So God did not exercise the same care with the copies that you claim He did with the originals. Makes no sense.

Why God preserved His Word in the manner that He did and why it does make sense has already been explained.

The point here is that your rationalization does not hold water.

This is a very easy issue to resolve. This text is not inspired text. It was not written by Mark. Everything after Mark 16:8 is extrabiblical and was preserved in error. Therefore it should not be taught or discussed as part of the Bible. If you have a good study Bible, you'll see the notation after Mark 16:8. So, the bottom line is, that this text is false and should be completely ignored.

I tread on serpents fairly regularly. I have prayed for my own sickness and seen it go away shortly thereafter. I used to drink the poison koolaid served up by organized churches - it didn't kill me, but it did stunt my growth for a while. I don't speak in tongues, but did receive a prophecy in tongues and with another interpreting many years ago. It's real - even though there are a lot of fake tongues speakers.
