I was raised in the Pentecostal religion and was taught many things about having faith in God. Snakes was not one of them. I was told many times that I should always have faith in God and trust in him for all things. I personally believe trusting in God is a good thing and I also believe God expects us to use good judgement and common sense. Most Christians interpret these verses metaphorically rather than literally, emphasizing the spiritual power and protection that comes from faith rather than physical acts like snake handling. Very well-done video.
He values wisdom & knowledge. The Bible is inaccurate about human spirits destination upon physical death. Also, mistranslations. It's men's divinely inspired subjective perceptions. Bigotry & ignorance have driven folks away from church.
I am Apostolic Pentecostal Holiness to my core. As you stated, those words are absolutely in the bible. But also are the words, Tempt not the Lord thy God. As is, Use wisdom. You Momma is most certainly right, I was born into this faith and have never seen the act of snake handling or fire handling. My Pastor says it perfectly, you break out a snake and I break out the wall.
@@missyellzey8615 the tragic part is that the vast majority of biblical scholars admit that the end of the book of Mark (16:9-20) is a later addition and not in the original scriptures.

My father’s family is from Lee County in Ky and I had heard stories about this same thing. About snakes in their church and their beliefs about casting out demons and healing the sick and I can’t deny what is in the Word Of God about these things but I am too scared to even pick up a non venomous snake not alone one of those timber rattlers! I really appreciate your videos Buddy. ❤
You dont have to handle a snake of any kind.......thats plain out ignorance......thats not ......GOD...... IS TALKING ABOUT........GODS WORD SAYS NOT TO TEMP THE LORD THY GOD.......

I was raised Pentecostal and I believe in all of the signs following them that believe in his Name . The problem I have with handling serpents is that Everytime I've seen it and watched videos of people handling them in church, I've never seen anyone lay hands on somebody and God heal them from cancer or bring em up out of wheelchairs and I've never saw devils being cast out or any of the other signs except handling serpents . Now I'm not saying it's not happened, I'm saying I've never seen it where I live or anywhere else that they handle serpents. However I have saw Miracles happen in several different churches including deaf ears opened and blind eyes opened and I promise you it wasn't a bunch of Abra Kadabra stuff. A lot of it was little small innocent children that was absolutely blown away because they'd been healed. I'm just saying I'd much rather pray for someone to be healed or someone delivered from demonic possession than I ever would handling serpents .

If ya wanna see a story where a healing has happened research Delia Knox! She was paralyzed for many years(I think 13), Nathan Morris laid hands in her at a revival and she walked that day. As the weeks went by after the healing she got stronger and within months was leading worship. Great story, her husband is a pastor as well and they’ll tell ya this was a miracle!
@@RollTideRoll_GSP Her faith healed her. Just as Yeshua told those fortunate souls that He laid hands on and made whole. "Your faith has healed you. Now go in peace."

I have been a Sunday school teacher for decades. One Sunday the question came up: What would be an example of tempting the Lord? Snake handling came up. Our class lost two members because it offended a couple because we laughed about snake handling in Church.
Loved this video! I can’t imagine handling snakes. I used to go to a Pentecostal church and we didn’t handle snakes either. If I had seen a snake come out in church you would have seen me headed back out the door at lightening speed.

Thanks for the story .... I was raised in a pentacostal church ... I believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation... Never handled a snake 🐍 never been to snake handling church .... I am saved but I fall short of the "Christian" lifestyle (I try) religion also flies airplanes into buildings .... It's a relationship with JESUS that we need ... Relationship over religion... Stay safe , GOD bless ..... again great story ....

@BakerBaker1-9 I met God at the cross when Jesus saved me I'm washed in the blood of the Lamb. It's always been that simple . One Lord one faith one baptism . Ephesians 4 5 . For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved . John 3 17 . I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me . Galatians 2 20 . For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness but unto us which are saved it is the power of God . 1 Corinthians 1 18 . Father baptizes with the Holy Ghost thru the Son . John 10 30 Acts 11 16 Titus 3 6 . That's how I met God at the cross when Jesus saved me I'm washed in the blood of the Lamb . It still blows my mind and it happened ten years ago. Jesus kept me out of prison . Praise the Lord !
I’m from West Virginia, my grandpa was a Pentecostal preacher. I was raised in church, speaking in tongues and the Holy Ghost but I’ve never seen snake handlers. I am from the rural coal fields and I’ve seen plenty of poisonous snakes but none in church.
Worked in the neurological unit of an East Tennessee university hospital. We would occasionally get a snake handler (sometimes the same preacher multiple times). Some survived and some didn’t. Always amazed me.
We've learned a helluva lot in 2k years. We're expected to apply it and revise it as we keep learning. That pastor wanted to entertain for ego purpose or childlike attn seeking. The church isn't a concert or entertainment venue. God values wisdom & knowledge; respect other creatures' differences like culture, race and genuine sexuality. My late church Pastor was quasi-Pentecostal. So, when he said that snake-handling is a foolish misinterpretation, that's an understatement. Discernment, not literacy, is most important. Bible is also wrong about human spirits going straight to a destination upon death of the body. Ppl frown when told it's not a textbook. Thx for this.🐍🎃🍂💀
@BPierce777 Catholics already have wirh various Councils of This & That. Books of Enoch found with the Dead Sea Scrolls were excluded. There are mistranslations from Hebrew to Latin. Untruths like women are inferior, everyone is judged upon death, the Earth is 4k yrs old... Revision of interpretation is appropriate. That's how science works. It's continually updated & subject to revisit. Truths are learned along the way that negate previously held beliefs. Jesus stood for Truth. God values wisdom & knowledge. Do you?🤔
@BPierce777 Interpretation--Yes, as we learn. Only folks educated in contemporary history, language & sociocultural aspects should engage. Ignorant uneducated folks who lack discernment's two cents is worth just that.

