Why don't people understand that the ending passages of Mark 16 are prophecies about the ministry of the Apostles, and not normative realities for the Church today?
>Acts 28:3-5
(3) "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.
(4) 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.
(5) And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm."
