While all evidence, External & Internal, points to 16:8 as the original ending:
Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid For. Confirmation 16:8 Original
Christian Bible Scholarship (CBS) has recently increased its efforts for the last two thousand years, pricking against the galiloads, to try and change the direction of 16:8, going through the stop signs and avoiding "Mark's"/Paul's ticket to Heaven. Traditionally CBS has relied on denial/avoidance of 16:8 but due to improved CBS sholarship, CBS now confesses that 16:8 is original. Related to this, with CBS also accepting that GMark was the first Canonical Gospel, there has been a CBS Christlash trying to explain why the original Canonical Gospel, like the Tin son of man, lacked a Christian heart, a post resurrection narrative reunion (so to speak).
In order to try and argue that the words of 16:8 do not mean what the words of 16:8 mean and present us with Fake Good News, CBS now relies on two major literary works:
- 1) A collection of Gospel writings titled They Never Wrote That
and
2) A collection of Patristic writings titled They Never Said That

This is of course ridiculous/comical or as Brown would say, "fantastic", because:
