Jerry McKee I was raised in the Pentecostal church my mommy was a preacher! I've been to a snake handling church when I was younger and needless to say I didn't feel anything but fear in that church...I knew once they opened the box up and those snakes appeared I went outside...my grandmother took me up there and I had no idea what this even was until I saw it for myself! Its so sad that people die from this! Jesus said if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me! This is an idol and men worshipping an idol not God! Its the same as if there was a golden calf made...Thou shalt not worship any graven image ...why is that so hard for them to see?
Jerry McKee he said out of his own mouth that he just likes to do it.. It gives them a rush explain that one? If God was at all.in this people wouldnt die from the snake bite..people are maimed for the rest of their lives from it.. Withered hands..and all sorts of other neurological issues its self harm and when you know that you play with a poisonous snake you are on a suicide mission!
Faith, my suggestion for you is to go to this church and ask all the questions you need. They would tell you anything you want to know. I was there just to video the service and ask questions. I am not judging the way they worship,. I do not worship that way, I just bring you other ways people worship.
These people love the Bible and generally use the King James Version. They base this on Mark 16:17-18, "And these signs shall follow them that believe...they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them." That phrase "they shall" in formal use or in legal documents means a requirement or obligation. It's in the future tense, indicating that something will happen or be done by the subject “they.” For example, “They shall go to the market” means that they will go to the market in the future. If you have an argument with these people and their Bible interpretation, you have to take it up with the translators of the King James Bible. I am not one who would hold out their hand and take a snake, but I can definitely see why they believe what they do. And before we ridicule them, we need to remember that "the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God." - I Corinthians 3:19.
doughboy3690 Only issue I have with it is how they pick and choose what parts of the Bible to be so vocal about. There’s also a verse in the Bible that says I am god, do not test me. That’s exactly what these people are doing. Then look at the majority of the people that practice this branch of “Christianity” One of the deadly sins gluttony is just ignored. Look at how obese these people are.
These men could talk for day's but it's obvious nobody can tell them what they do is wrong. Cody has an answer for everything but nothing he had to say could rationalize what they are doing.
And on that day they will say to me"Lord we prayed for the sick, cast out devils in your name" and I will say unto them, depart from me I never knew you.
Yes I have spoken to Linda about the loss of her daughter and when Little Cody got bit by a snake. She is doing good raising her wonderful granddaughters.
At 10:36....there both the same snake, just one is a subspecies, but mainly only geographical. But herpatologist are now saying it's only a color morph.
The scripture in Luke doesn't mean to literally handle serpent's....or to drink any deadly thing....it means if you would accidentally come in contact with a venomous snake or accidentally drink something deadly that God will protect you..... it's doesn't mean that you go and get a rattlesnake and run around with one dancing around like an idiot.....🤪🤪🤪
Agreed. The Apostle Paul had an incident, where a Snake that was hidden in the wood that he was carrying, came out, and bit him on the hand. The Apostle Paul didn't know that it was there. He shook the Snake off into the fire, and no harm came to him. These people are deliberately playing with these Snakes! When one of them is bitten, then we see what happens next!
This was 4 years ago and the serviced lasted about 2 hours. This link here in my youtube is more of the preaching. th-cam.com/video/1Wpe4syYZTI/w-d-xo.html
I'm sorry. but no i don't have to respect anything to do with your snakes. in the bible a serpent is a sinner . what are you doing for sinners? but if you people think you're doing right by picking up a snake. that is your god to you worship your snakes. that's your business. case closed.
Sorry, you do not read anything I say! I do not handle snakes or practice it. I just video and document. In this document, they are not worshiping snakes, again you are not looking at what they are doing. I must say, we all are sinners, including you. There is one Judge, it is God.
Yeah Right. it's in the old KJV Bible and the New testament , 2 cor 6:7 , you may document, but I am a Child of God. I Love Everyone's souls , but not their ways. For God Is Love.
A snake is not an unclean thing, the 21,000 different religious organizations invented from mans interpretation of scripture is the unclean thing. These people are just crazy. Jesus spoke in parables on purpose so people wouldn't try to build their own religious organizations. Religion and government are of man not God. The Jews in the bible are today's Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, etc. We have to be set free from all bondage even religious bondage.
Revelations 20:2 that old serpent, which is the devil...... they misinterpret mk 16:18, With the power of the Holy Ghost we shall tread all over satan!!!!!
I love how these people worship the lord but messing with snakes I believe lord when he talking about serpents he talking about satan evil things in this world I know GOD wants us to trust him but I don't think he wants us temping his word.
RIP sweet Katrina Coots❤️!!!! Dear Lord Jesus, comfort her family until they meet her again in glory!! RIP dear Melissa Saylor, too, who went to glory the same instant as her little sister in Christ, Katrina Coots🙏🏻❤️!!!!!
APJ’s Experience Her and a friend were killed in an automobile accident on a dark and rainy night. I was told that they were coming home from a church service. The driver, her friend Melissa, accidentally hit the shoulder of the road and over corrected, which threw the car they were in into the other lane, and a pickup truck slammed into the side of their car, throwing the car into the ditch, killing Melissa and Katrina instantly. The driver of the pickup was not injured and not at fault. Such a tragedy, but they are with the Lord in glory, a much better place than we are in, my friend.

oldn dayzd I was raised the old fashioned way, too, and although I don’t believe in snake handling AT ALL, but I do have respect for these dear people as my brothers and sisters in Christ!!!!
Mark 16:18 is real and right! Taking up serpents is a Bible sign and no one has the right to deny it. This interview was fine, but, unless Mr. Coots couldn't remember, he lied when he claimed his first time handling a serpent was at 18 years of age. He was handed a serpent at around 8 or so years old under the anointing. Brother Barnes was preaching/prophesying that, 'This night I have locked the serpents jaws'! Many people handled the serpent that night! Children, it's real!
With all due respect on the passing, RIP... Could that just be a warning or a sign from the Almighty and what you're doing with those poisonous snakes dancing with them it's not a very good idea? It's outright suicidal
You really have to look at it as they do. They believe it is a command to do this. If they get bitten by the snake and die, which Jamie Coots did. They believe that God took him home because God saw he was going to be on the wrong path or something worse is going to happen to him. So, God brought him home.
SissyBlackWidowSpider THEY will never learn!! They are brought up in this stupid ignorant teaching and they are doomed to die the same as his father! They are just ignorant backwoods ignorant woods people!!
Im not going to knock it. All i can say is handling snakes is not my ministry
love you cody
And these signs shall follow those who believe. YES SERPANTS IS ONE OF THE SIGNS
😂 “I’d rather handle snakes than eat”😳🤦🏻♀️
If the anointing is with you like the bible says . If God be for you who can stand against you
"My people perish for lack of knowledge." Because they lack gospel knowledge, they perish in tempting God. How utterly foolish!
Hey Cody sorry about Trina. God bless you all
How do you explain breaking the Law?
You would have to address that question to them. I was there to interview and video.
Rooted and grounded in what?? Believe a lie and be damned?? I mean you get bit once and almost die and you go right back to it?? This is insane!!
Thank you for your opinion. Strong belief!

Do not temp god. I guess they never read that part.
They believe that the last chapter in Mark is a comment to do, nothing about tempting.