I worked for Fanning funeral home back in 83 when the one had died from a snake bite. I remember while there, to make sure I watched out for what boxes I picked up. Mainly because the snake boxes almost looked exactly like boxes that we carried light stands in for the coffins. I was nervous as a wreck the whole time I was there. And yes, they handled snakes during the funeral. This took place in Jolo West Virginia.
I'm a funeral director / embalmer in Northeastern KY. In all the years I worked in the business, I never had one of those services. But there aren't any of those churches in Northeastern Kentucky that I'm aware . They are all in Southeastern Kentucky.

Amen! I believe every word in the Bible. But that is not a "mandate." I wouldn't ever say someone who does that is not a Christian. But how did man fall? He was deceived by a serpent. Why would you ever tempt God by handling one?
Respect other creatures' God-given qualities, just like we do with those of different cultures, sexualities & races. The Bible has inaccuracies. It's a compilation of men's subjective perceptions. It is divinely inspired but not a factual textbook. Literacy matters not without spiritual gift of discernment. Church pews are vacant due to literate folks' ignorance, bigotry & poor education.❤

My grandmother called the yukka plant the cemetery plant. I live in Central KY. They are found in old cemeterys here too. I have also heard them called Ghosts in the Graveyard.
I have always been intrigued with the yucca plants. Daddy's family is from Between the RIvers in Trigg County Kentucky and Stewart County Tennessee. Those plants are left behind from the residents forced out from their land; they sadden me for I think of when the families lived there.
Thankyou, great channel, love the calming voice. Love from Yorkshire England who sees many similar connections with the hillbillys with our folks. New subscriber here

Another awesome and great video Leo and Heather.... Thank You both for your hard work and determination. GOD bless you both. P.S. Stay away from snakes
I am a believer in the Bible, however it is now known that the second half of the book of Mark was not in any original manuscripts of scripture and possibly was added later by a believing writer to complete the chapter. Those words about snakes is not found in any other part of the 4 gospels or any other place in the Bible. I think some of these snake handlers don’t understand that this is not something we are supposed to do, but a metaphor to tell us that He will with us in difficult situations. I agree with Leo ‘s comments about it. It was brilliant how you found that graveyard by spotting the yucca tree!

I'm from McDowell County WV and went to school that way. 😂 Mac's sister Robin and mother Vicey are some of the sweetest women you will ever meet. I know his brother Chris has a church in Squire WV that still practices serpent handling. Mac is buried at he Hicks Cemetery in Phelps Ky
Quiet frankly I am surprised there is not a better marking of his final resting place! But THANK YOU LEO for your perserverance of tracking him down-great video!
I just found ur channel and I'm hooked I'm getting caught up and watching ur videos I am a country girl from Pennsylvania A COAL MINERS DAUGHTER ACTUALLY IM GLAD TO MEET YOU I HAD A COUSIN WHO HANDLED RATTLERZ AND GOT BIT IN MIDLE OF NOWHERE AND WAS LIFEFLITED TO PITTSBURG
I lput a "like' on this video, because I love your work, but I can't watch it because I'm terrifedof snakes. Thanks for all the work you put into all of your videos.
I do admire your diligence -- that grave is in a very remote location. I wonder why someone would want to be buried in a place no one is ever likely to visit?
I was raised church of God of the Bible. My uncle is a blind minister. He was traveling thru southern east tn. He was asked to preach. He got into the spirit and they handed him a snake. He ran as fast as he could. we never messed with snakes.
Great job Leo, you always do great videos, but this subject here can be very controversial but you done a great video and narration as always. We here in southern WV appreciate what you do for us and our history. Don’t let them forget where we came from. Appreciate y’all

