How would you show the fallacy of snake handling when they say, "Well, Mark 16 lists all these things you do, BUT you say snake handling is just figurative"?

I love you, Bro. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Somewhere there has to be a list of best all time questions - and this one one ranks right up there among the very best.

Re: I'm witnessing to a snake handler
I was going to suggest taking this to the "Carpenter is taking questions" thread... he seems to have all the answers.... LOL

Re: I'm witnessing to a snake handler
Looks like him and his church and some of the other snake handling churches in KT are going thru some trouble with the law, some of them are getting arrested. I also asked about death rates in his assembly, he said a lady died last year from snake handling. He says he knows of the JESUS Only snake handlers, but he doesn't agree with them. I wonder if Apostolic snake handlers treat trinitarian snake handlers like their brethren, or if they treat non-snake handling Apostolic more like brethren. Those snake handling Apostolics may be giving him a different message than I'm giving him, this young man seems terribly confused, and things to be tough in his church/life situation.
GOD BLESS!

I've handled gardner snakes! Hee-Hee! This is just so bizarre! I cracked up when I read this! It's kind of sad when you think about it though. I guess they hold this teaching to be very important to their faith.
Good Luck on this one! Don't be messin' with snakes!

Re: I'm witnessing to a snake handler
I handled a garden snake too! Us church kids were raking and doing yard work and a sister found a garden snake and I did my snake-handler's Pentecostal dance... then the snake urinated on me.
GOD BLESS!

I'd take that as a sign to stay out of the snake handler's church, though I don't think I've heard of anyone complaining about that before.
