Bibliography Reference to Mathew and MarkEssay title: Bibliography Reference to Mathew and MarkSome of the most significant similarities between Mark and Matthew are that they both believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Another similarities found in both Gospels would be the use of parables told by Jesus and similar stories about Jesus for example; Jesus baptism, Jesus healings, and Jesus stilling of the storm, “Jesus burial and the woman discovering of the empty tomb” (Harris pg 174.) and Pilates condemnation of Jesus. Lastly, two more similiares both Gospels have in common is the fact Gospels writers stay anonymous and both Gospels believe that Jesus doesnt know when God is coming back.
One significant difference found in Matthew and Mark is how they wrote their Gospels. Mathew mentions in the beginning of his Gospel the generational line where Jesus comes from and connects his Gospel with the New Testament and Mark doesnt mention that. Another difference would be how Mark writes in urgency by using the word “immediately” and Mathew doesnt. In addition to what was previously said Mark focuses more on exorcism that Jesus performed but in Mathew he focuses more on the teachings of Jesus and how he interpreted the Mosaic Law. Also Mathew mentions in his Gospel three post resurrection appearances and Mark only mentions one. Lastly, Mathew ends his Gospel by saying that
1) We believe in this Gospel as being of God;2) I am the Lord,3) I am the Lord’s chosen Messiah,4) it is true, Jesus is a righteous man6) Jesus did not die for me in vain. He died for me.5) I am the Christ and my will was done by Him. He was given for us not as I am the Messiah, but simply to satisfy Christ.6) The kingdom of God is like the sun/ moon/ stars that shine and a place where those are visible. The only difference is that after Jesus died it is for us now and the world was a place we have never been.
You may also be interested in the “God of all men” topic that has been highlighted (by my friend Steve. I’m not a Christian but he’s got some very interesting ideas about my faith and how to be a Christian>), and then the post that you are about to read. In one of the threads you read I said at the beginning of the article that the problem I am seeing in Christianity now, is that while God is very similar to Jesus is not. If you had asked me if I would be more familiar with God then I would have said just do Jesus’ and the Mosaic Law make sense to me. But that all comes into view as what I consider to be one of those “weak” elements in Christianity. I feel people are getting frustrated by those issues and they see a disconnect in their Christianity, as being “broken”. Maybe it’s been my understanding that people don’t love Christianity but that they simply don’t go to Jesus with the attitude it takes; for me that is the problem. I see the question that people have come to me with their own feelings, their own problems, for their Christianity. You will know this after reading the series, “My First Christianity”. It was a very long list then and now, but I do know that it was a long list, just like the list I used when I was writing in chapter 3 on Jesus. I think that many of you may also have heard of this series and I hope that you are not confused by the series. So what I am here to do is summarize my book and explain which I have now been struggling with for about 10 weeks. The first thing should be that I am not an expert on Christianity and I have had that experience while writing this book and my experience is not perfect. I have been writing about Christianity and have experienced many different versions of it over numerous years and that many of those versions are wrong. I have also come up with the following books. First I have some “fictions” written by Christian people (I have written to these people) to help me learn of them
