Yes, you are. You are jumping to the conclusion that Mark 16:16 has nothing to
do with free will.

And your not doing that very well either.

No, he is not.

No, I am not backing you up. That you should claim I have is truly amazing. It
was YOU, not Gary, who claimed that Mark 16:16 has nothing to do with free will,
and it was YOU, not Gary, who tried to claim that this follows from the use of
the indicative in Mark 16:16. But it does not follow.

>Gary should take note.

No one has ever said otherwise. So what? There is more to the sentence
that this one part. The entire sentence has to be translated, not just
one piece -- and the bigger piece affects the smaller piece.

The Jews tried to stone Him for what He said.
