Conservative Friends Bible Study of Mark #02 Chapter 01 Verse 09 - Verse 20.

In this session, Henry continues with his examination of the Gospel of Mark.  He walks through Jesus’ baptism, his experience in the desert and his calling of James and John.  As he does so, he addresses several questions:  Why was Jesus baptized? What happened and why?   What does it mean for the heavens to be torn apart?  What is the true symbolism of a dove?  What did God reveal to Jesus?  What kind of king is Jesus?  Through these examinations, Henry dives into the meaning of many words and how they are sometimes mistranslated.  Included in this are the words: impure, forty, desert, angel, parable, belief, disciple and repentance.   He also reviews the importance of the term “The Kingdom of God”.   Is it within or among you?  A complete list of our podcasts,  organized into topics, is available on our website.We will be publishing video interviews with Conservative Friends on YouTube.  See our YouTube channel.  The first interview is with Susan Smith. To learn more about Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative) of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), please visit  ohioyearlymeeting.org.
