“My cherry-picked interpretation of the Bible indicates that real Christian’s don’t handle snakes” “Well my fundamentalist interpretation of the Bible, surely also cherry-picked but in different places, indicates that only the pious can survive the venom, so yolo why not?”
I was bitten by the deadliest deadly rattlesnake in Ky, my spirit left my body, thank you Jesus, for few live to tell about it. I pray with love and compassion for these precious most sincere Christians thats blind as I use to be.
You should share what you experienced in that moment millions of us would like to know. My friend had a similar experience but he doesn’t talk about it. Hes was when he was bitten by a monacled cobra 🐍.
I live about 25 min from squire ain't no way I'm picking up a rattle snake 🐍 I love god and Jesus I've heard of few of them snake handlers dying maybe they should switch over to pythons or something
Rock and roll stripped to it's bare bones and Hillbilly roots. Love the music but can't say the same about the frenzied worship service aspects. Not exactly doing all things decently and in order (1 Cor 14:40).
Amen brother, you're preaching to the choir now lol. Yes, I am Apostolic Pentecostal as well, definitely not the snake handling type though! If there's not an exit nearby I will make one if I see a snake in the church 🤣, pastors wife right beside me!
Christ said in the Bible when Satan tempted him during the 40 days to throw himself off the high place. Christ said "It is written Thou Shalt not put the Lord they God to the Test!". This is taking Mark 16:18 out of context! 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.” This refers to ACCIDENTLY picking up and bitten by a poisonous snake or drinking poison not intentionally doing so.
I've watched several of the videos of snake handling churches lately and I've noticed two things all of them have in common. The rock-a-billy style music and the rymthatic swaying and dancing of the people. I honestly think this has something to do with making the snakes less aggressive and more docile. I'm also curious about the fire. I don't recall reading about that in the Bible, unless they possibly use the account of the three men in the firey furnace in the book of Daniel. That would be a far stretch to use that passage to justify it though. the whole thing reminds me of Hindu snake charmers and the fire walkers in certain cultures.
I know these “people”. The level of inbreeding and ignorance is only exceeded by their hypocrisy. All on the government dole. The most venomous animal there is Curly from the 3 stooges(aka Chris Wolford) He has quite a foul mouth for a “pastor”. God delivers? Then he should drop the suboxone
Look up holiness fire handling in southern Appalachia for an article about it. Its basically the same concept of the snakes and drinking poison. Which is if your pure of faith and virtue god will not allow you to be harmed. Idk if there is actual scripture they adhere to as with the snakes tland poison though.
I think snakes are basically deaf but they could I guess feel the vibration from the music but I'm not sure about any of that , but do they actually have sermons and preach about many things in the bible, or is it all and only about snakes, drinking poison, holding a fire under your chin, and playing music and spinning around in circles and hopping around and wallowing on the floor, and speaking incoherently , just wondering

@Hope Browning I don't believe that for a minute, especially not from any actual big name players. He is basically playing the same basic riff over and over with a brief little change up occasionally. Nothing difficult at all about wat he's doing, an intermediate or advanced beginner could do this. It sounds impressive or difficult to someone who doesn't play but it really just isn't. Were I the type to make videos, I could certainly replicate and show what's being played here. It's just a simple bluegrass style riff.
@Hope Browning Dude you know nothing about me. I'm 36 years old and have played guitar since I was 14. To anyone with ears and who understands music that is nothing but a simple repetitive riff. I'm guessing ur impressed bc u know nothing about playing
This is awesome, especially the music is amazing. Wow!. I guess that the elderly lady is the same who was featured in a documentary in the 60ies or 70ies. A Serpent Handling Church is on MY bucket list, too.
@@vince11harris Because we don´t have this in Europe. We don´t even have real Pentecostal churches here. The ones that exist or call themselves Pentecostal have questionsble doctrins and horrible music. Never felt the Holy Spirit in any church here.
trust me the snake is more afraid of you and would gladly beat you out the door if it was allowed to do so. they just want to be left alone by themselves and not to be part of some kind of side show here
If they've got the door blocked, jump through a window! If they don't have a window, unless you can knock a hole through the side of the Church, well..... I guess you're screwed....so: Don't go in there, in the first place!!!
Are the species of snakes limited to rattlesnake and copperheads? Is the only poison they drink stychnine? The bites of the snakes mentioned are rarely fatal, and strychnine in small doses produces only halucinations. What would be the outcome if a cobra, black mumba, or an Australian brown snake was used in the worship? And, instead of strychnine, how about lye, bleach, amonia, or cyanide.
