Okay, I am starting to see where you are coming from. The miraculous healings by Jesus, the walking on water, the feeding of the 5000 and so on are more powerful when taken literally?
No... that isn't exactly what I've said.

I am open to further exploration of the questions posed but we can move on if you like. We don't want to get too sidetracked from Mark's gospel.Well, I'm not completely sure that you gave a full-enough answer to my question either. Perhaps it's best we just accept that we see things differently and then move on back to Mark. I'm working on a reflection about Jairus' daughter.
It is still on my mind as well. There is the question of why Jesus wanted this particular story to be told. And I have been asking myself if it is possible the gospel writer was employing satire.I'm still puzzling about the Legion into pigs story.
As for today's post about Mark 5:21-43
What do we make of the leader of the synagogue requesting help from Jesus for his daughter? Was he desperate enough to try anything? Did he view Jesus differently than the other religious leaders? I don't think we have heard anything positive so far about any of these leaders.

One of the most chilling cases of demonic possession of all time.
unsafe says ---This tells the story of this girl ----listen if you dare ---some of the actual tapes that we made during the Exorcism are played on the video -----and If I am not mistaken here and I could be her demon was Legion ---she had more than one ------
unsafe - you were involved in the exorcism?
Not likely. It's a famous case that became the basis for the film The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
But @unsafe said (new emphasis mine), "unsafe says ---This tells the story of this girl ----listen if you dare ---some of the actual tapes that we made during the Exorcism are played on the video -----and If I am not mistaken here and I could be her demon was Legion ---she had more than one ------"
???
I saw that movie and was trying to remember the name of it. It was quite a while ago.Not likely. It's a famous case that became the basis for the film The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