My dad worked at a funeral home in Phelps. I think it was called Whaley-McCarty but not 100% certain on that (he worked at several funeral homes over the years). Anyway, I’m from Letcher County. I knew a snake handler, Joe Short. I went with him snake hunting a few times. His son Verlon, whom you may know from a short running show on the Discovery Channel, “Snake man of Appalachia”. I was standing right behind Verlon when he was bitten by the blackest, meanest looking rattler I’d ever seen. We were on top of a very high cliff in Virginia. Not sure of the location but they called the place, “Flag Rock”. Verlon nearly jumped off that cliff when the snake tagged him in the back of the leg just above his boot. He walk around the hill and prayed, then we left and he went home. We drove past a hospital and I asked why we weren’t headed to the ER. That’s when Joe said, “We can’t go to the ER or we’ll lose our faith”. To which I replied, “Well, y’all got more faith than I’ve got!”. We went on to his house and preachers started showing up from all over, some from as far away as South Carolina. And they brought snakes with them. I saw my first ever Cottonmouth as they laid it out on the living room floor. I had to step over it to exit the house. I was told Verlon passed out 3 times that night but was perfectly fine the next day. That was my last snake hunting trip with Joe Short. And my only encounter with his son, Verlon. My cousin and I caught the snake that bit him, my cousin kept it in his house for a time. I stopped visiting my cousin right away when he started keeping rattlers in his bedroom. I don’t knock snake handling churches, they are absolutely committed to their belief’s. But I’m more aligned with the scripture saying not to temp the Lord. If I was called to do it then I would. But the Lord hasn’t put it on my heart to take up serpents and so I’ve left it alone. Enjoyed your video, keep up the good work…,
Ive never seen graves on that steep of a hill. That's odd. Wonder why they don't have tombstones? They'll be lost graves before long when those little signs fade. Kids these days don't keep up with old family graves.
You have the most interesting stuff. Just amazed at your work. Thank you Leo. And your wife does incredible work finding out the information we love to see.
Beautiful scenery. I hate snakes. I had to close my eyes & only listen. There have always been zealots. I would do a lot of things for my faith but snakes are a big hard NO when my grandsons want to do something crazy their mother tells the little boys "that is a terrible idea" Snake handling in church is a terrible idea. Bad choices have bad ends.
I’ve been to this park many times but didn’t know this. Thanks for the video sir. My brother in law was born and raised about a mile from this very spot.
Lord, Leo, you know I have been too many snake-handling churches growing up in Logan County. We visited churches over in Mingo County, Wayne County and even over at McDowell County at War. ! I’ve seen a few bitten and sent to the hospital. Son and father both died at Logan General Hosptial. They were from the church over at Micco above Switzer in Logan County. It IS a horrible death, Leo!

Respectfully done Leo, I too just don't understand the whole snake handling concept but, I've always respected others beliefs ! I'm from Johnson county Kentucky and just about everything you and Mrs. Heather do reminds me of "back home"! I moved out of the holler to middle Tennessee, I get to go back home only twice a year, Easter and Thanksgiving and the occasional funeral ! But I love Y'all's channel really enjoy the content, keep doin what'cha Y'all do and may God bless Y'all !!
Mac Wolford had a favorite restaurant that he liked. I think his mother worked there. This video is excellent..! Perhaps his mother would be of assistance.
When we were small children...our moms sister invited her to go to her church...she went...geee oh..they handled snakes at this church...before our mom could get back home..daddy found out about this...and told mommy she better never go back there
I remember him he came to my small town in East Tennessee to help a fellow preacher who was Pentacostal and yes he had as many snakes as Mack!! I was at the church only once for a wedding no snakes that day because I would not have been there!! Also there was another pastor I believe in Virginia who died from a snake bite he was friends with Mack and the local preacher here in my hometown!! I live close to the Virginia and Kentucky border as well so tragic I'm a Christian but I don't think God asked us to do that I don't but if God told me himself I would but he hasn't so

