Answer

Mark portrayed Jesus as a man possessing every human emotion. Moved by compassion, anger, frustration, mercy and sorrow (Mark 1:41, 3:5, 8:17, 14:6,33). Jesus ministered among His own kind. Mark offered the full humanity of Jesus without reservation (3:21, 4:38, 6:3-6, 13:32) from the beginning of His earthly ministry (2:20), Jesus lived in the ominous shadow of the cross until the agony of Gethsemane almost overwhelmed Him (14:34). Mark wrote his account of the life of Jesus in terms that would comfort Christians suffering for their faith.

Did Mark consider Jesus divine?

The perceived divinity of Jesus evolved over time during the apostolic era. Mark, written approximately 70 CE, portrays Jesus as the messiah (anointed one), son of God, son of man (a human being), but not as truly divine. It was not until the fourth gospel was written decades later, that Jesus was finally portrayed as divine and pre-existing.This is how the author of Mark's Gospel portrays Jesus, but we can not be sure what he himself really believed. Harold Bloom (Jesus and Yahweh: the Names Divine)says that Mark invented Jesus. It may be that earlier Christians (proto-Christians) like Paul and the author of Hebrews only worshipped a spiritual Jesus.

Who invented Jesus Christ?

AnswerWe can not be certain that anyone invented Jesus Christ.If anyone invented Jesus of Nazareth, it would have been the author of Mark's Gospel, which appears to have been written in 70 CE. At least we know that the other New Testament gospels were based, directly or indirectly, on Mark, and that those authors knew nothing of the life and mission of Jesus apart from what they read in Mark.Even if Mark invented Jesus of Nazareth, Hebrews seems to predate the Gospel of Mark and yet it refers to Jesus. But Hebrews refers to Jesus as a High Priest in heaven, not as a human who lived on earth in the recent past. Arguably, the Jesus of Hebrews was not the Jesus of Nazareth whom Mark describes.Wa also know that Paul taught of Jesus Christ at least two decades before the Gospel of Mark. Once again, it seems that Paul may have been speaking of a more spiritual Jesus than the gospel Jesus. And he knew nothing of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, as Mark describes after the death of Paul.So, if anyone invented Jesus of Nazareth it was the evangelist now known as Mark. But he did not invent the Jesus of Paul's epistles, nor the Jesus of Hebrews. The origin of this Jesus remains a mystery.


What is Mark's understanding of Jesus?

A:The perceived divinity of Jesus evolved over time during the apostolic era. Mark, written approximately 70 CE, portrays Jesus as the messiah (anointed one), son of God, son of man (a human being), but not as truly divine. He had human failings - he was a racist and was prone to irrational anger such as when he cursed the fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season. It was not until the fourth gospel was written decades later, that Jesus was finally portrayed as divine and pre-existing.This is how the author of Mark's Gospel portrays Jesus, but we can not be sure what he himself really believed. Harold Bloom (Jesus and Yahweh: the Names Divine)says that Mark invented Jesus.
