Just wanted to amke it clear
that that is part of what many consider to be later additions to Mark. Many of us believe that was part of creating a cult and is simply wrong.

Just an aside.
but I can also see God saying, Look, you've had the gospel in America since the Mayflower,
​
is, of course, simply wrong. Not only was the Gospel brought to what became the US over 100 years earlier, the Mayflower group were not even the first English colonists. And they brought mostly intolerance, rather than Christianity.

Re: No illnesses?
Undigested Scripture will do that. You should always wait an hour after Scripture before going swimming or you'll get cramps and drown
