Excuse me, but you need to read my posts more carefully and more s-l-o-w-l-y...
I never said this is something God wants us to do. I said snakes handlers have a legitimate point. I said numerous times the view of snake handlers is just as valid as those who explain it away. They have more scriptural foundation for their actions than legalists have implementing subjective dress codes. It is more foolish to put conditions on snakes and poison than to discuss
Any one else notice the attempt to trivialize my point by insinuating my point is foolish. Because you failed to articulate a biblical perspective without completely thinking it through, you resort to name calling. And you hide behind a scripture to do it. The Reckert like post is a last ditch effort to save face on an inconsistent opinon.

Until he does so, this whole conversation is pointless.
And if TV1 had a son or daughter that told him they were about to drink some cyanide to test God, would he honestly just sit by and encourage it? Somehow I strongly doubt it. 2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. |
