more than a day. It depends on where they are sourcing supply, e.g. if from U.S. factories the delay will be longer than if there is an E.U. or U.K. production source…and the French navy doesn’t start sinking & shooting down British cargo vessels. 😉

Does it say they don’t have it at all, or only that it is out of stock? Because the latter means they will have stock soon.

That can happen within hours, FYI. Pandemic labor issues have created weird instabilities in logistics for Amazon, in several product streams but especially books. But they aren’t traditional sourcing delays; books now are publish-on-demand, and orders can be swift enough to try and catch up with rushes on supply, that gaps of only a few hours might exist when their computer claims they don’t have any to sell. And even at most a day or two (it depends on how they have set the parameters in their computer which actually does all the stock ordering, as executives setting those up try to “guess” at future demand flows).

Waiting for a restock.

There is no reference to “on the way.” So, no. That’s just more made-up apologetics, inserting into the text what isn’t there.

In reality, the women don’t tell anyone on the way.

When you read the Greek, does it really say something like:

quote: Note that the underlying Greek is a double negative. In general in Greek and specifically for “Mark” (author) the double negative is used for emphasis. So here, a better translation would be, “They did not tell anyone. Yes, I mean “anyone”.”
