Uyi Iredia: The man made a terrible mistake. Snakes are dangerous and should be handled with the utmost care. That he didn't have an anti-venom ready -as far as I can guess- is bad. Now some inane atheists are having fun making a joke out of all this. It's sad, really sad.

I think we need to stop confusing faith with foolishness.

Faith is mostly foolishness.

Sorry, painfull truth

Mark 16: 17-18 reads, "And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. 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."

The guy out of his faith followed what the bible said and it failed him as always. . .Now the people here are just blabbing any how. . .The same people will talk about extra ordinary healing like their god rising people from the dead etc but when you tell ask them about clear cut healing, like healing of amputees and restoring their amputated limbs back the same goons will begin to blab. . .religion always wins. . .People will always provide excuses for their god even when his alleged word fails. . . .Religion is pure delusion. .

Faith seemingly is mostly preposterous or absurd

but nah, never foolishness short of fake/false/deluded faith

@Kay 17,@JeSoul

He and his father had successfully exercised their faith with an enviable track record

However when an electric device is turned off, there is something called residual power

The residual power is not the same as the real power

because the residual power has not completely dissipated

there is the danger of a false sense of security

This is a wisdom issue, where both men were unwise.

What was right, was that the men made wrong decisions and wrong choices of FOOLISHLY not realising that the power has left.

They were unwise in not making the right decision and not realising when to draw the line

So as with Saul and Samson before them when the Spirit of the LORD/LORD had left Saul and Samson,

both men became nàked to the elements and vulnerable

Certainly the LORD God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God

Ptolomeus:
Martyrs?
Martyrs do you speak?
Of the persecuted Christians in the government of Constantine?
Of the victims of the Inquisition?
From the Crusades?
Of African slaves?
The extermination of American Indians led by the Catholic Church?
Of innocent children and women killed in the bombing of Guernica?
The outcome of the Franco-Vatican agreement?
Of those killed by the Nazis with the consent of the Vatican?
Of the children abused by Catholic priests in the U.S.?
Sorry, I did not realized, can you explain better?

logicboy:
Typical cold hearted christian.

I'm sure that you would say the to child slaves or people who have sufferred at the hands of christrians eg Oyedepo-slapped wich for jesus

ifeci:

I don't understand what you mean but its actually funny when people just quote a Bible verse out of context. as you will realize, most bible verses have deep meanings, not surface values as some will carry it "as is".

Kindly separate fact from fiction.

The scripture you quoted does not suggest that christians should be playing with snakes as a sport which is what is shown by the video posted by kamilara.

God's word cannot fail when followed according to spec.

A lot of times people misunderstand the word of God and pay the price

ebamma: he died for wat he believed in,wat is your own belief.
