Discuss Mark 5 Page 3

Amber,

I believe your question is a great one. God is not the author of confusion.

However, I respect others opinions and their journey with the Lord even if I disagree with their doctrine or beliefs.

For two millennia, people have been expecting the Lord to return and arguing over their beliefs.

Obviously after 40 generations (estimate), the world has yet to witness the 2nd Coming.

The Bible has never been proven to be wrong. God states, I have told you in advance, so when it happens, you will know I have spoken it. 66 books were given as proof. Other books are claimed to be part of it, but that is another discussion/distraction for another time.

The Bible claims 2 people and one member of the Godhead have ascended to Heaven. Interestingly, there were witnesses to all 3 ascensions. The Bible claims throughout, Old and New Testaments all others who have passed to be in the grave and awaiting one of the Ressurections.

For myself, I choose to believe the Scriptures instead of mankind that has been trying to change God's Word since creation.

I would recommend you take it to the Lord in prayer. Seek and ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Read the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). See Jesus' words for yourself.

Read the parables.

May you be given eyes to see, ears to hear, and may the Holy Spirit guide and teach you in all things. Blessings and Prayers.

Why does the holy spirit in Mark 5 not unlike all of Christs teaching, give us specific info. 3 things ,Christ ability too cast out demons,Christ ability to heal the long term sickness, and 3 to raise the dead, a 12 yr. old little girl! When i read the commentaries many equate mans sin in relation with all these. how we are all dead in tresspasses and sin, that because of sin we could very well become like the demoniac, we all are born with a long term sickness called sin. Mark records this exactly the way he recalls it. Is there something else we need to know? Are we suppose to look deeper into his words ? How are we to interpret scripture for all to understand. One thing is for sure that wherever Christ goes there is always something extraordinary that will happen. His life and what happens while here on earth is unbelievable. Perhaps these and all Christ miracles are stories that require faith, Faith is the real story,that he did all this and more. Faith will cast demons into hell. faith will heal us from the disease of sin, and truly faith will give us eternal life through him.

Psalms 100:4

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

1 Samuel 18:6

And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.

2 Samuel 6:5

And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

1 Chronicles 15:16

And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

2 Chronicles 5:13

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

2 Chronicles 7:6

And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

Nehemiah 12:36

And his brethren, with the MUSICAL instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

Psalms 68:25

The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

Psalms 87:7

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Psalms 150:4

Praise him with the timbrel and dance:

Their soul & spirits are with God now. Of the dead in Christ. Their bodies will be reunited, first; when they are Caught Up to Jesus in the clouds ("rapture").

Then those believers who are alive will be Caught Up, next. It will all happen in the blink of an eye.

You just blinked :) I did too.

Jesus tells us that we are asleep, when we die. he will come and resurrect us. So , why do people believe that their loved ones are in heaven, when they are asleep? You cant be in Heaven ,if he is coming to resurrect us..

Comments by Alex on the man legion living in the tombs. Legion was MANY as there are many living in the tombs under the Law. The law said the soul that sinneth shall surly die thus we are in the tombs under the law. And legion was without clothing and so are we under the law simply b/c the law exposes our sinful nature. Legion means Many script. says that Many men tried to tame legion with chains and fetters but he broke the chains and fetters to pieces and was driven OF THE DEVIL into the wilderness . ( OUTSIDE THE HOLY CITY ) THE CHAINS AND FETTERS WERE OF IRON BUT THEY WERE WEAK TO LEGION .What the law cd not do in that it WEAK thru the flesh God had to send his son in the form on sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh. The laws and commandments are strong as iron but they are Weak to the flesh meaning mans carnal mind is satans head spirit .Carnal man breaks every law and commandment to pieces just like legion broke every chain and fetter to pieces. Many men try to tame their sinful adamic nature with laws and commannments ( chains and fetters ) but we break every law and commandments to pieces. What the law cd NOT do in that it was weak thru the flesh God had to send his son in the form of sinfull flesh to condemn sin in the flesh. simply b/c the law cd not do it. Only Christ cd tame legion by his living WORD, whom the son sets free is free indeed but the law cd not set mankind free. Jesus said whosoever sins is the servant of sin thus we are not free just yet till this corruptible puts on incorruption, and this mortal puts on immortality near future.nobody can tame the beasts that lives with n us as James said all the beasts in the world has been tamed by man but the tongue can no man tame the tongue is an extention of mans carnal mind mans carnal mind is the beast.That which is born of the flesh is the beast When they brought Josephs coat to Jacob he said a wild beast has done this and he was right the 10 born of the flesh was th beasts and still true. gb

God is all powerful. He's the only wise God, the miraculous God, the incomparable God who just speaks the word and man can be made whole again. Let us all remain focus and believe that whatever we ask in His name, it shall be done.

It is worthwhile to complete things that are worth starting and ending. Smart people always do things from beginning to end.

Amen! If we would all humble ourselves and pray He will hear us and heal our nations, stay the course fear not for He alone has over come the world. We have a Mighty, Powerful, Loving, Healer, full of Mercy and Grace, we are blessed not by anything we can do but what He has done. Sinner saved by Grace through Faith, in Jesus of Nazareth . He gave us His peace. God Bless and the Lord be with you all always Amen. Sing out Praise to the Rock the unshakable, unmovable, Lord. Hallelujah I love Him

Amen. Praise God and ALWAYS give thanks to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now with COVID-19 looming all across the world, we must continue to pray for ALL our sisters and brothers. We must pray for the lost sheep and those that are hardened to God's Holy Word that they turn from their wicked ways, repent and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Truly we are living in troubling times and we MUST stay the course. Proverbs 3:5-6. Amen. Hallelujah. Praises up and blessings down. I trust you LORD and give you ALL the glory, honor and praise, today and ALL days.

