I can see that you are unable to back up what you've asserted is true in this thread.
Uh... what translation is THIS from?
"He told them", the apostles And these signs will accompany be witnessed by those who believe: In my name they, the apostles will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
--Mark 16:15-18
No ma'am- I've backed it up plenty- & I see you don't care to hear what those commentators have to say- Again- show me the true miracles taking place today on command- Can't? No, didn't think so. As for the 'healings' How is it that that they don't heal everyone? Ah- once again, it is 'because the person didn't beleive' Which is exactyl contrary to God's word. But, that's just a distration, right? Look- you beleive what ya want- it's obvious this issue riles you- we'll avoid anymore- I've already laid out why there are no more miracles on demand by appointed apostles- the fact is that's the truth. You've yet to show anyone who can heal, and you've yet to address th3e question of why only certain 'gifts' survived while the obvious fact is that the miracles gift is no longer around, nor is the drinking poiso9n or handling snakes a viable gift any more because peopel DO die- God didn't say we had to muster up a certain amouint of faith in Him in order to do these htings- He simply said they needed to beleive in Him- which a saved person already does- condition met- The arly beleivers could immediately drink the poisons, immediately survive snake bites, could immediately do miracles- They didn't need to 'work their way up' by building up tolorances as these modern day snake handlers do. I want ot also point out that when bitten, they DO become quite sick and need emergency medical treatments and lose flesh and fingers due to bites- Don't see that mentioned i nthe bible-
Anyway- bleeive if ya want- I'm done- it's obvious you want to beleive- so have at it.
