FULL TITLE: Shocking moment a Kentucky snake-handling preacher is bitten and has to be carried from his church, four years after his pastor father was killed by a rattlesnake
This is the startling moment a controversial American pastor, whose father was killed after being bitten by a snake, is himself attacked by a serpent.
Cody Coots is the pastor at the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus’ Name church in Middlesboro, Kentucky - one of America’s last remaining snake-handling churches.
During his sermon, Pastor Coots can be seen handling a snake as he preaches to his congregation.

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!
I thought they milked the venom before the service.
At least he wasn’t a fraud. He could have been handling harmless king snakes (some have rattler like patterns).
And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, You shall not test the Lord your God.
They make the mistake of tempting God after reading Mark 16:18. They also misinterpret Acts 28:3-6.
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.”
RTFA
The word “Dumbass” comes to mind... immediately.
“They make the mistake of tempting God after reading Mark 16:18.”
Cody made the mistake of not reading Darwin Award 1.01.
I read the article.
Now, if her husband keeps handing rattlesnakes, she is going to be a widow sooner rather than later.
There's a reason why there aren't too many snake-handling churches left in America.
We loose more Pastors that way.
Anglican denominations ordain gays. So, yeah...
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.
