Mark 2:15; 2 Peter 2:15-16
Mark 2:15
KJV 15 And it
came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and
sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many,
and they followed him. Recovery
Version Mark 2:15
And as He reclined at table in his house, many tax collectors and
sinners were reclining together with Jesus and His disciples, for there were
many, and they were following Him. These are my
thoughts. Those who can
admit they are sinners are the ones who see their need to follow Jesus. 2 Peter 2:15-16King James Version (KJV) 15 Which have forsaken the right
way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who
loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 But was rebuked for his
iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the
prophet. 2 Peter 2:15-16 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) 15 They have forsaken
the right way and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of
Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness, 16 but was rebuked for
his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with a man’s voice forbad the madness of
the prophet. 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) Copyright © 1994 by Deuel Enterprises, Inc. These are my thoughts, please share yours. 15 They backslide as many call it; they gone from God’s will not just open
sins. Now the way of Balaam this leads to open sins, perhaps idolatry perhaps
lust and adultery perhaps others evils but this shows there backslidden state
was more than no doing God’s will it was doing something against God’s will. We
are going to sin and perhaps backslide but we do need to consider that not
doing what God wants from us and going from it is a backslidden state just as
much as falling into a sin, we should be careful not to put ourselves first.
Unrighteousness is anything that is against God’s will or plan. 16 This is referring back to the story of Balaam. Balaam was a false prophet
not one called by God but God caused him to go mad a share a message God had
given him. We should not wait till God has a donkey talk for us to turn from
sin and back to Him. Keep our eyes on Jesus.

1997- 2014 LIVING STREAM MINISTRY These are my thoughts. We need to follow Jesus when we receive our call from Him as
Matthew did hear.
2 Peter 2:13-14King James Version (KJV) 13 And shall receive the reward of
unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots
they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while
they feast with you; 14 Having eyes full of adultery,
and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have
exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 2 Peter 2:13-1421st Century King James Version (KJ21) 13 and shall receive
the reward of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to revel in the
daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own
deceptions while they feast with you, 14 having eyes full of
adultery and who cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls; their hearts
they have exercised with covetous practices; accursed children! 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) Copyright © 1994 by Deuel Enterprises, Inc.
These are my thoughts, please share yours. 13 The reward of unrighteousness is hell fire and eternal
separation from God. Unrighteousness also had results itself; sin often leads
to more sin which can lead to rewards us o not want here on earth. The bible
says their pleasure in sin for a season when this season end reaping of what is
sown often comes out. There are going to be people who come into the church who
are of this frame of mind, they will appear to be of us but not truly be, they
themselves may even be fooled to think they are righteous but we are only
righteous by Christ. 14 Adultery often comes from a lust. There is also
spiritually adultery where we Christians being the bride of Christ come to bed
with another, or follow after something or someone other than our Lord Jesus,
the bride groom. The church ha bared children out of the relationship with the
world some of this has been movements accepting the worlds views as church
doctrine, we are to separated from the world not be conformed to it be
transform it adultery is done when this is not, when we the church follow the
world or the ways of sin rather than Jesus. Keep our eyes on Jesus.

These are my thoughts.
If we look we will find God looking to ministry us during our times of temptation. 2 Peter 2:10-12King James Version (KJV) 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 2 Peter 2:10-1221st Century King James Version (KJ21) 10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise governance. Presumptuous are they and selfwilled; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities, 11 whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not, and shall utterly perish in their own corruption, 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) Copyright © 1994 by Deuel Enterprises, Inc.
These are my thoughts, please share yours. 10 There are those who say they follow Christ but they live
like the world. They follow after their flesh instead of following the ways of
God, being lead by the Spirit. We should not follow after the things our flesh
desires because this is often sin. Paul said he does not do what he wants and
does do what he does not want. We ourselves will struggle with our flesh. The
world will do what they want and nothing will stop them. We should not expect
them to live like we Christians do because they are missing the most important
part Christ being Lord and having the Spirit. They follow only what they know
and that is the flesh sin. 11 Angels may be our accusers. We are unable to do anything
without God knowing it. God is all knowing and knows our sins that are not
covered by the blood of Christ. If our sins are covered by the blood He may
know them but sees the blood and knows we have been forgiven. 12 The world is going to hate us because they do not
understand what we do our why we follow God if they did they would join us.
They killed Christ because they did not understand Hi purpose if they did they
would have realized to stop Him they needed to keep Him alive but if they truly
understood they would have followed Him as well. To devote our lives to ways of
God instead of the ways of the flesh makes no sense to those who live for the
flesh, those of the world.
Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Mark 2:12; 2 Peter 2:8-9
KJV 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. The Recovery Version of the Bible Mark 2:12 12 And he rose and immediately took up the mat and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, We have never seen anything like this!

Christ we will see things that we never imagined possible. 2 Peter 2:8-9King James Version (KJV) 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 2 Peter 2:8-921st Century King James Version (KJ21) 8 (for that righteous man, having dwelt among them seeing and hearing, was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their unlawful deeds)— 9 then the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be punished, 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) Copyright © 1994 by Deuel Enterprises, Inc. These are my thoughts, please share yours. 8 We will get to the point where we do not want to spend
time in sin or be around those whose lives are about sin but will want to do
things of righteousness things the Lord wants us to do and to spend time with
others who are serving the Lord. 9 The Lord can take temptations away from us if He wills it
and us pray for it to be done. The Lord will keep certain temptations in our
life so we can grow. If we did not get weak we might stop relying on Him often
times our weaknesses our temptations we have. Keep our eyes on Jesus.
