How does Mark portray God?
In Mark's Gospel, the focus was on Jesus, with very little reason to portray God. However, Mark did portray God in the passages on the baptism of Jesus and the transfiguration. In Mark 1:11, there came a voice out of heaven, saying Thou art my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. In Mark 9:7, a cloud overshadowed the disciples and a voice came out of the cloud. So, when Mark had to portray God, it was as a voice out of heaven or out of a cloud.

What gospel views Jesus as fully human?
In Mark's Gospel, there is no suggestion of the virgin birth. God adopted Jesus as his Son, when he announced this at the baptism of Jesus. Jesus knew that, although he had extraordinary powers, he was not divine, saying (10:18), "Why call me good. There is none good but God." Jesus was fully human.By comparison, both Matthew and Luke had Jesus born by a virgin birth, with Luke saying that the Holy Ghost would "come upon" Mary. Although these gospels did not equate Jesus with God, he was more than just human. John's Gospel states that Jesus was divine and pre-existing.

What is the story of god jesus and god?
God sent His Son Jesus to earth to save mankind. He made the virgin Mary pregnant with Jesus and had Him grow up as a Jewish child, so that he could be fully human and fully God, the only way that He could save mankind from our sin. He was crucified on the cross and forsaken by God so that He could take on all the sin of mankind. The story of Jesus can be read in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the first four books in the New Testament.

Why did Mark portray the disciples of Jesus as not understanding who he really was?
Mark frequently stressed that Jesus instructed witnesses to his miracles to keep his true identity a secret. The demons always seemed to know who he really was, but not his disciples.Dennis R MacDonald (The Homeric Epics and the Gospel of Mark) recently argued that this was the result of Homeric influence, with Jesus a counterpart to Odysseus, who also had to keep his identity secret. This is an interesting theory, but not yet widely accepted by scholars (assuming it ever will be).Another possible reason could be that Mark needed to show why few people had ever heard of Jesus at the time he wrote his Gospel, even though Mark described so many great wonders and miracles Jesus performed in the recent past.
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.
