That is a Jew that has knowledge of the Law, but is trying to keep it with their carnal nature, and without the Spirit. From chapter one this teaching is leading up to chapter 8.

Do a little more study on the author of Mark. Mark received his information from Peter. Peter was there; Mark wasn't.

There is only one interpretation for every inspired scripture of God. That is what we must seek out.

Exactly, that's what I said. Jesus lived under the law perfectly, was sacrificed, and the resurrection and ascension brought in the New Covenant which officially was given on the Day of Pentecost. Jesus is the Seed, but it wasn't His birth that put an end to the Old Covenant, it was His death.

Mark wasn't there, only Peter, James and John. Mark wasn't even one of the disciples. 32 Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.

They love darkness.

Which question? But Mark is wrong in both questions.

I've been in three drastically different from each other denominations. Now I don't claim any of them, just Spirit-filled. The Spirit was the difference in knowing about Jesus, and abiding in Jesus.

Its an accurate statement based on his consistent lack of knowledge, let alone fruit. And especially his constant attacks on everyone.

I don't know, there isn't enough information. She had faith like the Centurion, but the thief on the cross had much more spiritual knowledge that could have only come from the Spirit, like when Peter said of Jesus, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

My testimony has me going to church for 30 years, learning the Bible and the commandments. I can still quote the Ten Commandments word for word. And yet, I wasn't born again. I didn't have the Spirit in me empowering me not to sin. Finally in 1977 I repented and truly wanted to be scrubbed clean...

What was so amazing about the thief on the cross was that he knew Jesus was about to die, and still asked Him to take him with him into His KINGDOM. But what did the disciples say? Acts 1:6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the...

I understand. I didn't know either until I joined my first Christian forum site. DT knows Calvinism, but not the Bible.

Romans 7 is not a believer. They have not yet been filled with the Spirit (requirement) and been freed from sin. What about that don't you get?

All the clues are there. I'm Sherlock Holmes don't ya know! LOL

Good, then you don't believe in Calvinism?

But those in Romans 7 were UNDER the law. They still had the carnal nature of sin. If Jesus frees us from sin, then the deeper laws are written on your heart, and you have a completely different nature. Not one that sins and needs Commandments to show them.

What does Jesus base His 'choosing'?

We have different ministries. God would have us be either hot or cold. I am hot, you are cold and refreshing.

You can't see his faith? He had more faith than all the disciples put together. He understood what Jesus said about His kingdom not being of this world and actually believed Jesus could still take him there after they both were dead! Seems pretty obvious to me. You can't see it, huh? Oh well.
