In this episode, I’m joined by Ryan Denton to talk about hyper-cessationism—what it is, how it differs from historic Reformed cessationism, and where it stands in relation to moderate continuationism. We dive into what the Reformers and Puritans actually believed about prophecy, dreams, and divine revelation. Did they really believe all gifts had ceased? The answer might surprise you.

📚 We also explore how today’s popular cessationism may be more rigid—and less biblical—than what the Westminster divines taught.

In this follow-up episode, I’m joined again by New Testament scholar James Snapp Jr.—and this time, we go deep. If Part One was focused on responding to Wes Huff’s video arguing against the long ending of Mark, Part Two is all about the positive case.

Snapp walks us through a wide range of evidence supporting the authenticity of Mark 16:9–20, including:

• Greek manuscript data

• Patristic citations

• Internal consistency with Mark’s style

• And why it absolutely deserves to be in your Bible

This episode includes detailed analysis, historical context, and even references to the slides presented in the YouTube version.

In this episode, I’m joined by New Testament scholar and author James Snapp Jr. to tackle the controversy surrounding the so-called "long ending" of Mark’s Gospel—Mark 16:9–20.

This was originally intended to be a single episode, but as we dug deeper into Snapp’s responses and the overwhelming amount of evidence he brings to the table, it became clear this needed to be a two-parter.

Part One is focused on directly responding to the claims made by Wes Huff in his recent video arguing against the authenticity of Mark 16:9–20.

Part Two (coming soon) will feature a full presentation from James Snapp Jr. as he lays out his positive case for why the long ending is original—complete with manuscript data, early church references, and more.

Whether you’re a Bible nerd, a church history fan, or just curious about one of the most debated New Testament passages, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
