Mark 10: 1-12

(Mark 10: 1-12) And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again. And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.  And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.  And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

Adultery includes physical adultery and spiritual adultery. For physical adultery, Jesus said, “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. "(19: 9). However, Jesus speaks of the Pharisees' question about physical adultery, but at the same time speaks of spiritual adultery. Christ and the saints are compared to couples. So, the analogy of the ten virgins is the same. Christ and the saints are one with the Holy Spirit, but those who say that they are in Christ but still believe in the law are those who commit spiritual adultery. The Pharisees say they are God's people, but they think they must obey the law.

Jesus likened the law (law of wrath) and the law of the Holy Spirit through the parable of the ten virgins. The five foolish virgins turned on the lamps, but failed to prepare other oil barrels, and the wise five virgins turned on the lamps and prepared other oil barrels. A lamp that has been lit means that it has been invited to the church. But the other oil drum is speaking of the Holy Spirit. The five foolish virgins who failed to prepare another oil barrel are still in the law. Like Nicodemus, they are people who are trapped in the law who think they are saved without knowing the meaning of being born again.

Today, the church tells us that there are two kinds of people. People who are locked up in the law and are born again. If the body of the body dies and is not born into a spiritual body, all are trapped in the law. So the old man must die. The flesh received from the parents is to be nailed with Jesus. In Romans 6: 8-9, 『Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 』Jesus Christ did not die of his physical mind, but the body he received from his parents. Those who died with him must believe that the body is dead, not the heart. It does not mean that it will happen when the future flesh dies, but it does so in the present of faith.

In 1 Corinthians 15:44, “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. Those who are not reborn as spirit bodies cannot enter into Christ. However, all who say they believe in Jesus and still think of the flesh from their parents are committing adultery. The Bible tells us not to love the world, but those who say they believe in Christ, but who love the world, commit spiritual adultery.

Mark 1: 21-28

(Mark 1: 21-28) And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.   And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.   And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.   And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.   And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.   And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. Jesus made disciples of Peter and And...

Mark 2: 1-12절

(Mark 2: 1-12 절 ) And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the...

Mark 1:1-8

(Mark 1:1-8) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Jud æ a, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.   The Gospel of Mark is the first written Gospel. Mark is not one of Jesus' twelve discipl...
