Subject: Belive in "The Good News" or Jesus? |
Bible Note: Thanks, Leolipwee for your response. I read from Mark 9 to Mark 17, and unless I do some "inserting", it seems that the context is simply that a person must believe in the message of The Good News and be baptized. I must take Jesus at his word about this, that the message is that "God's Kingdom is near!" The saved person must believe this, then must be baptized. Unless I do the "inserting", that's all that is commanded. Also, I think if Mark knew about the major stip of believing in Jesus alone, he would have stated it previously, somewhere in his Book. And surely, he would have had Jesus say as much earlier. Anyway, not a huge deal, but I do like to be careful about "insertions" to text that seems to mean what it says. And, just an opinion. :)Treadway |
