1 | What is Mark 16:18 saying? | Mark 16:18 | cpiening77 | 70089 | ||
Was wondering why this is mentioned like this. I know that it is written "Do not put your Lord your God to the test" It is also written in Acts that Paul is bitten by a Viper and doesn't feel the ill effects of it. Some people thought think they need to take this out of context and dring poisen and pick up snakes. Any ideas? | ||||||
2 | What is Mark 16:18 saying? | Mark 16:18 | Searcher56 | 70097 | ||
Scripture ... Psa 78:56; Luk 4:12; Act 28:3-6 ... cpiening77, greetings and welcome to the forum. Many words, verses and passages are taken out of context. Even linking Act 28:3-6 is incorrect. Paul didn't pick up the snake, but, fireword. Remember not all promises are continual and for all people. Some are for ... - a specific group, for a specific time - a specific group, with a break between - a specific group, continual - a general group for a specific time - a general group, with a break between ... so read the entire context.

Searcher, please explain: 1-How do we take the bible literally in one instance and not others? 2-If promises are not continual and for all people could that also apply to reprimands written for specific conditions which are not in relation to sin? zoe |

God's day to you, zoe, You picked a post that was 4.5 years old. Did you read what cpiening77 posted, whom I responded to? 1-How do we take the bible literally in one instance and not others? ... Take the Bible literally unless it says otherwise. Some may view Jesus' removal of the eye (Matt 5:29) as not being literal. 2-If promises are not continual and for all people could that also apply to reprimands written for specific conditions which are not in relation to sin? ... While some promises/ penalties are not for all people or time, we can learn, even apply from the results. That includes what has happened to Israel and others. S |

(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 |

Hello Zoe, I am having a bit of a problem with a portion of your post namely the following. You suggest: “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.” Man’s faith in scripture has nothing to do with the integrity of God’s Word. The integrity is in place because of the fact that ALL scripture is God inspired. The writing of God’s Word is truth not because anyone has faith in it. Whether one believes it or not doesn’t change a thing with God’s written word; He is Sovereign and what He says is truth, i.e. The Bible. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: CDBJ |

faith: 1. Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. 2. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. If we conclude that one, or more miracles, cures, healings, or passage concerning the overcoming of incidents without explanation are misrepresented by vernacular, or "symbolism", then it creates corruptive thoughts. By the way CDBJ I was responding to this: posted by searcher56 12/17/02 "Even linking Act 28:3-6 is incorrect. Paul didn't pick up the snake, but, fireword. Remember not all promises are continual and for all people. Some are for ... - a specific group, for a specific time - a specific group, with a break between - a specific group, continual - a general group for a specific time - a general group, with a break between ... so read the entire context. Searcher" Anything taken out of context can be used to support, or usurp any viewpoint. Jesus died... and was resurrected.(he didn't faint, just because Pilate was surprised how quickly he succumbed.) Equally, the subject was not all "scripture" (that's why I used the plural form "scriptureS" so as to not make it the all encompassing "scripture") only the portions regarding miracles of the above mentioned nature where to be noted. I believe that the Word of God is unequivocally true and solid, but before we get to the point of pride let me deconstruct my point. integrity: an undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanting. I believe the same as you CDBJ. Without faith there is no "Faith." (We all lose the gift we've been given- we all know the Word of God is infallible, but interpretations aren't.) The statement that is truly in question is not the one CDBJ has cited unless you take it out of context. The premise of the discussion was Mark 16:18 (see above.) It is not a question of my faith in the Word it's the notion that the Word written in Acts 28:3-6 has no relation to the words of Jesus written in Mark. I only seek clarification on what makes the venomous beast fastened to Paul not coincide with the prophecy in Searcher's, or anyone who feels the same, point of view. Granted, the verse in Acts says he gathered sticks, but it also says a viper hung from his hand and he shook off the beast into the fire and felt no harm. Am I confused? zoe |