I most definitely have always heard of these snake handling churches and preachers actually I don't live far from a church that does exactly what your story is about I've never been to one but I have thought about going to it just to see the snake handling that thought is still on the burner I'm not a snake liking person Thanks for your story and I hope you are doing well
I was raised Pentecostal not one of them that taught me the way of God has ever said you need to pick up serpents to make it to heaven I was always told you play with snakes you'll get bit by a snake so I stay far away from all snakes doesn't matter what kind they are
I live in Ky grew up in Eastern ky. I remember when I was young my parents would take us to different churches. Being Pentecostal we visited many different churches in Ky, WVa, Va, Tenn, OH, Carolinas, etc. anyway, I have been to a few snake handling churches. These people would talk in tongues, run around the church like a race track hollering and screaming, dancing, etc. it was enough to scare the hell out of you, especially if you was a child. Those snakes scared me half to death, they was throwing those things around like they was nothing.
Very sad for this nan & his Dad! I have heard speaking in tongues but poisonous snakes are really just crazy. I will keep my faith the way I was raised thank you. But interesting story for sure!!
I was raised apostolic guess the pentecostal faith. I was taught to have faith in God..go to doctor or hospital wen needed if your faith wasnt strong enough for healing.Gods healed me many times and ive seen ppl walk that was lame deaf could hear blind could see.also seen a lady healed of cancer that doctor gave up on her sent home to die pastor prayed for her she was healed lived an old woman was in early 40s wen God healed her..but this with snake handlers i believe in lack of Gods wisdom.God called 12 apostles none never handled snakes paul shook one off and was bitten and didnt harm him but it was a thing where paul was worshipping with snakes..ppl need to pray and ask God for wisdo🎉m.
Great video hard work paid pff this tine ! I know leo has heard comments about his backward cap every time i see him with the backwards cap.i think we're all 16 again and feeel like going to the arcade pr the ball diamond lmao !! I knew a chirxh hodden away in the south qho handled rattle snakes however they had over 40 rattle snakes theybalso had the rattle snakes non-venemus cousins you know the snakes that look loke a rattler but aint ! Ao you fogures ot out by now they used the non poisonous snakes to dance with and pass around the tent so when 1 got bitten byt never got sock they believed amd gave more funds to the church who also sold moon shine on the side you know Gods great elixir 😮😅
I always wanted to visit this area of West Virginia. What happened to his church? Though I embrace the Pentecostal movement....I don't do snakes. I admire his tenacity...he committed much time to the ministry.....he wasn't in it for money.
In 1963 my husband brought me to west va to meet his sister .big mistake.we were in jolo west va.i went to see there church I got to the front door and the music was so loud I looked at the front of the church those people were dancing and I saw snakes in there hand .I left immediately went up the road and got a blue ribbon beer .scared me to death . I never want back..oh I don't even drink...not for me
I`ve been bitten by copperheads but thankfully nothing worse and the bites weren`t severe. One was on my hand while clearing brush, one was on my right ankle in the woods while metal detecting, and one was on my right big toe by a baby one in my friend`s yard at night. The ones on my hand and my ankle were the worst but I didn`t go to a doctor. The bite on my hand where one fang got me melted a small hole in the skin and a lot of the venom came out within a minute. I was mildly sick for several days and my shoulder muscles quit working for 6 weeks. I couldn`t drive for a few days because I couldn`t see well and felt dizzy and strange with light sensitivity. My hand was bruised and swelled along with my forearm the next morning. The ankle bite caused a lot of swelling in my foot and I had to stay in bed for 5 days. The toe bite swelled and blistered very fast and when it popped I felt better and was ok. It hurt the worst so I`m not sure what kind it was. I had trouble breathing for a few minutes. Rattlesnakes & cottonmouths have never tried to bite me. I stepped on a rattlesnake`s tail once and he politely tapped my foot to let me know. I moved him to a safer place and thanked him.
I have never been able to understand how people can take parts of God's word and make it the whole focus. They totally ignore the scripture that says it is written that THOU SHALL NOT TEMPT THY GOD. Which to me, if you go out purposefully and do dangerous things, thinking you won't die, is tempting God.
I've heard of both places. My late ex Father in law lived in Paynesville. His old home place was in Jolo. Down the hill from the old home place and up the road was a snake handler church. Nooooo thank you. I don't do snakes.
As is sadly the case with Pentecostal "believers," they somehow believe that gifts that were given to the Apostles immediately after Christ's earthly ministry are somehow relevant today. These gifts were temporary and limited to a unique time in the history of Christendom. The blatant truth that "ministers" who try to practice this today often end up dead, is in itself PROOF that the "gift" of "taking up snakes" has no purpose today and is not under God's protection.
As you said do not tempt the Lord thy God. I would never recommend taking up serpents, but, there have been alot more people that have handled them without being bit than those who have. It would take someone alot smarter than me to explain it but I feel like it's as dangerous to pass judgment on someone else's standings with God as it is to handle that mean ole rattler!
This was such a great video my hillbilly brother. I'm getting ready to do a snake handling video on my channel coming up sometime soon. I really love your channel in your content. I believe that the lord was talking to his disapples in the book of Mark. Those verses are always taken out of context. You have to read the whole chapter to receive the whole story. If you all ever get down around East Tennessee, the smoky mountains around pigeon forge. Give me a holler sometime. I would love to hug your neck and shake. Your hand.
I really like your humanity. As an atheist myself I don’t understand why he would allow himself to be killed by a snake when he could have been saved by a very simple anti venom. But I also support his right to do that. As long as he wasn’t endangering others without their consent. Care about your fellow human beings is the key, no matter what their beliefs. Thank you for sharing this man’s story. He mattered to many, I’m sure.
My cousin Rodney that got bit by the ratler always had one or two in cages in his bedroom when he got bit I can't remember name but it was deep in PA mountains by grace of god he lived he spent like 3 days in hosp in pitts
@@pawilliams9786 Apparently so. But it also says they won’t be harmed. So if they read that literally they wouldn’t consider it tempting the Lord, just being obedient to the scripture.
The fulfillment of what that verse was talking about was in Acts when Paul was bitten by a serpent and did not die. It was not meant for all of us to handle snakes.
These churches that practice this type of thing are taking one verse out of the bible and turning it into worshipping snakes! They're making that snake into an idol. And it costs them their lives.
Did I hear you mention a Pruitt grave in that cemetery? I am here in Illinois and trying to do family history. Hearing not what it use to be. Thanks for any help.👍
I was raised in the Pentecostal religion and was taught many things about having faith in God. Snakes was not one of them. I was told many times that I should always have faith in God and trust in him for all things. I personally believe trusting in God is a good thing and I also believe God expects us to use good judgement and common sense. Most Christians interpret these verses metaphorically rather than literally, emphasizing the spiritual power and protection that comes from faith rather than physical acts like snake handling. Very well-done video.
He values wisdom & knowledge. The Bible is inaccurate about human spirits destination upon physical death. Also, mistranslations. It's men's divinely inspired subjective perceptions. Bigotry & ignorance have driven folks away from church.

You Momma is most certainly right, I was born into this faith and have never seen the act of snake handling or fire handling.
My Pastor says it perfectly, you break out a snake and I break out the wall.

My father’s family is from Lee County in Ky and I had heard stories about this same thing. About snakes in their church and their beliefs about casting out demons and healing the sick and I can’t deny what is in the Word Of God about these things but I am too scared to even pick up a non venomous snake not alone one of those timber rattlers!

The older I get, the more fearful of snakes I am!! I believe God would not want us to purposefully put ourselves in danger.
Wonderful work, Leo and Heather, I myself I will not get that close to a snake!

