Bro. Tim:

I hate to pass judgement on what's "genuine" in the Word. I'm afraid someday
somone will find a copy of Acts with chapter 2 missing or something and
we'll all be in a tizzy. The verse says theses 3 are 1. Three what and one
what? Catholics would say three persons, one essence. Some Apostolics would
say three manifestations, one God. It depends on what you have the numbers
represent.

There are many who dismiss Mark 16:12-20 on the same principals of textual
criticism. I certainly don't want to lose those!
