It is interesting that people can curse God for letting us choose the serpent,
and then tell people to run to the serpent because God must be worse than the
serpent because he did not stop us from choosing the serpent..... If that sounds
confusing, it is because it IS confusion.
We are serving one or the other.
You cannot run from God without running to the serpent. I wouldn't tell a person
to embrace a poisonous snake under any circumstance...

No. Jesus prophesied these

No. Jesus prophesied these things would happen. He did not tell his disciples to
do so. In fact, we are commanded "thou shalt not tempt (test) the Lord thy God."
In Acts, Paul was putting wood in a fire and a viper attached to his hand. The
natives said, "see the man is cursed and god has taken his life...." Paul came
away unharmed, though the serpent had attached itself and hung off his arm. They
then believed in Jesus Christ.
If in the course of preaching and proclaiming
we come in contact with such things, they shall in no wise harm us, if we
believe.
You sure took a strange turn in the conversation! :-) You are also
showing how little you know of the basis of this discussion board. Please read
your Bible for yourself in the fulness of its context and you will find you are
laboring under many false ideas. I am not saying this in a mean spirited way. It
is simply that we discuss the Bible here and if you know the source of our
conversations you will better be able to add substance to the discussion.

Mark 16:18 They shall take up

Mark 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.
Jesus tells people to take up serpents and drink poison as a test of faith.
As for serving either or - How about serving neither!

I will say, I have seen some pretty clever retakes of this story, but this one
by far outdoes the rest. Lord help this man...
