Mark's Gospel
1. CONFESSION of 1 John 4:2
"Unclean spirits" confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. If 1
Jn.4:2 is true, then these "unclean spirits" are of God. 1:23-24
Jesus rebukes the "unclean spirit" for saying that Jesus is "the holy one of
God." 1:25
More "unclean spirits" confess that Jesus is "the son of God." 1 Jn.4:2 says
that all such spirits are of God. 3:11
Although the disciples weren't sure about Jesus even after his alleged
resurrection, the "unclean spirits" knew that he was "the son of God." But
Jesus told them not to tell anyone. 3:11-12
A man possessed with "an unclean spirit" recognizes Jesus as the son
of God. According to 1 Jn.4:2, 15, this man must have been "of God." 5:7
2. HEALING
"Thy faith hath made thee whole." If you have enough faith, you will
never get sick. (Illness is caused by sin and lack of faith. Medical science
is unnecessary.) 5:34
Jesus heals a boy with "a dumb spirit" by saying, "Thou dumb and deaf
spirit, I charge thee, come out of him and enter no more into him." (Sounds
like a script from Monty Python, doesn't it?) But how could a deaf spirit
hear the words spoken to it? And how could a dumb spirit cry out? 9:17,
25-26
"And he could do there no mighty work." 6:5
Why can he do mighty works if he is God?
Jesus' spit did not completely cure the blind. So Jesus tried again. He put
his hands on the man's eyes and, this time, the blind man "saw every man
clearly." 8:24-25
If Jesus is God why couldn't he get it right the first time?
3. ARE WORMS IMMORTAL
"Where their worm dieth not" 9:44, 46, 48
4. IS JESUS GOD - WHAT JESUS SAYS
Jesus implies that he is neither good nor God. 10:18
There are some things that Jesus doesn't know -- like when the end of the
world will come. 13:32 Only God knows that.
5. CREATIONIST PSEUDO-SCIENCE
"In those days ... the moon shall not give her light, and the stars
of heaven shall fall." Of course this is nonsense. The billions of stars
will never fall to earth and the moon does not produce its own light.
13:24-25
