I don't remember a huge blow up. I remember the discussion was... Don't tempt the Lord. I asked what part of picking up the snake is asking God to sin.. Then it was said, tempting means to test God and we were not supposed test God. Then I provided multiple scriptural evidence which God says to test him and prove him. My point is if your are going to take the signs and wonders mentioned in Mark 16 as literal, one should take the picking up snakes as literal. It makes sense.
