Once Bitten
Snake-handling Pentecostal preacher "Rev." Dwayne Long died after refusing
treatment for a snakebite he received a day previous during church service.
AP ran a story saying that Pentecostal members believe when people die from
a snakebite during a service, it is a sign that it was their time to go.
The Pentecostal crowd practices this deadly ritual tempting the Lord because
of their personal interpretation of a verse in the scriptures.
Mark 16:18 They shall take up
it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.
The Greek word "airo" rendered take up is better translated as remove, lift
away, or take away.
There are many verses in the bible that illustrate the truth of this translation
and we share one of them with you here: Ephesians 4:31
Let
speaking, be put away
We see proof in the fact that no biblical figure 'took up' snakes as the
modern Pentecostals do. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles we do see
Paul removing a serpent that bit him accidentally (not as part of a church
snake show) and suffering NO ILL EFFECTS and we believe that this is reinforcing
what the verse in Mark 16:18 referred to. See Acts
28:1-6 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called
Melita. And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled
a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because
of the cold. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them
on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said
among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped
the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. And he shook off the beast
into the fire, and felt no harm. Howbeit they looked when he should have
swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great
while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that
he was a god.
Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God.

ISIS is Watching You
DARPA has an airship called ISIS short for "Integrated Sensor is Structure."
The blimp is proposed to be three times the size of the Goodyear Blimp and
could keep watch over an entire city. Darpa program manager Larry Correy
says the ship and its technology could give them a "dynamic, detailed, real-time
picture of all movement on or above the battlefield: friendly, neutral or
enemy." Correy writes on his webpage, "The goal of the ISIS program is to
develop a stratospheric airship based autonomous unmanned sensor with years
of persistence in surveillance and tracking of air and ground targets. It
will have the capability to track the most advanced cruise missiles at 600
km and dismounted troops at 300 km."WND quoted DARPA's Paul Benda saying,
"We will apply this technology to track people emerging from buildings of
interest and follow them as they move to new locations." He added "Imagine
the impact it will have if ISIS tracks the movement of individuals for months.
Hidden webs of connections between people and facilities will be revealed."

Twisted Scriptures - Are the new versions just "per-versions"?
- by Kenneth M. Hoeck
From time to time, in this column, we present some comparative analysis of
the many different bible versions to show the errors of many of the modern
versions. Today we are looking at Matthew 1:2.
We can see in the new versions that there is a word removed. The word is
"Firstborn" (And knew her not till she had brought forth her FIRSTBORN son:
and he called his name JESUS). The Greek word for "firstborn" (also appears
in Luke 2:7) refers to Jesus was the first child (of several children) that
Mary had given birth to.
Matthew 1:25 And knew her not till she
had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. - KJV
[King James Version]
Email: TruthOnWeb@aol.com
Matthew 1:25 And
- KJV w/Strong's Greek [King James Version w/Strong's]
Matthew 1:25 and did not know her till
she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus. -
NKJV [New King James Version]
Matthew 1:25 But he had no union with
her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. - NIV
[New International Version]
Matthew 1:25 but knew her not until she
had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus. - RSV [Revised Standard Version]
Matthew 1:25 but she remained a virgin
until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus. - NLT [New Living
Translation]
Matthew 1:25 but had no marital relations
with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus. - NRSV [New Revised
Standard Version]
Matthew 1:25 And he had no connection
with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.
- BBE [Bible in Basic English]
Matthew 1:25 He did not have marital
relations with her before she gave birth to a son. Joseph named the child
Jesus. - GWT [God's Word Translation]
Matthew 1:25 but he did not know her
intimately until she gave birth to a son. And he named Him Jesus. - [Holman
Christian Standard Bible]
Matthew 1:25 But he did not make love
to her until after she gave birth to a son. And Joseph gave him the name
Jesus. - NIRV [New International Reader's Version]
It seems obvious that a certain influence is found in the new age versions
as the Catholic Church would like to keep Mary a perpetual Virgin
