What is in you? Mark 7:16-21

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   Yesterday, in Mark 7:14,15 Jesus said what you eat does not defile you, but you are defiled by what is in your heart.
   Today, Mark 7:16-21 Before we go on with this scripture, as a sidebar, the King James version has verse 16 "If any man has ears to hear, let him hear," however the New App, NIV, New NIV all leave out verse 16 - why?  WHY?  Are we deleting from the Bible?  Hmmmm!
   Okay, starting with verse 17 Jesus entered a house to get away from the crowd and his disciples asked him what he meant by the parable he had just used.  Hmmmm!  Do you think Jesus was tired of his disciples not understanding either.  He replied, "Don't you understand either?" (aka - duh!) Then Jesus told them that the food that goes in the mouth passes through the stomach, and then to the sewer.  So, the food is just a way faring stranger passing through a foreign land, leaving bits and pieces of nutrition along the way.  Then what does Jesus say?
   Jesus said, it is what comes from inside that defiles you.  Jesus said from within, or out of a person's heart comes the evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy slander, pride, blasphemy, and foolishness.  These all come from within and that is what defiles you.
   I enjoy playing golf. Most of the time it is enjoyable; recently I played with two young men, late teens (19), and when they hit a bad shot they thought a curse word had to go with it.  After 9 holes, it becomes offensive.  So what causes this?  Why do we feel we must do this?  In the club house they are totally different.  Hmmm.  Could something be askew?  What would you do in this situation? Interesting!   Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace,
