Thank you for sharing this video. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this, hoping it will help us to broaden our understanding of this passage. To fully understand this passage, we need to read the sequence of events happening in the book. 1. Here we read of Jesus delivering a man who is totally in bondage and unable to free himself. 2. Then we read about a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years (twelve is important). She was walking through the crowd, pressing on both sides, and Jesus healed her. Mark 5:25 3. Jesus raises a dead young girl who was twelve years old (again, twelve is important). Mark 5:42 4. Then Jesus fed thousands of people in the wilderness. Twelve baskets of food were collected (again, twelve is important). Mark 5:43 5. Then Jesus was transfigured and met Moses and Elijah. Then, after coming down the mountain, Jesus talked about a rebellious nation. Mark 9:2 But this time, you know Jesus was reliving the Exodus story that happened many years before his time here. Though this passage has its immediate context, it is good to know the bigger context, which is often mind-boggling. Pastor Caleb Martin Hilton Striving forward (Philippians 3:13)
The strange thing is that the owner of the pigs was never compensated for his loss, and it is likely the economy of the farmers in this area was devastated. Leviticus 24:21 says that whoever kills an animal shall make restitution. The likelihood of this story seems quite far fetched, especially given the pedigree of jesus and his observance of the Torah.
It is a dangerous thing to make determinations based on the absence of information. Simply because the gospel accounts don't record the aftermath of this miracle, does not mean that it didn't occur - especially if that implies that Jesus Himself transgressed the Law of Moses (which the scripture clearly teaches us that He did not). If one has trouble seeing this miraculous biblical account as being too "far fetched", but accepts the gospel's testimony of a resurrected Messiah... the inconsistency of your argument seems problematic. Our approach is to take the Holy and perfect Word of God as being exactly that.
@@appianmedia An honest reply indeed 🙏🏻 "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." ( John 21:25 )
"He's sitting, clothed and in his right mind."
We need this in our society today.
