Bible Note: Continuation 2 of 2 Now, as far as picking up serpents, and drinking poison. I could say, God will watch over us, the same as he did for PAUL, on the way to Rome, (Acts 28:3-6) 3) And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4) And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 5) And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. 6) Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. But take a look at this. Kind of a different light. Or Luke 10:17-20 17) And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on (SERPENTS and SCORPIONS), and over (ALL) the (POWER) of the enemy: and (NOTHING SHALL) by any means (HURT YOU). 20) Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Thinking of what Luke has just said, could this food be poison to us as Christians? 1 Corinthians 8:3,4 3) But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4) As concerning therefore the (EATING) of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. OK, I know it says (EATING), but I am thinking on the lines of anything that could be construed a food, or drink, something that we would consume. (NOW) Think of how many different ways, we can consume something How about false teachings that have, and still come into the Church? They could be considered POISIN to the hearer, but not (DEADLY) to the true believer. "Be careful what you hear". James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, (FULL) of (DEADLY POISON). Psalm 140 1) Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 2) Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 3) They have sharpened their tongues like a (SERPENT); (ADDERS' POISON) is under their lips. Selah. 4) Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. We are to keep ourselves, unspotted from the world. James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot (DRINK) the (CUP) of the Lord, and the (CUP) of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's (TABLE), and of the (TABLE) of devils. "GOD WILL PROTECT YOU" 1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye (EAT), or (DRINK), or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Tamara, all I am saying is, if we look at Mark 16:17,18, trying to make sense out of it literally, and cant, are we then to just throw our hands in the air, saying "We cant understand it"? Leaving it there. Or are we to SEEK, KNOCK, ASK . I have tried to stretch my brain, into every direction I could think of, trying to get some understanding of the verses in question. I do not believe we are supposed to take at face value, what something might appear to say. That is all I have tried to do. Maybe with these other scriptures I have posted here, they will spark something, allowing you, to look at things from a different perspective. IN Jesus Name Jim |
