Are you afraid of bones in a human physiology class?


I’ve worked on Search and Recovery Teams (we found and bagged remains rather than licking them), I was trained as a combat lifesaver, I’ve worked casualty and mortuary affairs. I’ve also been drenched in other peoples blood on multiple occasion.

I don’t “fear” bones or any other remains. Do you know why we call them “remains?” The soul is gone. The remains is all that is left. When you buy food do you eat the packaging?

The remains is all that’s left....

2 Kings 13:

13 Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 14 Now Elisha was suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. “My father! My father!” he cried. “The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” 15 Elisha said, “Get a bow and some arrows,” and he did so. 16 “Take the bow in your hands,” he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. 17 “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.” 18 Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. 19 The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.” 20 Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. 21 Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet.

Interesting. By the way did the protestant contingent ever produce a picture of someone licking human remains? I mean I know they're hard at work posting every pic on the internet to this thread, but so far no joy.

Or the more likely scenario is that it is nothing more than another in a series of lies and calumnies by protestants.