I was raised Pentecostal and I believe in all of the signs following them that believe in his Name . The problem I have with handling serpents is that Everytime I've seen it and watched videos of people handling them in church, I've never seen anyone lay hands on somebody and God heal them from cancer or bring em up out of wheelchairs and I've never saw devils being cast out or any of the other signs except handling serpents . Now I'm not saying it's not happened, I'm saying I've never seen it where I live or anywhere else that they handle serpents. However I have saw Miracles happen in several different churches including deaf ears opened and blind eyes opened and I promise you it wasn't a bunch of Abra Kadabra stuff. A lot of it was little small innocent children that was absolutely blown away because they'd been healed. I'm just saying I'd much rather pray for someone to be healed or someone delivered from demonic possession than I ever would handling serpents .

If ya wanna see a story where a healing has happened research Delia Knox! She was paralyzed for many years(I think 13), Nathan Morris laid hands in her at a revival and she walked that day. As the weeks went by after the healing she got stronger and within months was leading worship. Great story, her husband is a pastor as well and they’ll tell ya this was a miracle!
@@RollTideRoll_GSP Her faith healed her. Just as Yeshua told those fortunate souls that He laid hands on and made whole. "Your faith has healed you. Now go in peace."

That’s exactly what they are doing.
I have been a Sunday school teacher for decades. One Sunday the question came up: What would be an example of tempting the Lord? Snake handling came up. Our class lost two members because it offended a couple because we laughed about snake handling in Church.
Maybe God was taking him home.
Loved this video! I can’t imagine handling snakes. I used to go to a Pentecostal church and we didn’t handle snakes either. If I had seen a snake come out in church you would have seen me headed back out the door at lightening speed.
Glad you found him, knew you would. Great job Leo n Heather. Thank you

@heartlandguy1 I wouldn't do it but I don't call it nuts either . I remember when people were standing on dots during the BLM antifa insurrection . That was nuts
God gives us common sense for a reason and so many choose to ignore that part.
Yayyyyy! I’ve been waiting for a snake handling church story - ❤

Thanks for the story .... I was raised in a pentacostal church ... I believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation... Never handled a snake 🐍 never been to snake handling church .... I am saved but I fall short of the "Christian" lifestyle (I try) religion also flies airplanes into buildings .... It's a relationship with JESUS that we need ... Relationship over religion... Stay safe , GOD bless ..... again great story ....

@edhall3719 good scriptures... Praise the LORD ...
@BakerBaker1-9 I met God at the cross when Jesus saved me I'm washed in the blood of the Lamb. It's always been that simple . One Lord one faith one baptism . Ephesians 4 5 . For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved . John 3 17 . I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me . Galatians 2 20 . For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness but unto us which are saved it is the power of God . 1 Corinthians 1 18 . Father baptizes with the Holy Ghost thru the Son . John 10 30 Acts 11 16 Titus 3 6 . That's how I met God at the cross when Jesus saved me I'm washed in the blood of the Lamb . It still blows my mind and it happened ten years ago. Jesus kept me out of prison . Praise the Lord !
I’m from West Virginia, my grandpa was a Pentecostal preacher. I was raised in church, speaking in tongues and the Holy Ghost but I’ve never seen snake handlers. I am from the rural coal fields and I’ve seen plenty of poisonous snakes but none in church.
Worked in the neurological unit of an East Tennessee university hospital. We would occasionally get a snake handler (sometimes the same preacher multiple times). Some survived and some didn’t. Always amazed me.
We've learned a helluva lot in 2k years. We're expected to apply it and revise it as we keep learning. That pastor wanted to entertain for ego purpose or childlike attn seeking. The church isn't a concert or entertainment venue. God values wisdom & knowledge; respect other creatures' differences like culture, race and genuine sexuality. My late church Pastor was quasi-Pentecostal. So, when he said that snake-handling is a foolish misinterpretation, that's an understatement. Discernment, not literacy, is most important. Bible is also wrong about human spirits going straight to a destination upon death of the body. Ppl frown when told it's not a textbook. Thx for this.🐍🎃🍂💀
Revise it ? No
@BPierce777 Catholics already have wirh various Councils of This & That. Books of Enoch found with the Dead Sea Scrolls were excluded. There are mistranslations from Hebrew to Latin. Untruths like women are inferior, everyone is judged upon death, the Earth is 4k yrs old... Revision of interpretation is appropriate. That's how science works. It's continually updated & subject to revisit. Truths are learned along the way that negate previously held beliefs. Jesus stood for Truth. God values wisdom & knowledge. Do you?🤔
@BPierce777 Interpretation--Yes, as we learn. Only folks educated in contemporary history, language & sociocultural aspects should engage. Ignorant uneducated folks who lack discernment's two cents is worth just that.

Absolutely !! The music in the beginning of the video is great as well
If they took the Bible literally they weren’t playing stupid games, they were being obedient to the scripture.
@ they were “preachers” which should know the difference between literally and metaphorically.
I worked for Fanning funeral home back in 83 when the one had died from a snake bite. I remember while there, to make sure I watched out for what boxes I picked up. Mainly because the snake boxes almost looked exactly like boxes that we carried light stands in for the coffins. I was nervous as a wreck the whole time I was there. And yes, they handled snakes during the funeral. This took place in Jolo West Virginia.
I'm a funeral director / embalmer in Northeastern KY. In all the years I worked in the business, I never had one of those services. But there aren't any of those churches in Northeastern Kentucky that I'm aware . They are all in Southeastern Kentucky.

