(4.5) Yeah, I have been doing some catching up (via the search module) I just read the cpiening77 post and your response was appropriate, but I wanted a little elaboration on the issue of time and place, breadth and width of the word as it has been and will continue to be interpreted. 1-What do you mean when you say "take the Bible literall unless it says otherwise" in regards to the act of being bitten by a poisonous viper and not being harmed? I believe that word in ink, so it would bring too many other miracles of faith (in ink) into question if I took but, one out of context. (If I sound stern, or overbearing, please forgive me. In another life I used the excuse of being a Scorpio, now I know it's just my conviction and not a burden of birth.) I have no doubt of the allegorical representations contained in the Bible, but I strongly believe that faith is the binding principal concerning the integrity of the scriptures. In short, these miracles are fueled by it, so when I read the implication of "symbolism" compromising the obvious sign of Paul's Apostleship I found myself needing more information on where you gathered this conclusion. zoe |

Scriptute ... Mark 16:15-20, Acts 28:3-6 ...... God's day to you, Zoe, Some use Mark 16:15-19, to say they can pick up snakes, but I believe the promise was just to the 11 ... and I would include verse 20 to help prove my point. Paul didn't pick up a snake (Acts 28:3-6) ... it did bite him and he lived. I never said this was not literal. I did say he didn't pick up the snake. S |

I appreciate your attention on this matter. Now I see where our differences are. I believe the promises written in Mark were for everyone for all time, with enough faith. I see Paul walking with the same authority in Acts 16, 19, 27 and 28... proving the promises for all of us who weren't of the 11. I guess it doesn't matter that I disagree with you I was just confused by your original wording of that answer to cpiening77. I assumed you were implying that miracle was not in keeping with the words of Jesus in regards to "these signs shall follow them that believe." zoe |

zoe, so have you experienced ALL of these ... and how many times? in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover |

No I haven't... no, not one... I've never seen Jesus in the flesh either... but I hope (God willing) to be found worthy one day. It's definitely something I look forward to. Although, I have been involved in a healing that took place in Charleston, SC. A gentleman in his 80's had necrosis of the feet (gangrene.) He saw three doctors one of them being a vein specialist who found him to have no circulation in his legs from the knee down. He and his wife are devout Christians who go to a church with an intercessory prayer team who joined them in prayers for strength and healing. He goes in for the preliminary exam prior to the knife. The doctor found that all signs of the condition had been reversed and his circulation had returned... into dead limbs... in an 80 year old man. I work in video production, so, a friend who had been witnessing to me for 3 or 4 years called and asked me to help him put together the video. I was floored. An 80 year old war veteran almost running around his house (without a cane) trying to accomodate me while I document his story. Then the doctor came in to give his testimony and I realized at that moment I was in a divine appointment. I had read the Bible, in it's entirety, just a couple of weeks prior to getting this call. It was unfathomable to me that I would even be doing a video with this content. Most of my work was in crime, politics, and corporate crap... from Court TV programs to manufacturing plants. Then, after finally getting spritual inspiration, I read the word of God, I saw myself in the mirror of truth, repented, asked Jesus for forgiveness, and immediately I'm called to do Kingdom work. I look forward to these gifts... or at least experienceing people with these gitfs in the future. Just because I haven't experienced the promises of Jesus doesn't mean that they don't exist. I never had experienced a miracle before this healing that took place in Charleston, but I'm glad I did. zoe |
