Sons of Thunder (Mark 3:16-17)

When Cornelius fell at Peter’s feet, the apostle lifted him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself also am a man!” (Acts 10:26) Being a Roman, the actions of Cornelius in that instance can be interpreted as a type foreshadowing the shameful conduct of the later Roman so-called “Catholic” Church, which seeking to lord over men would go on to falsely claim that Peter was the first so-called “pope”. The difference between Cornelius and the Catholic Church, is that Cornelius actually got up from off the floor.

Plastering the Bruises (Mark 1:29-39)

In our previous presentation concerning the possessed man in the Capernaum assembly hall, we discussed how the origin of unclean spirits both embodied and disembodied is tied to the fallen angels throughout Scripture, whose fornication is described in Genesis and 1 Enoch.

Introduction to the Gospel of Mark

Here we are going to endeavor to present a commentary on the Gospel of Mark, which we pray is the fruitful beginning of many such projects. The reason we have chosen to present Mark before Matthew is not because we believe it was penned first, but because it shares most of its accounts with Matthew and Luke. By presenting Mark’s comparatively concise gospel first, we hope to establish a foundation for future commentaries while also avoiding any unnecessary repetition.
