Re: Khabouris Manuscript - Thirdwoe - 06-09-2012 : Being from Kentucky, you don't handle them snakes too, do ya? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Shlama, Chuck Re: Khabouris Manuscript - ScorpioSniper2 - 06-10-2012 Oh no! I have had that question before LOL. Most of the snake handling churches are in Eastern KY, but I'm in the Western part of the state. I believe Jesus was using an idiom for spiritual opposition (we all know that the enemy is spoken of as taking the shape of/possessing a serpent in order to tempt Eve in Genesis and that the Apostle John spoke of the enemy as a serpent in Revelation 20:2). According to Lamsa, the snakes in Mark 16 are "enemies", so he would probably agree with my view that the serpents and scorpions represent enemies (even though I don't think Lamsa would agree completely because of my belief in the existence of Satan and demons). Re: Khabouris Manuscript - distazo - 06-10-2012 Was this figurative too? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Acts 28:5 Of course, I agree that it could mean 'enemy'. Re: Khabouris Manuscript - ScorpioSniper2 - 06-11-2012 No, it wasn't, but Paul wasn't tempting God like you would be if you purposely drank poison or danced around with a rattlesnake! |
