I like Mark a lot. It intrigues me that although Mark's is a much shorter account, he often gives more details than Matthew. (For example, compare Mark 5:1-20 to Matthew 8:28-34). Far more details are given by Mark.

Of course, it's incumbent on me to point out, that Mark refers to only one man, and Matthew to two. I say with all my heart, however, that I consider this to be the infallible Word of God. I make every effort to receive it in that manner. I believe that it is presented to me in the manner in which God has determined and ordained.

Matthew was actually one of Jesus' disciples; so for him, this is an eye-witness account. In Mark's case, according to early church tradition, he was an associate of Peter, and so, perhaps, he got his information second-hand via Peter.

Are you working your way through Mark's gospel, MrsSpooner?

It's enjoyable to watch your progress! Praise God for knowing those verses so well.

That's great! Keep going strong!

That's wonderful. It's such a good feeling to see those verses get finished.

praise the Lord :) that's great

Amen. Thanks for sharing that :)

Where there's breath there is hope, I do believe.

Been there.

whoa .. approaching 20 mil .... smokin' your way up the charts

I add my congratulations, Hersh.

That's a very special number to reach. I pray that those verses will come to your mind and strengthen you in your faith.

That's an excellent milestone! May God bless your time spent in His Word.

Deuteronomy 29:29 and Isaiah 45:3 come to my mind and seem appropos for you today. Congratulations on your achievment, which our Lord has walked you through!

happy for you!

nice work

praise the Lord for such persistence over the long haul.

the number keeps increasing ...

I feel the same.

I'd like to add my belated congratulations, mrsmoo...

nice going!

Thank you, rvfc2 and Symota! May God bless you on your journey here as well.

Thanks. It's been a long haul ... repeating, re-repeating and repeating verses again (as you also advised recently, in order to enhance memory)

600! I just can't even! Congrats!

Your diligence is a good example to us, Joosep. Congratulations on 600 verses finished.

Another wonderful milestone reached, congratulations, joosep! Your diligence is commendable. ✝️ 👏🏽

So hard to tell over the internet .... but thanks for explaining TMG. Have a nice day. :)

TheMoviegoer, I think I understand now your statement. When I said that Belteshazzar and joosep are the same person, I meant that the same person (me) is behind both screennames on this website.

As you can see, Belteshazzar and joosep are the same person. I apologize if it's a little spammy.

Thanks, onfire247 :) but, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with all the necessary reviews. I'm just sort of engaging in some large-scale scripture meditation...just because I need it in my walk with Christ. We'll see how the reviews go LOL

amen!

It seems I made a little mistake there -- she got 300,000 points for her new Recruiter Badge. But actually she hasn't been here for a while. Nevertheless, if you read this RoseMarie, we'd love to see you back here again!

Congratulations on reaching 900!

It's good to see you back, RoseMarie!

congratulations and praise the Lord!

a beautiful number .... nice work ... may your knowledge of God always increase .... may He always be your only Lord.

Thank you Jane, and Onfire, for all that helpful input :)