Amen! I believe every word in the Bible. But that is not a "mandate." I wouldn't ever say someone who does that is not a Christian. But how did man fall? He was deceived by a serpent. Why would you ever tempt God by handling one?
I have to agree
Respect other creatures' God-given qualities, just like we do with those of different cultures, sexualities & races. The Bible has inaccuracies. It's a compilation of men's subjective perceptions. It is divinely inspired but not a factual textbook. Literacy matters not without spiritual gift of discernment. Church pews are vacant due to literate folks' ignorance, bigotry & poor education.❤

You two find the most interesting stories!
Once again, thank you to you both for all your hard work and dogged determination!👏😊
God Bless🙏
My grandmother called the yukka plant the cemetery plant. I live in Central KY. They are found in old cemeterys here too. I have also heard them called Ghosts in the Graveyard.
I have always been intrigued with the yucca plants. Daddy's family is from Between the RIvers in Trigg County Kentucky and Stewart County Tennessee. Those plants are left behind from the residents forced out from their land; they sadden me for I think of when the families lived there.
Thankyou, great channel, love the calming voice. Love from Yorkshire England who sees many similar connections with the hillbillys with our folks. New subscriber here

Another awesome and great video Leo and Heather.... Thank You both for your hard work and determination. GOD bless you both. P.S. Stay away from snakes
I am a believer in the Bible, however it is now known that the second half of the book of Mark was not in any original manuscripts of scripture and possibly was added later by a believing writer to complete the chapter. Those words about snakes is not found in any other part of the 4 gospels or any other place in the Bible. I think some of these snake handlers don’t understand that this is not something we are supposed to do, but a metaphor to tell us that He will with us in difficult situations. I agree with Leo ‘s comments about it.
It was brilliant how you found that graveyard by spotting the yucca tree!

I'm from McDowell County WV and went to school that way. 😂 Mac's sister Robin and mother Vicey are some of the sweetest women you will ever meet. I know his brother Chris has a church in Squire WV that still practices serpent handling.
Mac is buried at he Hicks Cemetery in Phelps Ky
Quiet frankly I am surprised there is not a better marking of his final resting place!
But THANK YOU LEO for your perserverance of tracking him down-great video!
Thank you for another great story!
I just found ur channel and I'm hooked I'm getting caught up and watching ur videos I am a country girl from Pennsylvania A COAL MINERS DAUGHTER ACTUALLY IM GLAD TO MEET YOU I HAD A COUSIN WHO HANDLED RATTLERZ AND GOT BIT IN MIDLE OF NOWHERE AND WAS LIFEFLITED TO PITTSBURG
I lput a "like' on this video, because I love your work, but I can't watch it because I'm terrifedof snakes. Thanks for all the work you put into all of your videos.
I do admire your diligence -- that grave is in a very remote location. I wonder why someone would want to be buried in a place no one is ever likely to visit?
I was raised church of God of the Bible. My uncle is a blind minister. He was traveling thru southern east tn. He was asked to preach. He got into the spirit and they handed him a snake. He ran as fast as he could. we never messed with snakes.
Great job Leo, you always do great videos, but this subject here can be very controversial but you done a great video and narration as always. We here in southern WV appreciate what you do for us and our history. Don’t let them forget where we came from. Appreciate y’all
Very interesting video, I do believe that I will give snakes 🐍 a wide berth. Thank you very much Leo and Heather. Have a great day
😊
I used to know someone who was a Pentecostal minister who used snakes in his church. When I found that out, I couldn’t handle the friendship anymore.

My dad worked at a funeral home in Phelps. I think it was called Whaley-McCarty but not 100% certain on that (he worked at several funeral homes over the years). Anyway, I’m from Letcher County. I knew a snake handler, Joe Short. I went with him snake hunting a few times. His son Verlon, whom you may know from a short running show on the Discovery Channel, “Snake man of Appalachia”. I was standing right behind Verlon when he was bitten by the blackest, meanest looking rattler I’d ever seen. We were on top of a very high cliff in Virginia. Not sure of the location but they called the place, “Flag Rock”. Verlon nearly jumped off that cliff when the snake tagged him in the back of the leg just above his boot. He walk around the hill and prayed, then we left and he went home. We drove past a hospital and I asked why we weren’t headed to the ER. That’s when Joe said, “We can’t go to the ER or we’ll lose our faith”. To which I replied, “Well, y’all got more faith than I’ve got!”. We went on to his house and preachers started showing up from all over, some from as far away as South Carolina. And they brought snakes with them. I saw my first ever Cottonmouth as they laid it out on the living room floor. I had to step over it to exit the house. I was told Verlon passed out 3 times that night but was perfectly fine the next day. That was my last snake hunting trip with Joe Short. And my only encounter with his son, Verlon. My cousin and I caught the snake that bit him, my cousin kept it in his house for a time. I stopped visiting my cousin right away when he started keeping rattlers in his bedroom. I don’t knock snake handling churches, they are absolutely committed to their belief’s. But I’m more aligned with the scripture saying not to temp the Lord. If I was called to do it then I would. But the Lord hasn’t put it on my heart to take up serpents and so I’ve left it alone. Enjoyed your video, keep up the good work…,

