Build -A- Teaching: Gospel of Mark Chapter 4 [ Page 2 ] Parable of the Sower {{What Excuses}} ???

Mic 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what [is] good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

One of my favorite verses. If we want mercy and forgiveness from God, We have to show it!!!

Jesus Is Risen ... Alleluia !!!

Mark Chapter 3: Build -A- Teaching!!!

[link to www.blueletterbible.org]

Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand.

Mar 3:2 Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus' enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man's hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.

Mar 3:3 Jesus said to the man with the deformed hand, "Come and stand in front of everyone."

Mar 3:4 Then he turned to his critics and asked, "Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?" But they wouldn't answer him.

Mar 3:5 He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, "Hold out your hand." So the man held out his hand, and it was restored!

Mar 3:6 At once the Pharisees went away and met with the supporters of Herod to plot how to kill Jesus.


Look at the beautful Love that God shows. Once again Jesus is a blessing, a teacher, a healer and He did so in the face of evil. He knew these men wanted to kill Him. He knew that they would eventually succeed. But, He heals the man anyway.... even though it would eventually cost Him His life. Jesus Christ did not shrink away from the thread of bodily harm. He revealed His love by remaining faithful to His Father and to those who trusted in Him.

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him. They stood outside and sent word for him to come out and talk with them. 32 There was a crowd sitting around Jesus, and someone said, “Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you.”

33 Jesus replied, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” 34 Then he looked at those around him and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers. 35 Anyone who does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”


WoW... We are brothers and sisters of Almighty God !!!

What do you think about Mark Chapter Three???

:bumpz:

Good Morning !!!

:coffeetime:

Mark Chapter 3 has Jesus angry over the fact that some had hardened their hearts against Him...

Mat 12:34 You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say.

Mat 12:35 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.

Mat 12:36 And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak.

Mat 12:37 The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you."

Thread: Jesus Christ Teaches about Evil People Saying "You Are From BELOW"

Luke 6:45 A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.

Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not.

24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I Am who I claim to be,[e] you will die in your sins.”

John 8:23-24

He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. 11 He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. 12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.

John 1:10-13

Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s because you can’t even hear me! 44 For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.

John 8:43-44

What do you think about Mark Chapter 3?

Mat 12:34 "Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Mat 23:33 "Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?

Hi OP,

Without giving you too much grief, How can you keep using the NIV version of the Bible? Surely with as much as you have studied the word, you know that this translation has altered the words of Christ. I couldn't use NIV in good faith and teach others the word with it. It IS easier to read, but interpreted by people with less than good intentions, I'm sure...

Don't get me wrong, I think it's wonderful that you have chosen this particular site to minister on. Some people here could really learn to open themselves to the word. I just personally think that you should cross reference between multiple versions to show people the truth.

Bless you in all you do!

Friend

Actually I've said many times here that i prefer translations waaaay more than versions. I think i usually post a translation when i do post Scripture although i do even check to see what the versions are saying.

May the Lord Jesus keep you in His peace!

:colorbump:

The Gospel of Mark is a great book in the study of demonology, casting out demons as Jesus did and self-deliverance.


Here are a couple of friends that have great sites on these matters.


God is still in the healing business.

Mark Chapter 4
[link to www.biblegateway.com]

Once again Jesus began teaching by the lakeshore. A very large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat. Then he sat in the boat while all the people remained on the shore. 2 He taught them by telling many stories in the form of parables, such as this one:

3 “Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seed. 4 As he scattered it across his field, some of the seed fell on a footpath, and the birds came and ate it. 5 Other seed fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seed sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow. 6 But the plant soon wilted under the hot sun, and since it didn’t have deep roots, it died. 7 Other seed fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants so they produced no grain. 8 Still other seeds fell on fertile soil, and they sprouted, grew, and produced a crop that was thirty, sixty, and even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” 9 Then he said, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

10 Later, when Jesus was alone with the twelve disciples and with the others who were gathered around, they asked him what the parables meant.

11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secret[a] of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables for everything I say to outsiders, 12 so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled:

‘When they see what I do,
they will learn nothing.
When they hear what I say,
they will not understand.
Otherwise, they will turn to me
and be forgiven.’”

13 Then Jesus said to them, “If you can’t understand the meaning of this parable, how will you understand all the other parables? 14 The farmer plants seed by taking God’s word to others. 15 The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message, only to have Satan come at once and take it away. 16 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. 17 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word. 18 The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word, 19 but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced. 20 And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted
