  • Mark 9:49-50. “Salted with fire” may refer to the purifying effects of persecution.
    • I Corinthians 3:9-15
    • This could also be referring to the purifying effects of God’s discipline on us.
    • James 1:2 could be a parallel passage.
  • Mark 10:2 - “Divorce” is translated from apoluo, which means to loose or dismiss.
  • Mark 10:4. The certificate of divorce was paperwork showing that the divorce had happened. It was not the divorce itself.
  • Mark 10:5-8. This doesn’t mean that it’s okay for us to bend God’s law if we are stubborn. Divorce for any reason other than adultery was never acceptable in God’s eyes. God just gave Moses laws to handle the complications brought about by the sin.
  • Mark 10:11-12 - God’s law for marriage is the same for men and women. God has no double standard.
