Looking for Jesus according to Mark
- Thread starter JLG
- Start date
- I usually take biblehub. As everywhere there are many mistakes. But there is an interlinear and a dictionary at the same time!
- By the way, do you know the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5?

That is dodging my question. But that is you admitting you were very unwise in what you said.
Concerning your question, Dad has spoken to me about it. So Edify us on what He told you or what you think. And then i will from my side do Edifying too on what our "Abba Father/Daddy" Jehovah, told me about it. We all do Edifying in growing in our Gifts. We are no "one man shows". Where you have to buy your certificate from a seminary and then are worshiped for your "Rabbi title".
1 Cor. 14: 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
8 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
- Apparently, it is important to remember more facts about the apostle Paul and the world in which he lived!
- We should never forget the context even if everyone does it all the time in all areas!
- Everyone acts as if the Bible was today’s book!
- So I will continue to say it again and again!
- The Bible tells us about people who were completely different!
- The Bible is written mainly in two languages which have nothing to do with each other, ancient Hebrew very limited because it was people who raised cattle (a word can be translated by several words in modern languages), ancient Greek extremely rich because it belonged to the most developed culture that the world has known (the language is so rich that there is no equivalent in modern languages)!
- The Bible was written on parchments, we must forget the books we know today!
- There were no chapters, verses or punctuation! (They simply wrote down all the messages God was giving them so that readers could receive them in full, not in little bits. It's a bit like delivering an important letter to someone; we present it to them in whole, not in little bits.)
- The apostle Paul lived during the time of the Roman Empire, which involved particular institutions, culture, economy and means of transportation that had nothing to do with ours!
- We live in a time when states seek to close in on themselves, the Roman world was a multicultural world!
- the Roman Empire had a population of 50 million inhabitants with very different statuses (Roman citizens and non-citizens, people from the cities and those from the countryside, free men and slaves, men and women, civilians and soldiers)!
- Rome had a population of approximately 1,000,000, Ephesus (650,000), Antioch of Syria (500,000), Tarsus (300,000) and Jerusalem (25,000)!
- In the Empire, there was a common culture, people spoke and thought Greek, Latin would not become a universal language until much later!

- Now let’s get deeper!
- In Acts 9, Luke concentrates on Saul’s conversion, his preaching work and his stay in Jerusalem!
- He mainly mentions Damascus and Jerusalem and at the end Caesarea and
Tarsus !
- When he speaks about time, he only mentions days (three days, several days, after many days)
Now let’s have a look at Acts 9:20
[Saul] promptly began to proclaim
ἐκήρυσσεν (ekēryssen)
Verb - Imperfect Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular
Strong's 2784: To proclaim, herald, preach. Of uncertain affinity; to herald, especially divine truth.
- We see promptly in English but in Ancient Greek we only get a verb !
- There is no adverb of time !
- Nothing is precise !

Pekka said:
Why do men do the opposite of what Yah.weh want?
- My answer:
- If we think about animals living in small or big groups, we may take into account the fact that dominant males want to get all females!
- They want power!
- We find hierarchy!
- It is never enough!
- They look for their own satisfaction, their own desires!
- If we think about men, we can say the same!
- When some angels went down to the earth and became demons, they started behaving the same way!
- When we think about the devil, we can say it is the same!
- He is jealous of Yah.weh!
- He wants human beings to worship him!
- He is quite successful but there will always be some human beings that will stay faithful to Yah.weh!
- Why do the majority of angels stay faithful to Yah.weh?
- It means everlasting life and the opportunity to work for the creator of the universe and the source of incredible wisdom!
- What about Adam and Eve?
- Two different cases!
- Eve was attracted by her own desire and she listened to the devil who told her she would become like a god!
- Adam didn’t want to lose his wife!
- He chose his wife instead of Yah.weh!
- He lost everlasting life and condemned his descendants to death!
- His descendants have always done the same thus there is no difference!
- So the real question is why do some human beings stay faithful to Yah.weh?
- It means everlasting life and the opportunity to work for the creator of the universe and the source of incredible wisdom!
- Our society is extremely primitive and superficial!
- it is based on man’s tradition opposed to Yah.weh’s wisdom!
- Men took advantage of Yah.weh’s patience!
- But it has limits!
- But men will have the possibility to recover perfection!
- And Yah.weh won’t tolerate any rebellion!
- Then we will see with our eyes what paradise means!
- Something which is totally impossible to imagine with our human limitations and constantly watching men’s failures!

- It means everlasting life and the opportunity to work for the creator of the universe and the source of incredible wisdom!
- Our society is extremely primitive and superficial!
- it is based on man’s tradition opposed to Yah.weh’s wisdom!
- Men took advantage of Yah.weh’s patience!
- But it has limits!
- But men will have the possibility to recover perfection!
- And Yah.weh won’t tolerate any rebellion!
- Then we will see with our eyes what paradise means!
- Something which is totally impossible to imagine with our human limitations and constantly watching men’s failures!
