Summary

Get insights about demonology, the identity of Christ, the hope Jesus gives to even the most broken life, and some apologetics about a geography issue in Mark 5 related to the location of the region of the Gerasenes. I got a questions after this study about why Matthew says "Gadarenes" instead of Gerasenes. I forgot to mention it during the study but Gadara was a well known city about 6 miles from Galilee with some territory reaching all the way to Galilee. Matthew seems to be using a different way of referring a region toward the south/east of the Sea of Galilee. When it comes to the issue of demons I hope to provide a needed balance where we embrace the biblical worldview and reality of demons while being able to acknowledge other possible causes of illness. It can be harmful to land on either extreme of denying the spiritual realm or acting as if every ailment is caused by demons. Here's the playlist for the whole gospel of Mark series. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF My goal is to provide all my teaching for free and that nobody will ever be forced to pay for it in order to be blessed by it.

0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking
0:05.8	biblically about everything. Today we're going to talk about the man with
0:11.7	thousands of demons and Jesus performs an
0:15.0	exorcism, an exorcism on this man to cast these demons out.

0:24.0	like about who Christ is, and that's a theme in Mark.
0:26.0	I'm trying to really focus on that as we go through Mark.
0:28.0	It's about who is Jesus, who is this person.
0:31.0	It also reveals that there's really hope for everyone, because if Jesus could heal this person. It also reveals that there's really hope for everyone because if
0:33.6	Jesus could heal this guy. If he could fix his broken life, then there's hope for
0:38.5	you. That's heartwarming, good stuff right there. I already give you the application.
0:43.5	The Bible studies done. You can just quit now. Oh no, you care about the
0:47.2	interpretation too. Okay, we'll keep going then. Also it gives us some
0:50.1	interesting insights into demonology. So I'm not going to try and pretend like I know everything about some interesting
0:55.0	we'll talk about demonology,
0:56.0	but rather we're going to gather a few insights
0:57.0	from this passage that I think are very interesting.
0:59.0	We'll talk about some of that stuff
1:00.0	and probably we'll have an interesting Q&A afterwards, I imagine.
1:04.0	There's one other thing we'll do as we're in this passage, Mark Chapter 5,
1:07.2	this demoniac, the guy with thousands of demons.
