Jesus and Miracles - Theology notes cont....
Jesus - story telling miracles. Historical memories. Parables - stories of miracles.
- no eye witness
-evangelistic retelling of miracles.
- Miracles come to us in scripture. Meant to open our eyes, not to be proven or disproved, but mark of God moving.
Demons name Jesus
* Jesus asks - What is your name?
Solomon asks demons his name. Once demons name is known, then has power.
Responsible - when she knows name, she has the power. The name here is Legion. The Roman Legion - First century Legion is unmistakeable (green beret of American Army). Military Language is in 5:11, company of pigs. Army does plunge into the sea. Exodus 15 - I will sing to the Lord, throw to the sea. In Mark, we're treated to this Roman Army being cast into the sea and drowning. Legion is bowing down to Jesus. Begs Jesus not to be thrown out of what they just got control of. Like the armies of the Pharaohs. No one has been strong enough for the demon except by Jesus. In casting out Legion, Jesus anticipates the casting of Roman repression. In Mark 5 - tried to opperate Legion. Comic ok, but also with a potential system. Mark in either case, sets against demons. Jesus is stronger - casts out Satan. Here he confronts Imperial. How the claim becomes an explicit claim. Politics and Religion - two sides of the same coin. Miracles are broader than the individual.

Navigating Substack
https://silvaredigonda.substack.com/subscribe?params=%5Bobject%20Object%5D
Well, I finally went on Substack and quickly navigated how it works. I think I have enough knowledge to function but not thrive. This is experimental for me as I decide what I will keep here and there. I have decided that all Theology notes will continue here. I have already posted an introduction on substack. I also posted about my trip (cruise) which I had posted here. I shall continue on substack with a continuing post about the cruise but thoroughly for subscribers, starting next week. I would like to post once weekly there and figure out what I can give paid subscribers. This is a transition and learning curve for me. I want to establish my media more efficiently. I want to attend at least one of two webinars today. One will begin at 3pm and another at about 7pm. This will be about marketing. The other about using resources. I may just attend both. It is best that I gain as much knowledge as possible. So here is the plan. I intend to learn more and take advantage of my Associations. I want to maximize my time better. I still want to have fun, socialize and become more organized through this transition. I want to continuing studying the realestate market and leave Toronto when it becomes practical. This is a city people want to live in and I do love my home, but I would like to move and travel. How will I fit all in? I'll manage and I am in no rush. I want to find another house to live in for the rest of my life. What do you think? Do you want to subscribe?

Would you like to subscribe in my transition from here?
https://silvaredigonda.substack.com/subscribe?params=%5Bobject%20Object%5D
What I have to figure out is what will people be paying for that they cannot get here. I am slowly in transition as I try to work out what is best for me as well as my readers.
