I promised to stick up some verses about care in the community from Jesus, and I have added a couple from the Baptist and some of the OT poor laws. Some might not seem relevant in which case tell me and I'll offer an explanation as to why I inserted them.
Mark {10:21} Then...
So then the incorruptible seed is really corruptible and God's workmanship can be undone? OK.
Remember, if you break one law you've broken them all.
Jas 2:10,
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.
Assuming you've committed at least one...
A child of God can be disinherited.
11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? 12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, (Num.14:12)

Gosh, the complex stuff that folks think up to rubbish a straightforward report of all......
A 'never to be forgotten' escape.
I love the way that you manipulate 'linen cloth' into 'nightshirt' ....... in order to help your agenda of dismissal. If you had lived as a peasant in Palestine you...
The verses where Mark refers to the young man who escapes naked fit in well with Mark’s recurrent imagery of clothing as relating to one’s faith in Jesus or the reason for faith, the death and resurrection of Jesus or otherwise some relationship with Jesus. After all, it is difficult to take it...
Metis...has anyone ever in the history of Israel, made an appearance claiming to be the Messiah, who fulfilled more messianic prophesy than Jesus did? I can give you a list of all the prophesies he fulfilled. It is impressive, though Jews deny them for obvious reasons.
Why has the Jewish...
AGAIN - later additions to the meanings.
AGAIN - there are only FOUR uses of malakos in the Bible, - and the other three prove the word meant indulgent people, - not homosexuals - that idea was added by later Christians.
Saying catamite is ancient - does not make it a meaning of malakos, or...
Sodomy is sodomy....consensual or not. You miss the point.
Nonsense. In its ancient usage a catamite (Latin catamitus) was a pubescent boy who was the intimate companion of a young man in ancient Greece and Rome, usually in a pederastic relationship.[2]" (Wiki)

FWIW here is a little background on John.....
"JOHN
[English equivalent of Jehohanan, meaning “Jehovah Has Shown Favor; Jehovah Has Been Gracious”].
John the Baptizer, son of Zechariah and Elizabeth; the forerunner of Jesus. Both of John’s parents were of the priestly house of Aaron. Zechariah...
Revelation 11:1-19 Measuring the Temple of God, the altar and them that worship therein.
11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

Now..... I wanted to show that despite evangelical editing, fiddling and tinkering that this does not auto-annihilate the story of Jesus, but merely messes about with it.
So I went straight to the nearest report that I could think...
1:8 And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite

"The first allusion or implicit reference to the Hebrew scriptures comes early in the story in Mark 1, when the author introduces the character of John the Baptist, whom the author associates with the Jewish hero figure Elijah... Mark1:6 refers to 2 Kings 1:8, which provides a...
Once again......
"Now this is the witness of John when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him to ask him: Who are you? And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed: I am not the Christ. And they asked him: What, then? Are you E‧li′jah? And he...

Very good.
Elijah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The idea that it's just the "Office" of Elijah kinda clashes with what Jesus says at the vision with Moses. He correctly says that he wasn't Elijah. The same spirit does not mean the same incarnation.
