I know that my friend. That was not my point. I am sure many a Christian have died from a poisonous snake, or by drinking poison of some kind. My point was to show that those verses are rediculous. And probably added at some point by some scholar. For if that verse was true. Then everyone who follows God would never get sick or die by those things.
Dear EG
How do you know these verses were meant to be taken literally, instead of symbolically? Many things
in Scripture are figurative, not literal. Why is the literal meaning of these words the true one?
This verse is okay if taken symbolically, ISTM.
