Conservative Friends Bible Study of Mark #19 Mark Chapter 10 Verse 22-45

Henry begins with a very quick comment about Mark 10 and the rich young ruler, and then moves on to Mark 10:22-27. Henry notes that for the Jews of this time, having wealth was seen as an indication of God’s favor. The content of 1 Tim. 6:17 is also examined as a verse containing information that also deals with riches and the kingdom of God.   The discussion then moves on to verses 28-31 with the information added by Henry that the concept of other believers in Jesus being treated like biological brothers and sisters was revolutionary for that time.   Mark 10:32-34The concept of Jesus being in the tomb for three days does not mathematically work out for English speakers. However, for the Jews, if time covered any part of a day (month or year) before and after a date, it was included. Thus, any part of Friday, then all of Saturday, then early Sunday morning for the Jews was considered a three-day period, even though it was not our English “requirement” of 72 hours.   Mark 10:35-45There is an extended discussion of what do the Scriptures mean when they say that Jesus’ life was considered sinless, and also what does it mean when Jesus was both a man and divine?  Host's notes:1 Tim. 6:17Acts 1:5-7GREEK:Teknon (v. 24): child or student  Matheteis: Student/Disciple Kamilos: ropeKamelos: camelEthambounto: amazedRise [again]: “again” does not exist in GreekAnthropos: manAdam (Hebrew) : man   Baptize/baptized: Baptizma, baptizomaiCredits:The words to our music are from George Fox’s 19th Epistle in 1652  (page 14 in  The Epistles of George Fox ) .  The music was composed and sung by Paulette Meier.  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.
