Yes, I suppose we don't need to read into the incident more than what is presented, however, sometimes details in a verse or chapter jump out at me, and I wonder why these 2 short verses were only included in Mark. "All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for...

Thanks Magenta, I didn't know this, although I did notice that this incident is only in the gospel of Mark, and I wondered why

Thank you PS, for taking the time to carefully reply. I didn't know any of the things you wrote.

Sometimes there are very short passages in the Bible, that make me wonder why they are there, and this is one of them. Mark 14:51-52 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind. I cannot figure this...

Hi grace007, I found this site by searching for Christians on line. I live in a small village, and there are not many Christians here. This is a very good place to visit. Welcome!

Hi Karthic, welcome and enjoy the forums. They are a wealth of information and support.

I agree, her posts don't make any sense to me, and I wonder if the photo is really her. I think she is a troll.

No, I don't go there anymore, but, I still have friends there who do. I was very confused and heartbroken about the whole situation, and I still confused and heartbroken.

I have never been to Calcutta, and I have never ministered to the poorest of the poor, and, I cannot even imagine what it would belike to, day after day, see God's children live in such unbelievably desperate conditions. I was an RN for many years, and, some days I could barely face the...

my son had the same kind of situation when he was in high school where there were gay/straight alliance groups meetings, and, a lot of young people felt obligated to attend, because they didn't want to appear prejudiced. My son absolutely refused, he said he didn't agree with this at all... and...

Hi Prognostic, I think every single Christian struggles just as you are describing. It sounds as though you are going through a really hard time right now... and it is excellent you are reaching out to other Christians. I appreciate your honesty about yourself.... and I, at 60 years old, still...

This is an excellent and courteous post about gravity and flat earth.

yep

I am divorced, and, I would much rather be single than to be lonely and abused in a marriage. but, I am also someone who wants a good kind Christian man in my life. Someone who I am a true equal partner with... where we bring out the best in each other.

whenever I would fuss about something I said that I regretted, my friend would say "you have some ego on you girl... if you think that person is sitting at home thinking about everything you said."

Welcome. I am a new member too. I remember when I first started to read my Bible, I had a lot of fear too. It helped me a lot to find Christian people and to go to a Bible based church. I began to see that Jesus was loving, kind, compassionate, and He wants us to trust in Him. I hope you...

Excellent point. As a mother of 2 sons, I have seen how females can be total bullies, and how devastaing it is to their targets.

I like Diamond and Silk, they are fiesty. and Donald Trump, for all his weaknesses, he has some sincere strenths.

Hi Jenny, I am happy you have found this forum, and I am very sorry about the turmoil in your country. It is hard to stay strong in those conditions. I read and re-read a book by Anne Graham Lotz (Billy Graham's daughter) called "The Daniel Prayer" and what Daniel went through to pray for...

Welcome ebs24. I hope you find what you need in these forums. I am new too, and am learning which forums I want to participate in. As for a 30 day fast, that sounds very draining to your body. I am a retired nurse, and I know I wouldn't have managed to keep up physically if I fasted for 30...
