that focused on this passage:

Mark 16:18
they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

They had some venomous snakes that they would pass around the congregation. Unfortunately, some people were bit and died.

Every one of them should be last in line - Rabbit Test MU - 4/9 13:43:09

should people who go to the grocery store be last in - Spanky KU - 4/9 13:50:51

Food is needed to survive. Going to church is not.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 4/9 14:53:36

Still not a reason to allow government overreach. (nm) - MIZ45 MU - 4/9 15:37:34

Why? (nm) - MIZ45 MU - 4/9 13:46:01

Seems dumb to me, they can show their faith at home..nm - bcoop199 KC - 4/9 13:37:32

I am sure the local sheriff wont do anything - meatiger MU - 4/9 13:18:00

because the Constitution protects free exercise of - Spanky KU - 4/9 13:36:04

huh?(nm) - meatiger MU - 4/9 13:50:36

RE: huh?(nm) - Spanky KU - 4/9 14:29:34

They should be put in a lions den(nm) - El-ahrairah BAMA - 4/9 13:21:34

pretty well underscores the level of indoctrination and - 90Tiger STL - 4/9 13:15:00

It’s a pretty important holiday for many people - El-ahrairah BAMA - 4/9 13:19:50

I made no comment about the right or wrong of gathering, - 90Tiger STL - 4/9 14:16:57

I would agree it brings several factors into consideration - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/9 13:22:13

When one looks at the millions of Christians across the - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/9 13:19:15

doesn't matter - kmawv8 MU - 4/9 13:05:56

no-one is forcing anyone to attend - Spanky KU - 4/9 13:02:41

1000 people together at the same time =/= 1000 - 90Tiger STL - 4/9 13:16:27

So you want the government to force people to not - Spanky KU - 4/9 13:26:49

no, i don't want that. want to try to read what I did - 90Tiger STL - 4/9 14:18:00

Kinda like you did with my post?(nm) - Spanky KU - 4/9 14:30:28

not remotely, not even related, no. try again (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 4/9 15:04:57

Shopping at Costco is likely far worse than attending - Spanky KU - 4/9 15:21:15

I believe the key distinction and difference is that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/9 13:06:04

I believe that the government may not enact a law - Spanky KU - 4/9 13:29:03

Depending on what the religion teaches of course. - GA Tiger MU - 4/9 14:50:30

great example of my bad argument(nm) - Spanky KU - 4/9 15:55:20

And I would agree with that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/9 13:31:15

Which law was passed that restricts free practice of - Spanky KU - 4/9 13:34:39

I believe some would argue states saying you cannot - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/9 13:36:26

Few judges would agree with any confidence that ruling - Spanky KU - 4/9 13:47:21

And that is a factor Christians must consider - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/9 13:52:19

Everyone should consider that when deciding if they - Spanky KU - 4/9 14:05:08

Some would say shooting abortion doctors on their - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 4/9 14:08:01

who would say that?(nm) - Spanky KU - 4/9 15:26:56
