• 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.
