1 | Jesus' Instruction to Nicodemus | John 3:14 | Ocelot | 173899 | ||
John, Your implication that Mark believes that man can save himself is (at least from what I know of Mark from his posts) a gross fabrication. If you were being swept downstream in a rushing river towards a waterfall, and someone tossed you a rope, after you were pulled to safety, would you claim to have saved yourself by grabbing the rope? Of course not! And you’re right about the Bible not recording anyone refusing to look at the brazen serpent. It was so easy to do. And yet, so is looking to Jesus. The analogy is PERFECT. Ocelot |

2 | Jesus' Instruction to Nicodemus | John 3:14 | mark d seyler | 173903 | ||
Hi Ocelot, I think that the analogy is perfect because it is Jesus' analogy. He is the One Who compared salvation to the incident with the serpent. I am glad that at least someone is acknowledging that I am not making the claim that man works for salvation, or somehow saves himself. You are correct in your understanding - I in no wise believe that. Love in Christ, Mark |
