    Who was the mysterious young man?

    That I agree with. There is reason for mentioning him. Reason I do not yet know.

    Who was the mysterious young man?

    In Mark Chapter 15, verses 51 to 52, who was the young man who fled naked as Jesus was arrested? I never even read that before I am now reading in my KJ Bible.

    Forgotten persons in the Bible

    Mark chapter 12, verses 28 to 35. It is a scribe, maybe a humble but certainly very perceptive man, who has this most important conversation. He it is that has watched the Sadducees trying to trick Jesus and when nobody is listening, I imagine, he discreetly comes to Jesus and asks him a vital...

    Do you look upon your death as the end?

    I too worry about the mode of death. It's only natural to do so and I pray for God's mercy.

    Do you look upon your death as the end?

    This is what I presume non- believer's do but Christians do not. Death to an atheist must be a full stop, nothing at all afterwards. Death as meaningless, therefore life the same? Like a machine once switched on then off. A bleak view indeed. Jesus Christ transformed the point of death into...

    Explanation about the leavened ones

    In Mark Chapter 8. Verses 14 to 21. Just like the disciples, I simply do not understand what Jesus meant. He talks of the leavened of the Pharisees and of Herod, then about the numbers of loaves with which the thousands were fed. Could someone please clarify this for me.

    If Jesus Joined This Forum . . .

    What a brilliant question! I hope with all my heart He would find me a humble true believer.

    What did Jesus mean when he said - 'a prophet is not without honour except in his own country and among his own kin and in his own house'. I've never understood what he is saying. Why did his own closest neighbours and village not accept Him?

    Honouring thy parents

    In Mark Chapter 7, V10 - 12. What does Jesus mean? It is about honouring one's parents. I think it is the difference between the law of Moses and the interpretation by the Pharisees of how to respect parents. Yet I find it hard to decipher.

    Disciples' hardened hearts about miracles

    Jesus must wonder all the time exactly how stupid we can be. He couldn't actually have done more for us and still people choose not to believe. If feeding 5000 with almost nothing is not a miracle, what is?

    Why was marrying brother's wife unlawful?

    So was divorce not acceptable? Forgive my curiosity.

    Why was marrying brother's wife unlawful?

    Thankyou. So was this illegal or immoral or both?

    I never try to memorise. I see no reason to. Just focus on understanding.

    Disciples' hardened hearts about miracles

    In Mark Chapter 6 verses 52 it says the disciples 'considered not' the miracle of the loaves: for their hearts were hardened'. What is the meaning and connotation of this? It seems incredible that they were not impressed by the feeding of the 5000.

    Strictly Miscellaneous

    In the Lord's Prayer we pray 'thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven '. My question is, is God's will really done in heaven? Didn't the devil disobey and get cast out, didn't a third of the angels go with him and become the demons that are part of his evil army? I am unsure where in the...

    Why was marrying brother's wife unlawful?

    In Mark Chapter 6, verses 17 - 18 John the Baptist had told King Herod he couldn't marry his brother's wife. How was that ever unlawful? Assuming his brother was dead. Why was John interfering with the king's matters anyway? Seems a shame to die for such a matter. Just clarify please.

    Filled with anger and fatigue

    Absolutely, I need to control the anger inside me when people treat me badly. I automatically stay quiet because I hate confrontation, I just want a quiet life. Yet inside I seethe. I know that negative energy is draining my vitality and producing disease. Knowing that just makes me more angry...
