They shall take up serpents? You stated MARK 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Don't drink poison. Other Christians have done so, and they all died. With all the revisions the Church has made to remove such words as "piss" from their bible, do you think they would remove such harmful words as these? No. Because these words have the mystery, the magic, and the secrecy. So what if it costs a few lives from time to time from the mentally ill or weak, that look to their bible for a sign of comfort?? This shows me just how little comprehension that you have of the Bible. This was one of the gifts that Jesus gave the Apostles and others during His ministry on earth. We are no longer in the Kingdom Age but the Age of Grace as brought forth through the Mystery of Grace commission that God raised up Paul for. Please remember, the Bible is for us but not everything is to us or meant for us. Remember Paul being bitten by the deadly serpent in the firewood? Won't you admit that Christianity is even stronger in the new millinium as it ever was. Just think; An itenerant preacher with a 3 year ministry teaching love and compassion whho was crucified by the Romans 2000 years ago. We date our calendar because of Him. There are over a billion Catholics and just as many of the other denominations combined. It has spread to Russia, Africa, and even has a foothold in China. All social engineers like you always thought there was a higher law than the 10 Commandments. Hitler was dead wrong. Mussolini was dead wrong. Lenin was dead wrong. And you, my friend, are dead wrong also. It is Christianity that has primed the consiousness of men and allowed us to defeat these social changes. We are now in an age of Biology. It will take the voices of Christians and Christian morals to keep science in check else men would play God with genetic engineering. Whatever new evils come to bear, Christ's message contains the means to overcome them. A good day to you, Santiago
