Re: Snake-handling Pentecostal pastor
snake handling is one of those things that Christians just don't agree on.

When the subject of snake handling comes up I always think of this old song:

God honors faith, not stupidity, snake handlers are not of God.

Re: Snake-handling Pentecostal pastor
I have no problem with it personally after all, there is somerthing in that same portion of scripture that talks about speaking in tongues to, and there is plenty of that running around so why not do it all the way and handle the snakes to after all we cannot pick and choose what we what to do in the bible but some do..

 We can blow it off on here as if they are not an issue at all. But if we lived in an area where the snakehandlers are prevalent, I think we might just feel a little more strongly about it. At least they did when I lived in Kentucky for one year.

Re: Snake-handling Pentecostal pastor
I see it similar to the prophets of Baal cutting themselves...

Re: Snake-handling Pentecostal pastor
You point could be valid if you discount whay Jesus said in Mark. Are there scriptures stating a sign of a believer is cutting thenselves? Good try. The only possible way you can explain the scripture away is to say that verse wasn't in the original text. If you do that, then you have to discard the other signs of believers.
I don't believe we should pick parts of a verse to apply and throw away the parts we don't want to deal with. A lot of people do that with that scripture.
