Let me take a stab at it first. Mark 16: 9-20, were not in the two oldest manuscripts. I wouldnt make any doctrinal statements, based on those verses. I wouldnt drink poison, or hold poisonous snakes either.

OK, so what did we have in the oldest manuscripts and which Chapter and verse did the manuscripts end?
