how silly art thou my friend to believe that we don't have extrabiblical evidence, their deaths are recorded and passed down, they gave their lives for Jesus in a hope that in the last days they would be raised with him.

You were there????? I did not realize that those who watched, also bled????Godzman said:their blood, the blood of the eyewitnesses to the resurrection

Which has nothing to do with death. After all, God sends sunshine on the good and the wicked, and makes rain on the just and unjust...Godzman said:true, but life is full of sin and decay
Like all creationists, John likes to pick and choose what is to be taken literal and what is not.Nathan Poe said:So...
When Jesus says his followers can survive poison, he's speaking in metaphor.
When He says you'll never break a bone, he's literal.
I think not Johnny; drink up.

Is that who you would like me to be?? Would you like me to be the at your next religious revival passing out the kool-aid, wearing a t-shirt that says, "Electric Kool-Aid Girl" ?? And then on the back of the shirt "Everyone is doing it, drink up."JohnR7 said:So, does that make you the electric Kool Aid girl?
Then by all means, chug-a-lug, John.JohnR7 said:Mark 16:17-18
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [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.
What is to pick and choose, read the whole verse in context. Mark tells us that these are the signs that will follow after those who believe.

There is a lot of difference between IF and THEY SHALL. I have seen documentarys on TV of some churchs down south that do handle snakes and drink deadly poison to prove the Bible is true.
