Re: Do you think we should pick up serpents?
A few years ago my wife and kids hounded me about getting a pet snake. I am very afraid of them. I finally got my wife on my side by reminding her that the snake she wanted would have to be fed mice. She loves animals and the idea of having to feed the snake cut little mice did the trick!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Cut mice? You didn't tell her that the snake swallows the whole mouse?

Re: Do you think we should pick up serpents?
Unbelievers. Right there it is in big red letters...
Mar 16:18 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.
A metaphor? Well, since laying hands on the sick is included, I suppose thats a metaphor, too. No, Mark 16:18 are the Words of Jesus, and carry just as much weight as anything else He said. But there are those who say, "But I don't believe in taking up serpents." Well, while you're busy harping on "He that believeth and is BAPTIZED shall be saved...", don't forget the rest of it. "... he that believeth not shall be damned. " That, too, is in red. Afraid of snakes? Its the fearful and the unbelieving that, well, you know what it says. Afraid of being bitten? Do we believe the Bible or not??? Jesus gave us power over the serpent and the scorpion and He said NOTHING would harm us.
Luk 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Oh, I believe the Bible, you say. Well, if you did, you'd take up the serpent just like Paul did. You'd put some action to your faith because faith without works is dead. Don't believe something as Bible as taking up the serpent then turn around and preach long dresses, and shaved faces... something that ain't even in the Bible.
Jesus said "These signs SHALL follow..." Thats a COMMAND, folks. "They SHALL take up serpents...." That a command from God and if it ain't obeyed, well, hell is a hot place filled with people who refuse to obey God.
You better line up with the Word and obey God. If you ain't handled the serpent, you ain't got no business totin' around that Black Book because you don't even believe it. Claimin' to preach the Gospel and have the Holy Ghost and ain't even got enough faith and power to handle the serpent. And claim to have power over the devil?

Re: Do you think we should pick up serpents?
Moses took up the serpent. Paul took up the serpent. We claim to serve the same God and refuse to do what Jesus commanded us to do?
Oh, its a metaphor. Jesus didn't mean that.
Mark 16 is not a part of the original manuscript.
Blah, blah, blah. I've heard it all before. But, there it is right in front of you. None is so blind as those who refuse to see.

Re: Do you think we should pick up serpents?
Wow, sure got quiet in here. We got any real signs following believers in here or not?
BELIEVER: One who believes and acts on God's Word.
UUNBELIEVER: One who ..well, doesn't believe.
MAKE BELIEVER: One who picks and choose what he believes. And pretends to believe when his works prove differently.
