Thanks MJH, That is great information. These are authors I already know, love and appreciate their Biblical teachings and values. Sometimes we have to put the student in the place of those biblical counterparts in order to understand the nature of what was going on in their worlds and exactly how much they had to suffer for our Saviour. Complacency is all around in our Christian world and churches. It is one thing to wear a cross and another to bear it. My premise for this teaching in Mark is when Jesus asks the disciples to leave their Mothers, Fathers and everything behind to follow Him. What are some other things or people they may have had to leave behind? From studying the life of Mary and Joseph recently, I assumed most young men pursued marriage very young. I need to check it out more thoroughly. Thanks for that challenge too. I should never be that busy to dig a little deeper. Be blessed Angela |

You are on the right track. It can be a lot of fun discovering the life and times of Jesus and the Apostles. I agree with you that young men pursued marriage and a young age, but probably not as young as the women. I disagree with the History and Discovery Channel depicting the 30 something men marrying 13 year olds. There is more evidence that in Jesus world men married closer to 20 and girls a bit younger. Girls also had a say to some extent. It would be an exception for a girl to marry a man she did not agree with. While that may not be true for all places and times in the Jewish world, it most likely was in the first century Galilee. Anyway, enjoy learning and reading. It's a long journey with many "flowers" to smell along the way. MJH |
