Yes:2:52, And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." How could an omniscient being (Jesus) "increase in wisdom?" And how could God (Jesus) increase "in favour with God? (Jehovah/Yahweh)"
4:5, The devil takes Jesus to the top of a mountain and shows him "all the kingdoms of the world." The world was flat in those days.
6:29-30 Invite someone that has hit you to do it again, and if someone steals from you offer them something additional. Don't turn down any borrowers, and when you loan something don't ask for it back.
9:7-8,There were various opinions about the identity of Jesus. Some thought he was Elijah or one of the prophets; others that he was the risen John the Baptist.
9:27, Jesus falsely predicts that some of his listeners would live to see him return and establish the kingdom of God.
9:39-42, Epilepsy is caused by devils.
18:20, "Thou knowest the commandments." But apparently Jesus didn't, since he only named five of the Ten Commandments. (Notice that the five on Jesus' list are the secular ones that make no mention of God.)
22:36, "He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
18:25, Rich people cannot go to heaven (?). "For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

∙ 7y agoThe greatest challenge is found in Luke 18:19, where Jesus acknowledges that he is not God: "And Jesus said unto him,Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God."

How does Mark's portrayal of Jesus present a challenge for the reader?
A:Three important ways in which Mark's Gospel portrays Jesus are:Racist. In chapter 7, he called Gentiles 'dogs' and only agreed to help a Gentile woman when she humbly accepted that description.Given to irrational anger, as when he cursed the fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season.Less than divine. He had some extraordinary powers and God called him his son, but Mark did not believe him to be one with God. For example: 6:5: And he (Jesus) could there do no mighty work.10:18 Why call me good. There is none good but God.These portrayals present a challenge for the reader conditioned to believe in Jesus as without sin, and fully divine and pre-existing.
