someone teach the guy how to use the function.. please!! :lol

I need some schoolin' thas' fur shure...

There is something wierd about people believing the Bible says what it means and means what it says.

That's what I was thinking!

If you believe it, then join thier movement.

Read what I've said to tv guy.

Don't you believe it?

I would have to be DEEP in the spirit (out of my mind!)before I would attempt to handle a rattler!

Someone asked earlier if I have ever walked out of a church service. Let me tell you...I would RUN out of that service! :D

Sure, but I'm not going to look for a snake to pick up, are you?

How twisted is religion when one can make up a imaginary dress code yet can't believe a literal translation of the Word.

Don't take the candy from the baby... that is their lollipop!:killinme

No. My post was TIC. I just think it's odd for some of you guys to put down people like snake handlers, while claiming to believe the Bible is the infallible, inspired word of God, and want to interpret it literally. The same scripture that talks about handling snakes is often used to justify requiring tongues for salvation:

Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

It's a list of signs. One of them is speaking with new tongues. If that means a Christian must speak in tongues, then a Christian must also take up serpents. You first. Take a swig of Clorox, while you're at it. It won't hurt you.

Oh, not supposed to tempt God? How would this be tempting God? It is proving Him. Malachi 3:10. 1 Thes 5:21. 2 Cor 13:5. Seeing if His Word is true. What's wrong with that? What a testimony that would be to the world! Call a press conference! Live on TV! (Oh, TV, sorry. Sore spot for some!)

Lots of nutty people around! :killinme

These folks are nuts ,everybody knows snakes are for eating and not handling.

Yes, and snake liver bile is especially effective as an aphrodisiac so I hear Scott. Of course I've never tried it myself. It's a magic potion for men. :sshhh



:killinme

I'll have to try that.I bet they make good snake burgers in Oregon ,I just bet The MRS. fixes them often.

They sure have playing old style rock and roll down pat. They dress like it's the 50s too! :D

These folks are cousins to 'ole time' pennycost! Everybody has strange folks in their family! :)

Nutcases abound!

Ok, being completely honest here...hate those snakes...but LOOOOOOVE the music!!!! That is awesome! Folksy, dated, but I LOOOOOOVE it!

Puro rockabilly Bro! :D

They sound like a white "Los Lobos" hahaha

video removed

oops.. baby nudity.. my bad

Maaaaaaan, couldn't watch that last video, yuuck!

And my wife got mad at me for bringing home a pet pirhanna...I named him "Chewy"...God rest his soul, he's in heaven now (I think my wife kiled him)

:lol:lol:lol

dude, why are you laughing??:sly

That music is great still doesn't make me want to p/u a snake....

and TV & Timmy.... When's the last time you picked up a snake??

These folks are just keeping the traditions they have been taught. It's probably really bad to think it's wrong in their minds. If they said it was wrong and strange they would probably be accused of having a bad spirit of rebellion. Anyway, I believe that God will bless the honest heart searching and hungering for Him.

And yet, many of them have been bitten -- and harmed. Some have died. What's up with that? Not enough faith? OK, but what about the ones who are not bitten? Enough faith? Or skill and luck? They know what they're doing. They know how to hold them safely (with the occasional goof, of course).

They can't lose: When it works, it's God. When it doesn't work, it's lack of faith.

Seriously, why don't these people chug some cyanide or something? Now that would show some faith! (If it works!)

I don't have a literal belief in that scripture, personally.

(BTW, it hasn't been that long. I have a pet python!)

Dude even though I hate SouthPark, I LOVE Timmy!

Love that Av, bro!
