Discuss Mark 7 Page 4

Mable; You bring up a very important part and hard to be understood. The Lord Jesus has kindly and mercifully received us and accepted us by our faith in Him; and He has made us "every whit clean" through the Word which He has spoken to us. And he that is washed needs not anymore, but to wash his feet. We are in the sanctification and growing-up process, unto the discipline of the mind of Christ.

I got thatwe are full of all the sins that GOD doesn't approve of but HE said we are already approved to GOD and we're going to do this but GOD can cleanse us from all those things we are blind by the sins of this world and lust of the world and flesh but we can becleansed from these sinful nature.

Eutychus (lastly); When we are tempted, we are drawn away by our own lusts and enticed. We ALL are the same in that respect. But the one who is truly right with the Lord and walking in truth hates sin and hates the temptations to sin. We hate and war against our own natural desires for what is forbidden, AND WILL NOT YIELD TO THEM! If we ever do, even for a moment; we burn with shame and repent!

Eutychus (cont.); We have to be very careful about what we say, because the things that come from our hearts and innermost thoughts either justify us or condemn us. We have to think about what we say, and WHY we say it. If a man is still wrestling with selfishness and sinning like it was a serious conflict in him or as you call it a rivalry; where is the evidence of grace? Where is the repentance?

Eutychus; I'm glad you bring up these things; for it is a diabolical technique used by the devil through MANY supposed well meaning Pastors and Teachers these days. But let's examine just exactly it is that you're suggesting. What "rivalry" between the LORD God and the devil? And what "rivalry" for the truly saved and converted Believer who wishes to live with a good conscience toward God and man?

Verses 7-15...the age old rivalry between "Commandment and Convenience". It is inconvenient, therefore, we "let it slide". Of course, the question is...Don't that suit God? Does letting it slide please God? Do we do things after God's way, or in a way we hope, we pray, we think, is God's way, for sake of convenience.

Verses 20-23~ Jesus showed that these wicked things that take place come out of a person's bad heart condition. We must be careful that we do not take in bad things through what we read, watch, and what we listen to.

What come out of a man Is what defines or defiles Him. This is why we need Jesus in our heart that he will rule our through and by the Holy Ghost, Amen.

April: Eating food that's Forbidden in the Old Testament is Ok, if Giving Thanks, for every creature of God is good--- for it is sanctified by the word of God and Prayer--- put the brethren in remembrance of these things---: 1Timothy 4:4-6 / it's not what goes in the mouth but what comes out, defileth: Mark 7:15-23 / John 6:44, 1John 1-9, Revelation1:5,
Matthew 3:11, 2Corinthians 5:17

Jesus exposed the heart of man- so full of iniquities. From it "proceeds evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness". Only His precious Blood can give us a new heart. What we have today is people honouring Him with their lips, but their heart is far from Him. Salvation is the antidote.

The Bible says that ALL scripture is inspired of God. ( 2 Timothy 3:16) To say that an emperor wrote Matthew 28:19,20 is saying that 2 Timothy 3:16 is a lie. We know that Jesus and his disciples practiced and taught evangelizing.Remember the words at 2 Peter 1:20,21. Interpretation comes from God.

WOW! ... the commandments of men..... the commandment of God.... . WOW!

Frank: Mark 7:18-23. V:22-----pride, foolishness:23: all these evil things come from within and defile the man.
John6:44,no man can come to me,except
ll Corinthians5:17 Therefore If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
Matthew3:11---He shall baptize you with--
Revelation20:15 and whosoever was not-
How wonderful it is to be in the arms of The Savior! Next morning,Wow! I'm in new world !

I love God he is my hero

We need to make sure that we examine some of the traditions we hold dear and make sure we know why we are following them and not just because everyone is doing it.

Jesus way saying that many were just paying lip service to him. They didn't really have a clean heart in their worship.

I think it is saying in verse 6 chapter 7 from the book of MARK that men can speak or say anything. But God knows all things and he knew that they didn't feel those ways in their hearts.as to go into verse 7 Jesus is saying how can it be that they worship him in vain, they are speaking of doctrines ,the commandments of men. They were ignoring the commandment of God and speaking their own belief.

he also said he is the end to the law

I think you're wrong. Read Acts chapters 10 and 15.

