Subject: Are you convinced? |
Bible Note: Ray I'm still not sure of your question :-(. The paragraph "And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation." certainly does not seem to fit. However verses 16-18 Mark 16:16-18 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. [17] "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; [18] they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Seem to also carry problems. First v16 seems to also include baptism as a requirement for salvation yet no where else is that inferred to that degree. V17 seems to put more emphasis on sign manifestations than what should be left behind by Christians. Love, joy, peace, hope, patience, and etc. This has caused many abuses of the gifts of the Spirit and a lot of confusion within Christianity. While all are true our focus is not on manifestation but rather the risen Savior. V18 seems to be in contradiction to nature in that if you drink a something deadly you die if not it wasn't deadly. Poison would have been a better word choice and God doesn't make mistakes. I know about Paul and viper, and I believe if your about the Lord's work you are under divine protection and therefore exempt by miracles of the forces of nature should a need arise. I just think this passage while true is written by man rather than inspired. Again let me say nothing in any of these verses contradict anything written in the Bible and the concept of each is certainly Biblical. I just question their origin they seem to have been composed by man to fill in what he thought was missing. I think Mark 16 should read verse 9-15 then 19-20 however I believe everything within 16-18 as being scriptural I just think it is poorly stated. PS To casual readers I'm not a heretic and I truly believe in the gifts of the Spirit. Ray glad to hear you are doing well my brother!!! EdB |