Ive never seen graves on that steep of a hill. That's odd. Wonder why they don't have tombstones? They'll be lost graves before long when those little signs fade. Kids these days don't keep up with old family graves.
You have the most interesting stuff. Just amazed at your work. Thank you Leo. And your wife does incredible work finding out the information we love to see.
Beautiful scenery. I hate snakes. I had to close my eyes & only listen. There have always been zealots. I would do a lot of things for my faith but snakes are a big hard NO when my grandsons want to do something crazy their mother tells the little boys "that is a terrible idea" Snake handling in church is a terrible idea. Bad choices have bad ends.
I’ve been to this park many times but didn’t know this. Thanks for the video sir.
My brother in law was born and raised about a mile from this very spot.
Lord, Leo, you know I have been too many snake-handling churches growing up in Logan County. We visited churches over in Mingo County, Wayne County and even over at McDowell County at War. ! I’ve seen a few bitten and sent to the hospital. Son and father both died at Logan General Hosptial. They were from the church over at Micco above Switzer in Logan County. It IS a horrible death, Leo!
Nicely said conclusion Leo! Well done. 👌
Thanks for all you do
Pretty interesting 🤔... Always bringing us the most intriguing vids!!! Thanks so much y'all!!! 🎉

Respectfully done Leo, I too just don't understand the whole snake handling concept but, I've always respected others beliefs ! I'm from Johnson county Kentucky and just about everything you and Mrs. Heather do reminds me of "back home"! I moved out of the holler to middle Tennessee, I get to go back home only twice a year, Easter and Thanksgiving and the occasional funeral ! But I love Y'all's channel really enjoy the content, keep doin what'cha Y'all do and may God bless Y'all !!
I was raised a Pentecostal back in the day we were called Holly rollers ,Sanctified and we never bothered no snakes.
Mac Wolford had a favorite restaurant that he liked. I think his mother worked there. This video is excellent..! Perhaps his mother would be of assistance.
When we were small children...our moms sister invited her to go to her church...she went...geee oh..they handled snakes at this church...before our mom could get back home..daddy found out about this...and told mommy she better never go back there
I remember him he came to my small town in East Tennessee to help a fellow preacher who was Pentacostal and yes he had as many snakes as Mack!! I was at the church only once for a wedding no snakes that day because I would not have been there!! Also there was another pastor I believe in Virginia who died from a snake bite he was friends with Mack and the local preacher here in my hometown!! I live close to the Virginia and Kentucky border as well so tragic I'm a Christian but I don't think God asked us to do that I don't but if God told me himself I would but he hasn't so
I'm from same area and the other preacher died of a snake bite too. They had a show on TV. Snake Nation I think it was called.

Not fond of snakes myself. Interesting video, thank you.
I was raised in Parkersburg, WV, and raised Apostolic Pentecostal, with that said...I take the Indiana Jones Approach to snakes..."Snakes, I hate Snakes", lol.
I am a Kentuckian born and raised (although I am currently living in the New York City area.) Good video.

