Who Wrote Mark's Gospel? Part 1 of the new Mark series

I recently found my faith in the Lord over the course of this past year. I've loved listening to Mike as I go throughout my day to day hoping to get a better understanding of the Bible. Thank you Mike.

[@SolaScriptura-n-cats]

He is incredibly knowledgeable and my personal favorite pastor for any subject either about the Bible and everyday things that we deal with. God bless you, Daniel. So good to have you in the family. 🙏🏼💗 Keep learning, never stop seeking the truth of our Savior, Jesus.

[@hminchella7423]

Mike is so helpful to me too. I had shallow faith for years. Mike came recommended by my daughter. Studying scripture is "giving glory to God with our minds" as Mike said. Praise God for your faith. God bless

[@andrewtham8093]

Thank you, Mike, for doing this. I'm now stuck in China by the coronavirus. This sermon series has become my Sunday message.

Watching your giddy excitement about the Bible and teaching the living word…. Is probably one of the purest things about you Mike. Love this series!

Wow, just wow. Literal goosebumps. I read through the book of Mark today and I had so many questions for the Holy Spirit. I asked Him to show me the direction to take in regard to the Scripture (as in whether I should move on to the other Gospels or study Mark in depth), I hop on youtube and now I come across this series. A lot of my questions were answered today, and my eyes have been open to so many things they were closed to before. God bless you, Mike, and may He keep you till the end.

[@LoveYourNeighbour.]

I LOVE your positive vibe & SINCERITY! I first discovered you through Jon McCrae at Whadodo You Meme?? (When you guys recently did the 20 Atheist objections together.) I really look forward to listening to the evidence that Mark is INDEED the author of this Gospel. KZbin is SO BLESSED to have such educated speakers, building up the body of Christ!!

Wow this is going to be fun. I have never heard teaching like this! I sure appreciate the layers and layers of content and knowledge about the people of the time. Mike went deep on the study of who wrote Mark. This is going to be so good!

I admire the time and effort you spend researching and pulling together all this information! Biblical and church history, theology, apologetics, philosophy etc are some of my favorite subjects.

I cannot put into words what finding your channel has done for me on so many levels of my faith. You are giving us all knowledge and understanding which is priceless and I have not found offered elsewhere. Your manner of teaching and explaining is clear and easy to understand. Many times I say oooooooohhh ok I get it now to myself as I listen to you speak. Your teaching really helps things make sense for me. Among other offerings from your channel, I find the 20 questions to be extremely valuable for me and where I am in my faith walk. I am so excited to be starting your series on Mark. I expect it will be as well rounded, well researched, true to biblical teaching and honest as everything else you offer. You are a resource that is absolutely necessary to increase my understanding of the bible as well as current events and culture and how theology applies to understanding and responding to the times we live in. Please, please, please keep doing what you do. I thank God for you and want you to know how much you are growing our faith and providing biblical truths and understanding in such an excellent and forthright way. May God continue to bless you as you share this gift with us and we get to enjoy growth in our faith and understanding of the bible. I appreciate you beyond what these mere words can ever convey.

I truly appreciate your thorough exegesis and high view of Scripture. I am especially thankful that there are no advertisements interrupting the flow of your teaching. I don’t know if that is a feature you control but if it is, “Thank you!” I am part of a ministry team at my church where we correspond on line with people who send in prayer requests and questions- I have a list of 4 websites I suggest to each person seeking to understand God better - your website and You Tube channel is at the top of that list.

[@justindavid9979]

Guy #1 makes some supporting arguments for a number claims in the Bible, and some arguments against a number of other claims in the Bible. Guy #2 makes ONLY supporting arguments for all claims in the Bible. Which one of these is necessarily more biased? But do go on rooting for the guy who gets paid to reinforce your beliefs, and discredit any and all skepticism like an idiot. By definition, an idiot automatically rejects any beliefs contrary to his own. When you listen to Ehrman, he acknowledges the merit of certain scholarship which does not agree with his own conclusions. He also speaks with the historical terms of plausibility and probability. Winger uses evidence like maybe it seems that perhaps Papias was homies with the apostles in the 80s therefore we should totally believe him regarding Mark. 18:29

I was thinking, if I were making up a story, or at least making up names to populate it, I'm not sure I'd have had so many women named Mary, and so many Simons.

I give the speaker credit for admitting right up front that this is apologetics rather than scholarship. It’s more a sermon than a scholarly lecture and will be reassuring for evangelical Christians.

[@collegepennsylvania837]

"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." Philippians 2:3 Humbly serve others following the perfect example of Jesus. He said that He came not to be served but to serve others and give His life for others. (Matthew 20:28). Let us be humbled by the awesomeness and greatness of God and the unworthiness of ourselves. CS Lewis said that true humility is not thinking less of yourselves but rather thinking of yourself less. Let us look each day for opportunities to serve God and thus others, and be empowered by the Spirit to do these things glorifying God. Hopefully this impacted you positively today. God bless you!

1. Detail in Context 2. Theology 3. Application 4. Apologetics Sounds like a good program. I'm in. One side note: We know something about Mark because he put himself in the Gospel as a cameo. He was the streaker who ran away from the Garden of Gethsemane. He was dressed in a simple linen cloth because he was an Essene. If he got some Jewish practices wrong, it was because he was from a different sect. If you ever wondered who that guy was, it was Mark saying, "I was there to see it." And he talks so much about Peter because they were close companions all the way to Rome.

I also think that unless someone (Mark or whoever) had it in for Peter they wouldn't have included the denial, or that Peter was rebuked by Jesus, or was terrified at the transfiguration... UNLESS Peter told the author/scribe about the incidents and insisted that they be included. Especially if what the Catholics say was true... that Peter was a high and mighty bishop in Rome. (A reason against that tradition?)

I enjoyed and learned a lot from this video. I must admit I am a little jealous. I wish I had the time to study the multiple areas you delve into. I appreciate the manner in which you summarize your studies. I've heard so many people say that Matthew and Luke were based on Mark. I really doubt that, but I've never studied to prove or disprove it. That might be an interesting angle to throw into one of the Mark lessons.
