  • Mark 10:13-16 - The kingdom of God belongs to those who receive it in the spirit of children. This directly contradicts the doctrine of total inherited depravity.
  • Mark 10:21. This command was specific to this man because he had a particular problem with materialism. It is not a bad idea for us to make our own personal rules like this to help with particular sins.
  • Mark 10:25 - Here Jesus exaggerates to make His point. It is possible for a wealthy man to go to heaven, but it is not easy.

  • 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.