Its almost impossible to get the type of snakes you mention. The point isn't to see who is the bravest bible says simply take up serpents it doesn't specify what type of venomous serpent. Wouldn't make sense for the serpents to be non-venomous but then again no sense in the serpent being wild and hard to contain in a public setting. Strychnine is easy to get then many other types of lethal poison, these people aren't look to burn their throats out with using poisons that burn besides occasionally you may get a participant who is maybe new to the doctrine and rush in and drink the poison without an anointing and you wouldn't want him to get throat ate up by a poison thats like battery acid. With posions that are subtle but lethal are idea because it gives some a moment to think about what they are doing . Nobody in the movement is wanting to die by snake are poison its not a suicide sect.
If I was the Christian god and I saw Joel Osteen in his ten million dollar home with his get-rich prosperity gospel and then I looked and saw these country folk trying to please god with all their hearts.... I think god would pick these country folk over Osteen in a heartbeat.
Be careful how you criticize someone. Mark 16:18 “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.” I used to think that scripture said "IF" they take up serpents, but it says they "SHALL" so it seems these people may be more of a sound mind than we are. Just because you or I think this is crazy it doesn't mean they aren't of a sound mind especially when the scripture says the SHALL take up serpent...
This preacher in the video is one of the most humble people you will ever meet. Watch the Soft White Underbelly interview good people just living their faith. Where's your faith?
@@WiseChristianChannel I see no where in the scriptures where Christ said go out and play with dangerous snakes! It sends the wrong message to people that's having a problem with the basics of Christ message which is love! Stop the theatrics, is all I'm saying!
You’re right. These are some of the most vile, hateful, disgusting, hypocritical clowns you’ll ever meet. Ask them this: where did they pick up snakes or drink poison in the New Testament? They believe in miracles? Have they raised the dead? Have they turned water to wine? Not hardly. I guess the suboxone and methadone filter out the poison.
Love these down home folks! I admit I don't have the calling of Mark 16:8, but God bless em! Most of them been hitting the corn bread & buttermilk pretty hard, so they need to dance off a few pounds. No one drifts off to sleep in that church!
In both Deuteronomy 6:16 and Matthew 4:7, it is recorded, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy G*d!" In Matthew, it is Jesus speaking. What these poor, sadly misguided people are doing is just what we are told not to do; putting G*d to a test.
When the Bible says to take up serpent's it literally means that Christians have the authority to put away demon Spirits it does not mean to mock God and pick up snakes. What is wrong with people? And then they wonder why they get bit and die.....
@@cultfiction3865 Most anyone would pick up a non venomous snake, the issue here is that some doctrines of men and not God twist the interpretation of bible scripture and so they think God is saying to pick up venomous snakes and so many do and many die from it then say they had lack of faith. To simply put it what they do is a false teaching. Don't purposely pick up deadly snakes or purposely drink anything deadly...
Matthew 4:7 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. That means don't put God's grace and mercy to the test because sooner or later, it will come back to make you regret it. If you don't rightly divide Scripture, you wrongly divide Scripture. When you mishandle or misinterpret the Bible, from that comes all manner of error, false doctrine, and heresy.
Let me say spiritually Jesus has protected me from being bit by poisonous snakes the enemy has tried infect me with disease but Jesus is greater than anything and he has kept me safe and clear from all disease I believe I know thats my father that's what his word says he is a great father

It's not mentioned in the bible anywhere where the apostles or the disciples held snakes and drank poison. It's not scriptural what you are doing and it's by the grace of God you all not died yet I know many of you have. Let us not be ignorant brethren the Bible says.
I think these are overall good people. I have noticed a mote gentle handling of the snakes. Many are recovering drug addicts and this seems to do something to keep them clean. And maybe this is less risky than the former drug use? At any it is facinating!
I sure hope not! Haven't enough people died already, either from Snakebite, or drinking poison, or Fire burning them.....or from sheer fright and terror?!? Enough is enough!
Mark 16:18 “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.” King James Version (KJV)
This is a false teaching twisting the word of God, it's a show or performance and the proof is people die in these services. Where is Jesus at in the services? Anyone actually give their life to the Lord or any healings take place? Anyone actually operating in the true gifts of the spirit? I pray for these people to open their eyes so nobody else dies....
@@douglasprice76 Good example about Paul shaking off that deadly viper when he accidentally got bit... The scripture they use to handle serpent's the correct interpretation is we as Believers have God given Authority over demonic spirits, it doesn't mean to mock God and handle venomous snakes.

