UK: The Serpent has Spoken

Son of pastor killed by snake during sermon is bitten by deadly snake during sermon
"A pastor whose father died within seven minutes of being bitten by a snake has himself had to have emergency treatment after suffering the same injury.
Cody Coots asked his congregation to take him to the mountaintop where God would judge whether he lives or dies.
However, a defiant follower takes him to hospital instead where doctors told him the snake came close to severing the temporal artery, which would almost certainly kill him.
His father Jamie Coots died at the age of 42 when he was bitten by a rattlesnake in 2014 at the same Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus’ Name church in Middlesboro, Kentucky.
The church is inspired by the biblical verse Mark 16:18: ‘They will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them.’"

Sounds like they forgot about "Do not put the LORD thy God to the test".

You tube In Jesus' Name: Taking up Serpents. It's a 45 minute video that documents Glenn Summerford's church in Scottsboro that is pretty famous for their snake handling practices. He was later convicted of attempted murder of his wife by snakebite.

Just finished watching this.
I read a book a long time ago called Salvation on Sand Mountain. It started off following Glenn Summerford’s trial and then folllowed the author into Appalachia where he ended up attending church (and ultimately handling snakes) for a couple of years after the book was complete. Very interesting read.

If these people want to take themselves out this way I have no problem with it.

Funny thing is the last verses of the book of Mark don't appear in any early manuscripts that have been found. It wasn't found anywhere, until manuscripts dated later than 1000ad started showing up with the added verses.

I've always wanted to go to a snake-handling church just to see it. It's kind of fascinating. I'm not very religious, but very religious people are interesting to me.