Mark 7:14...23 has been used for eons to justify eating anything the Christian wants to. These passages DO NOT determine what the definition of what meat food is, this can only be found in Leviticus. Our LORD God YHWH defined for us what is meat food and what is an abomination to us. The Lord does not change and Jesus told us that he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it, and he kept God's law perfectly. So now re-read these passages and apply the definition of food per Leviticus to them and you will find, this is saying nothing at all about what you can eat. Food has been defined long before in Leviticus. Please read and compare what I have said, let the Holy Spirit guide your thoughts, and remember why follow man's commandments when you have a set of perfect commandments from God!

What does it matter, as to what you or I think about anything spoken of in the Bible? Since the Bible is the Word of God, only what God says, actually matters. How can our mortal opinion carry any weight with God? Even the Bible (Gods word) is not just His opinion, but rather it is established fact! We can only understand the truth of Scripture, when God gives it to us, as progressive revelation

34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. Second Time in scripture that Jesus spoke in tongues. "That is" means being interpet.

TO HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE GOD AS THE GREEK WOMAN DID. AND BELIEVE IN GOD

Paul keep the commandments so why would say they not necessary?

Tradition is one of the Pattern of this World, Paul Understand this that is why he said Do not conformed to the Pattern of this world but be Transform by the Renewing of your mind. Renewing means return back to the original mind setting, which is from the beginning We only listen and do what God Says.....It is high time for us now not to listen what others told about you, just only listen what God tells you...God Bless everyone.....

The scribes and Pharisees found fault with Christ and his despises that right there is vary telling not all people did not even the man possessed with legion for they were many. Christ said they taught for doctrine the commandments of men my opinion they were in the church for money and position they were self righteous and could not see with there harts the loving savior there hart was blind he was trying to point this out The people who hummbled there harts before Christ he heals and forgives I 'm so glad

VERSE 6,7,8 ABOUT WORSHIP HERE JESUS TELLS THAT PEOPLE WILL WORSHIP GOD PHYSICALLY AND THEIR MIND WILL BE THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE.IF YOU WORSHIP 'GOD THE ALMIGHTY ' CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH THEN YOU SHOULD DO THAT USING YOUR PHYSICAL BODY AND YOUR FULL MIND.THAT IS THE REASON WHY JESUS HAS TAUGHT US TO SHED ALL YOUR WORLDLY DESIRES SO THAT YOU COULD WORSHIP YOUR CREATOR FULLY.IF YOU HAVE ANY DESIRES OF THIS WORLD THEN YOUR MIND WILL BE THERE.WHILE PRAYING WHAT EVER YOU ASK 'GOD ' HE WILL GIVE YOU.ONCE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESIRE THEN YOU TEND TO FORGET 'GOD THE ALMIGHTY '

VERSE 15,16 IT IS SAID THAT WHAT EVER COMES FROM A MAN ONLY CAN MAKE HIM UNCLEAN. THAT MEANS IT IS YOUR TAUGHT AND DEEDS THAT MAKE YOU UNCLEAN. IT IS CLEAR THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR TAUGHT NEITHER GOD NOR SATAN HAS ANY ROLE IN WHAT YOU THINK AND DO.YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR TAUGHT .GOD HAS GIVEN FULL FREEDOM TO YOU TO THINK AND ACT.HERE JESUS IS ALSO NOT FORCING OR COMPELLING ANYONE TO FOLLOW HIM. UNLIKE ANY OTHER RELIGION JESUS IS SAYING IF YOU NEED ETERNAL LIFE YOU SHOULD BE CLEAN IN YOUR TAUGHT AND DEEDS . JUST BY OFFERING PRAYERS AND SACRIFICE YOU WILL NOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

Mark 7 34,35 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened 35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. Jesus didn 't pray for the sick, He commanded them to be healed. He was always prayed up so when people needed healing He said things like pick up your bed and walk, to the dead he said arise,to the paralize man He said pick up your bed and walk, to demons He said go, to death ears He said open. Take your authority over sickness and diseases in the Name of Jesus.

Why did he always tell them not to tell when I think he knew they would?
