Is all of Mark inspired by God?

Well Paul was bitten by a serpent and God did heal him from the poison. The apostles also healed the sick. And yes it does say whatsoever we ask, it will be done. That did not exclude poison. That might be a good verse to claim for those that took the vaccine! Don't worry God can heal you even if there are some bad effects possible or soon to be revealed.

Great, and so? Have you a point. Most of those signs are known to have already happened. And if there are no recorded cases of God healing someone poisoned, maybe there ill be still! So? Were you suggesting that verse was a lie?

It does not specify all who believe can or will do those things.

many are suggesting that whoever filled in the end of the book used the historical know events of what the Apostles themselves did, but not was to be a proof text for pentacostal theology!

Oh? Just because some were prophets does not mean teachers cannot also be inspired. Of course prophesy requires inspiration of God,. Only He knows the future. All bible prophesy is right from God, of course. All the lessons from all the stories about people are also from God and are for our admonition and benefit to learn from! They are also inspired. The Scripture was inspired. God said greater works than what were seen will we also do. So that involves inspiration also. The gifts and calling of God involve inspiration also! The inspiration and moving of God has not stopped and is not limited to those who He inspired to get the record to us in written form. God breathes a lot. He breathed on Adam.

Relating this to the topic, I see no problem in Mark having written the ending for his inspired book later in life. That would not make it any less or more inspired.

The Holy Spirit ceased ANY inspiration after John passed!

says the Holy Bible, in the 2 passages that I quoted earlier! I can see that you cannot grasp Biblical Inspiration, which is UNIQUE.

No other book can ever by "Inspired" by God the Holy Spirit, because if they are, then they become Infallible and Inerrant, and equal to the Bible!

The Holy Spirit ONLY inspired the 66 Books of the Canon, and nowhere else, period!

I found the YouTube video. Kind of disappoints me in him. His Commentary leans one way and his sermon the other. I don't have his long form commentary on Mark, Just the short version, but it handles it as inspired. Glad you pointed it out. Macarthur is a good teacher, but it seems that at times he gets way yonder too far caught up in his anti-Charismatic crusade.

His take on Charismatic Chaos is a must read!

God inspires people all the time. God is not dead. Any inspiration will not go against what He already said. Inspiration is just God working in lives and the world. The bible is inspired by God. So as I said, the inspired book from God department is already a done deal. Any other lesser but maybe also inspired books will agree with that. Not all inspiration is equal. Someone might sing an inspired song, but it still might have a few lines in it that are not quite so good.

There is no holy inspired table of contents. Keep following that trail of who decided what belongs in the bible.

The bible didn't fall out the sky complete one day. There was debate on what belongs or not, You'll even find early church fathers quoting works that plenty of folks would not even consider biblical.

who can be trusted to be a legit source? IF THEY WROTE IT.....how come they left the stuff they don't consider legit?

Hint.... Because THEY didn't write it.;)

Maybe stop trying to be deep and be clear. Did not God decide to have a book for mankind? Would He not oversee the process?

You made that up. Making stuff up is more of a mother that godly deductions. We do know Mark left the mission field so he is known to leave things unfinished. If he learned under Peter then we can assume he learned to do better in some ways. Therefore if someone claims the ending for Mark was a forgery or con job we need proof. Not conjecture and speculation. Shoe, meet other foot.

How about Mark finished his book later in life? Can you rule that out? There were no denominations back then. If Mark did finish it, and felt inspired about how Paul was healed from the serpent bite and etc, so what?

Oh? Last time I checked the Spirit was alive and well on planet earth, in the lives and hearts of believers. Maybe you meant to say that God (the Spirit) had already finished the bible, so that was a done deal, and He worked in other ways on other things?
