Bible Question: 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? |
