As I continue on the path less traveled, a song that marked my first year in school resonates within the confines of my cerebral cortex. Walking with Jesus, Walking every day, walking all the way.

Mark 16:8 seems much too abrupt for an ending to the Gospel of Mark. The textual evidence indicates that none of the four endings we now have after Mark 16:8 are original, in other words the original ending was lost. The ending may have …

The seven spirits of God are actually associated with the seven lamps of fire and later in John’s revelation, to the Lamb’s seven horns and seven eyes, see Rev, 5:6. We would appear to be talking about spiritual angels here, as opposed to …