The Scriptures confirm King David did not obey God even before his adultery with Bathsheba he held onto bitterness towards his wife and his revenge was not to have Children with her and than he Married Pagan Woman which God had forbidden and it was adultrey too. David Repented and than what did he ask for? Ps51:10-17 he was now a Man after God's own Heart and God knew he would be He knows It All.

Yes they knew who Jesus was but they didn't have Bibles like we do and even if they did they wouldn't have understood Scripture because they didn't have God's Wisdom which is the Principle thing in Understanding His Truth Prov4:7 through the empowering of The Holy Spirit. Satan didn't know Scripture when he tempted Jesus but Jesus did and used it to rufute him.

The devils and unclean spirits recognize Jesus right off. They know the bible better than most of us.

My daughterbTalitha named after scripture Love the Lord Jesus and the blessing of life of my beautiful daughter Talitha too

The issue of blood: Hemorrhage . The KJV Bible has given us three witnesses : Matthew 9:20 Mark 5:25 Luke 8:43.

He touched me and make me whole praise God,

verse 39, ..........Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth..... through the eyes of Jesus the girl was asleep though she was dead, never-the-less this moment in time was another moment that Jesus would demonstrate the power of GOD 2017 she died 3-times in E R yet walked out the hospital nothing new under the Sun OHoooooooo the power of Jehovah GOD .

We are all attacked daily by legions of the devil, we must live in faith that the we abide under the wing of God, pray to the Lord for wisdom and pray for those suffering and caught up in their wicked ways, that they can be delivered from those snares, we all have been lead to the word, and from our sinfulness , and we need to do the same for them, through the love of Christ

The Damon-possessed ran to Jesus when he Saw Him afar off,so that he could Worship Him. ( Mark 5:6) The Man Wanted Everything to do With The with The Son of God /The demons did not, They Cried Out Torment me not when Christ Said, Come of The Man, Thou Unclean spirit.( Mark 5:7-8) The Man Saw his Only Hope, Nothing was Going to Stop Him. The Son of God is The Only Savior. Call while He is Near.

David was a man after Gods own heart he kept the LAW TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY BUT WHEN DAVID SAW BATHSHEBA BATHIN HE BROKE EVERY LAW AND COMANDMENT TO PIECES JUST AS LEGION BROKE THE CHAINS AND THE FETTERS TO PIECES THEY WERE VERY WEAK TO LEGION,WHAT THE LAW CD NOT DO IN THAT IT WAS WEAK THRU THE FLESH GOD HAD TO SEND HIS SON TO CONDEMN SIN IN THE FLESH THE BEAST IN US CANNOT BE TAMED BY THE LAW

The man legion wanted nothin to do with Christ thats us HUMANITY, legion broke every chain and fetter to pieces HUMANITY BREAKS EVERY LAW AND COMMANDMENT TO PIECES THE SCRIPTURE SAYS MANY MEN TRIED TO TAME LEGION WITH CHAINS AND FETTERS BUT HE BROKE THE CHAINS AND FETTERS WE TRY TO TAME OUR EVIL ADAMIC NATURE WITH LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS BUT OUR EVIL SPIRIT CANNOT BE TAMED WITH LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS

THANK YOU

Verses 26-28~Even though the woman with the flow of blood had been disappointed time and time again, she did not give up hope. She kept her faith and as a result she received healing from Jesus.

In vs 39, Jesus likens the child's state of death as, "sleeping", a phrase we will hear him use again. James 2:26 tells us that without the spirit, the body is dead. Jesus says ( John 6:63) "The spirit gives life".

And in Luke 8:55, we find the act of Jesus' raising the girl, causes, "Her spirit to come again".

The spirit, returning to the little girl, brought life back into her body...

This man Legion cd not be tamed by CHAINS AND FETTERS HE BROKE THEM TO PIECES, THATS HUMANITY MEANING MANY,, WE CANNOT BE TAMED BY LAWS AND COMMANDMENTS WE BREAK EVERY LAW AND COMMANDMENTS TO PIECES,HE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE CHAINS AND FETTERS,AS MAN IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF GOD AND NEITHER INDEED CAN WE BE,WHEN DAVID SAW BATHSHEBA BATHIN AND SEDUCED HER HE BROKE EVERY COMMANDMENT TO PIECES.

Mark 5 (cont. 2); Everything about this scene; the frightening drama of the man's deliverance and healing; the panicked reaction of the people when they came out to see what had happened, and then begged the Lord that He would go away from them; the man asking if he could stay with the Lord, but being sent home rather to show his friends what God had done for him; is all full of spiritual lessons!

"The country of the Gadarenes" was in the Southeast corner of the Sea of Galilee, in the borders of Gad and Manasseh. Not exactly in a place where the Pharisees and the rich and powerful of Jerusalem held too much influence on the people; the effects of the irreligious and unclean spirit over the place no doubt had contributed to this poor man being taken by such a terrible "legion" of demons.

In chapter (4), Jesus demonstrated His power over nature. As Creator God, Jesus has the power to speak and have His words obeyed. In chapter (5), He demonstrates His power over the unseen spiritual realm, His power to heal by changing the cellular/molecular structure of our bodies, and His power to restore life to a dead body. You can believe in spiritual deliverance, healing

Are you laden with sickness in body or in soul? Come onto Jesus who has power to heal all infirmities and sin-sick souls. He did all the casting out of the devil when He was man on earth. He is the same today and evermore shall be.

Hello Irene123, and Lu2677. Irene the scripture you are referring to is in Matt. 25:41 which prove that everlasting fire or the lake of fire was prepared for the Devil and his angels. Lu2627 Matthew Henry's commentary said a legion was 6000 or more therefore, that poor man was in a hopeless situation until Jesus healed him. Glory be to God in the highest. Amen!
