Snake handling preacher killed by snake

reply to post by MarioOnTheFly


I said it before and ill said it again, he died because god want his good soul at his side

Those scriptures are questionable and are not found in all manuscripts, I learned this years ago, it is probable they shouldn't be there at all.

It's another one of those things where people will say, "Oh my God, what a tragedy, how could this have happened?"

I tell you, I have a 7 foot long corn snake, which isn't poisonous, who has bitten me several times. It isn't the most pleasant feeling because they have some decent sized fangs. Only reason why the snake ever bit me was because I would snatch him out of his tank and mess with him for other's enjoyment. Big surprise, huh?

Another atheist circle jerk thread!!! cheering on the death of another human being and talking about how you wish more Christians would die this way, and you say Christians are the ones filled with hate.

Matthew 4:5-7 ESV

Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

These people are dying by there own arrogance and stupidity. how is walking around with snakes helping anyone.

Mark 16:18
English Standard Version (ESV)
18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

just to point out :

no matter what definition of serpent is used , how many of this type [ snake handling congregations ] follow the second fragment of that verse ???????? . I cannot find any record of a congregation that does it

its my opinion that religious snake handling is a scam - subistuting a mix of good practice , good luck , knowledge of snake behaviour etc for aledged " protection through faith "

and further they don't ingest poisons - because they know full well that the LD100 of a toxic compound is absolute

You are right! Their supposed faith in Christ protects them, right. Then I wonder how they would explain a "godless" Hindu snake charmer escaping the fatal bite of the cobra? lol

Here is an example of how I handle deadly serpents:

His was the ultimate example of personal responsibility.

If you're gonna go, go by doing what you want.

The Devil (tm) went down to Georgia because he was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind .......

Mother nature: 1
$upreme Deity: 0
Brainless Idiot: -1

(-1 as in, one less idiot polluting the gene pool)

He believed superstition would protect him from a snake bite. He found out otherwise.

The snake got a head shot shortly after I grabbed the pic. I wanted the head to id the species. There are some neurotoxin species out here that are particularly dangerous and I wanted to know. Meat? Tastes like chicken….#. lol
