Mark 16:15

[LittleLambofJesus]

That's talking about the fallen angels who sinned, now called demons. They were cast out with Satan to the Earth.

So angels can and did sin......

Both the Father and Jesus call the angels who are in heaven holy.
Why would you think they had sinned?

DavidFirth said: ↑
No.

No.

Angels don't need to be saved. They've never sinned.

 

[Job3315]

There are fallen angels which did not kept thier first estate whatever it was . Jude 1:6

That is true, but when the Bible speaks about creation, it speaks about the physical one. Angels are spiritual beings.

 

[DavidFirth]

So angels can and did sin......

But not all of them. 2/3 of them did not sin.

 

[dreadnought]

Both the Father and Jesus call the angels who are in heaven holy. Why would you think they had sinned?

We will be holy after we stop sinning, also.

Here's a good summary, from Tekton (which is a well-known conservative apologetics site): http://www.tektonics.org/lp/markend.php.

Note that this doesn't necessarily affect its canonical status. E.g. it is virtually certain that the story of the adultress in John 8 was not in the original of John. However I would still consider it canonical.

With Mark it's more complex because there are two different added endings (well, three if you count the Freer Logion which sometimes appears in the longer ending), and they come in varying versions. The contents generally duplicate things present in other Gospels. So it's a bit hard to know just which to include. But since canonical really just means that the Church uses it, one might reasonably accept the traditional text, which is the longer ending. However evangelicals committed to the accuracy specifically of the original manuscripts probably shouldn't use anything beyond 16:8. I wouldn't generally cite anything beyond 16:8 either.

Found something looking at the topic of these verses in Mark which should not be there .
