I won’t even open the link. Stupid is as stupid does.
This guy’s father had a reality show until a snake croaked him. They usually refuse medical treatment after a bite and
are the same loons who drink strychnine to prove their faith, or something. I don’t get it.
‘”Me and Cody didn’t talk about religion until after we got married and all I said is, “God, what did I get myself into?”’”
Looks like you got yourself into being a widow at a young age.
HEAL!
And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, You shall not test the Lord your God.
So this appeared in the UK Daily Mail?
So that superior Brits can say, “Stupid Yanks and their primitive ways. He must own guns, too.”
There's a reason why there aren't too many snake-handling churches left in America.
We loose more Pastors that way.
So according to their own theology, the father as well as the son both have sin in them?
Seems counter intuitive for a Christian to boast he is sinless on its face, let alone trying to prove it by handling a serpent then being bitten and hospitalized or killed because of it.
The FAIL is strong in this family.
The guy wasn’t smart enough to know that one should only do snake handling services in cold weather?
LOL, Notice there are no hyena pastors anywhere! They learned.
When you play with fire, you’re gonna get burned.
Living by the flesh and reading the Bible using you carnal mind will always get you into trouble.
Matthew 4:7 for example, says, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”
If your going to play with snakes you better know what they do.
Snake handlers.
I hope he doesn’t read about Daniel and the lion’s den while he’s recuperating.
I grew up with a kid who caught those snakes for the tent preachers.
The trick was that he would put the snakes into a giant freezer and *almost* chill the snakes to the freezing point.
He just barely kept them alive.
He’d take them out and prank our neighbors by letting them “thaw” on their front porch.
Huge fun to watch people squeel!
Anyway, not all of the preachers knew the “freeze” trick to handling the rattlers.
They didn’t last long.
On the other hand, all of the good con artists kept the snakes chilled until just before their sermons.
A good rattlesnake tent revival sermon is entertaining!
Not worth much more than entertainment, though.
Anyway, the moral of the story is that if you don’t know the freeze trick and handle rattlesnakes anyway, then you are going to be bitten.
It’s a parlor trick, not an Act Of God.
Good Grief.
What is shocking? He is playing with an Eastern Diamondback Rattle Snake