Excellent work!!
I love y’all’s channel, it’s always interesting
Yaaaaaay! You never give up! God Bless you and Heather 🙏🌹
Thank you for the journey 🙏
I was raised Pentecostal also and we never handled any snakes 🐍
I most definitely have always heard of these snake handling churches and preachers actually I don't live far from a church that does exactly what your story is about I've never been to one but I have thought about going to it just to see the snake handling that thought is still on the burner I'm not a snake liking person Thanks for your story and I hope you are doing well
I was raised Pentecostal not one of them that taught me the way of God has ever said you need to pick up serpents to make it to heaven I was always told you play with snakes you'll get bit by a snake so I stay far away from all snakes doesn't matter what kind they are
I live in Ky grew up in Eastern ky. I remember when I was young my parents would take us to different churches. Being Pentecostal we visited many different churches in Ky, WVa, Va, Tenn, OH, Carolinas, etc. anyway, I have been to a few snake handling churches. These people would talk in tongues, run around the church like a race track hollering and screaming, dancing, etc. it was enough to scare the hell out of you, especially if you was a child. Those snakes scared me half to death, they was throwing those things around like they was nothing.
Very sad for this nan & his Dad!
I have heard speaking in tongues but poisonous snakes are really just crazy.
I will keep my faith the way I was raised thank you.
But interesting story for sure!!
I was raised apostolic guess the pentecostal faith. I was taught to have faith in God..go to doctor or hospital wen needed if your faith wasnt strong enough for healing.Gods healed me many times and ive seen ppl walk that was lame deaf could hear blind could see.also seen a lady healed of cancer that doctor gave up on her sent home to die pastor prayed for her she was healed lived an old woman was in early 40s wen God healed her..but this with snake handlers i believe in lack of Gods wisdom.God called 12 apostles none never handled snakes paul shook one off and was bitten and didnt harm him but it was a thing where paul was worshipping with snakes..ppl need to pray and ask God for wisdo🎉m.
Great video hard work paid pff this tine ! I know leo has heard comments about his backward cap every time i see him with the backwards cap.i think we're all 16 again and feeel like going to the arcade pr the ball diamond lmao !! I knew a chirxh hodden away in the south qho handled rattle snakes however they had over 40 rattle snakes theybalso had the rattle snakes non-venemus cousins you know the snakes that look loke a rattler but aint ! Ao you fogures ot out by now they used the non poisonous snakes to dance with and pass around the tent so when 1 got bitten byt never got sock they believed amd gave more funds to the church who also sold moon shine on the side you know Gods great elixir 😮😅
I always wanted to visit this area of West Virginia. What happened to his church? Though I embrace the Pentecostal movement....I don't do snakes. I admire his tenacity...he committed much time to the ministry.....he wasn't in it for money.
Thanks for the video and story
In 1963 my husband brought me to west va to meet his sister .big mistake.we were in jolo west va.i went to see there church I got to the front door and the music was so loud I looked at the front of the church those people were dancing and I saw snakes in there hand .I left immediately went up the road and got a blue ribbon beer .scared me to death . I never want back..oh I don't even drink...not for me
Wasn't it Boyd Crowder in the show'Justified that used this tactic in an episode?
I was raised Pentecostal as well! Never heard of this! That's crazy
I`ve been bitten by copperheads but thankfully nothing worse and the bites weren`t severe. One was on my hand while clearing brush, one was on my right ankle in the woods while metal detecting, and one was on my right big toe by a baby one in my friend`s yard at night. The ones on my hand and my ankle were the worst but I didn`t go to a doctor. The bite on my hand where one fang got me melted a small hole in the skin and a lot of the venom came out within a minute.
I was mildly sick for several days and my shoulder muscles quit working for 6 weeks. I couldn`t drive for a few days because I couldn`t see well and felt dizzy and strange with light sensitivity. My hand was bruised and swelled along with my forearm the next morning.
The ankle bite caused a lot of swelling in my foot and I had to stay in bed for 5 days. The toe bite swelled and blistered very fast and when it popped I felt better and was ok. It hurt the worst so I`m not sure what kind it was. I had trouble breathing for a few minutes.
Rattlesnakes & cottonmouths have never tried to bite me. I stepped on a rattlesnake`s tail once and he politely tapped my foot to let me know. I moved him to a safer place and thanked him.
I have never been able to understand how people can take parts of God's word and make it the whole focus. They totally ignore the scripture that says it is written that THOU SHALL NOT TEMPT THY GOD. Which to me, if you go out purposefully and do dangerous things, thinking you won't die, is tempting God.
Great video ! I knew you would find the grave ! I can't stand spiders or snakes. I don't understand it . Thanks Heather and Leo for your hard work !
God bless you guys be safe 🙏 YOUR Oldfirekeeper Great Smokey Mountains N.C
I've heard of both places. My late ex Father in law lived in Paynesville. His old home place was in Jolo. Down the hill from the old home place and up the road was a snake handler church. Nooooo thank you. I don't do snakes.
Love love this video! So happy you did this one!!!!
As is sadly the case with Pentecostal "believers," they somehow believe that gifts that were given to the Apostles immediately after Christ's earthly ministry are somehow relevant today. These gifts were temporary and limited to a unique time in the history of Christendom. The blatant truth that "ministers" who try to practice this today often end up dead, is in itself PROOF that the "gift" of "taking up snakes" has no purpose today and is not under God's protection.
God would not tell someone to handle a poisonous snake he expects us to use wisdom that snake handling is not of God
Very well done. Thank you.
I visit Phelps often; know exactly where you are.
As you said do not tempt the Lord thy God. I would never recommend taking up serpents, but, there have been alot more people that have handled them without being bit than those who have. It would take someone alot smarter than me to explain it but I feel like it's as dangerous to pass judgment on someone else's standings with God as it is to handle that mean ole rattler!
This was such a great video my hillbilly brother. I'm getting ready to do a snake handling video on my channel coming up sometime soon. I really love your channel in your content. I believe that the lord was talking to his disapples in the book of Mark. Those verses are always taken out of context. You have to read the whole chapter to receive the whole story. If you all ever get down around East Tennessee, the smoky mountains around pigeon forge. Give me a holler sometime. I would love to hug your neck and shake. Your hand.
Your faith don't matter to no one but God, and he knows every ounce of it that you have.
I really like your humanity. As an atheist myself I don’t understand why he would allow himself to be killed by a snake when he could have been saved by a very simple anti venom. But I also support his right to do that. As long as he wasn’t endangering others without their consent. Care about your fellow human beings is the key, no matter what their beliefs. Thank you for sharing this man’s story. He mattered to many, I’m sure.
The good Lord doesn't want us 2 b ignorant that's 4 sure.This is crazy!!!
My cousin Rodney that got bit by the ratler always had one or two in cages in his bedroom when he got bit I can't remember name but it was deep in PA mountains by grace of god he lived he spent like 3 days in hosp in pitts
Great video. Good work man
When you test God and tempt the devil you're bound to lose.
Mark does not say you HAVE to handle snakes, it just some will.
@@pawilliams9786 Apparently so. But it also says they won’t be harmed. So if they read that literally they wouldn’t consider it tempting the Lord, just being obedient to the scripture.
Snakes have absolutely nothing to do with true Christian worship!
New subscriber. Found my new favorite channel! Finally great content not created with AI!!
Awesome, thank you!
The fulfillment of what that verse was talking about was in Acts when Paul was bitten by a serpent and did not die. It was not meant for all of us to handle snakes.
These churches that practice this type of thing are taking one verse out of the bible and turning it into worshipping snakes! They're making that snake into an idol. And it costs them their lives.
Being from the north I have never heard of let alone seen a snake handling church.
Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God. Handleing serpents is tempting God.
Did I hear you mention a Pruitt grave in that cemetery? I am here in Illinois and trying to do family history. Hearing not what it use to be. Thanks for any help.👍
Yes heard of both places
Hate snakes !! Love the scenery
That's why we handle bunny rabbits at my church. East Tennessee checking in