They shall take up devils,satin.the saved God people drink of false gospel false spirits it shall not kill them.the saved shall work with there hands saying as worship the lord in spirit and truth and help the lost get saved you know the sick be heald.

This is awesome, especially the music is amazing. Wow!. I guess that the elderly lady is the same who was featured in a documentary in the 60ies or 70ies.
A Serpent Handling Church is on MY bucket list, too.
Why would you want to go to this ?
@@vince11harris Because we don´t have this in Europe. We don´t even have real Pentecostal churches here. The ones that exist or call themselves Pentecostal have questionsble doctrins and horrible music. Never felt the Holy Spirit in any church here.
@@bucaneromax1 and you won’t feel the Holy Spirit here either
@@vince11harris I´ll tell you as soon I have visited one...
Wouldn't be my type of faith and practice in church but the music sure rocks.
Wow... they made them a whole new jesus...
Hello Franchesca how are you doing today.
nah, they're following exactly what Jesus told his disciples in mark 16:18
I’m sorry but if I saw a snake in a church, I’d be running out the door!!
We saw Cottonmouths in the tabernacle. We killed em
Where is your faith. Lol
trust me the snake is more afraid of you and would gladly beat you out the door if it was allowed to do so. they just want to be left alone by themselves and not to be part of some kind of side show here
If they've got the door blocked, jump through a window! If they don't have a window, unless you can knock a hole through the side of the Church, well.....
I guess you're screwed....so: Don't go in there, in the first place!!!
@@Donte821In that case, forget the word "Faith", and try using the words "Common sense"!!!
Every snake handling church Ive seen has the best music
My man’s playing a mean guitar
Are the species of snakes limited to rattlesnake and copperheads? Is the only poison they drink stychnine? The bites of the snakes mentioned are rarely fatal, and strychnine in small doses produces only halucinations.
What would be the outcome if a cobra, black mumba, or an Australian brown snake was used in the worship? And, instead of strychnine, how about lye, bleach, amonia, or cyanide.
Those are the only local venomous snakes in that area (mostly southern Appalachia).
Don't give them any more ideas. They just might try it and that would be on you for suggesting it.
Try to that with Black mamba, taipan or brown snake etc.
@@stevemorris6790From what I understand, they can kill you even quicker than a Rattlesnake, a Copperhead, or a Cottonmouth, can!
Its almost impossible to get the type of snakes you mention. The point isn't to see who is the bravest bible says simply take up serpents it doesn't specify what type of venomous serpent. Wouldn't make sense for the serpents to be non-venomous but then again no sense in the serpent being wild and hard to contain in a public setting. Strychnine is easy to get then many other types of lethal poison, these people aren't look to burn their throats out with using poisons that burn besides occasionally you may get a participant who is maybe new to the doctrine and rush in and drink the poison without an anointing and you wouldn't want him to get throat ate up by a poison thats like battery acid. With posions that are subtle but lethal are idea because it gives some a moment to think about what they are doing . Nobody in the movement is wanting to die by snake are poison its not a suicide sect.
Stray Cats Brian Setzer playing that rockabilly in incognito make up! 😎
Thank you cuz I love the stray cats
If I was the Christian god and I saw Joel Osteen in his ten million dollar home with his get-rich prosperity gospel and then I looked and saw these country folk trying to please god with all their hearts.... I think god would pick these country folk over Osteen in a heartbeat.
Yea What don't people get ?
God bless the people of great faith, I will not participate in the worship, but I have great respect for these believers.
Why
Chris Wolford sort of looks like the guy who played Mr. Haney on Green Acres.
Anyone who has this on their bucket list must be in a hurry to empty their bucket. Remember what the bible say's about a sound mind????
Be careful how you criticize someone. Mark 16:18
“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.”
I used to think that scripture said "IF" they take up serpents, but it says they "SHALL" so it seems these people may be more of a sound mind than we are. Just because you or I think this is crazy it doesn't mean they aren't of a sound mind especially when the scripture says the SHALL take up serpent...
@@alpooser6412 they've literally died from this tho lol
@@alpooser6412 and i mean picking up deadly snakes because an old book said to doesn't exactly scream "sound mind"
@@alpooser6412 is there anywhere in scripture where they worshipped with deadly snakes?
@@alpooser6412 what other biblical miracles have they done?
I don't find this any more or less odd than any Sunday service across the glode.
MOST do not handle snakes, drink poison or twirl around in trance stupor.. Go to Church and see for yourself.
I just hope after they stop playing with fire and snakes they remember to treat others the way they want to be treated!
This preacher in the video is one of the most humble people you will ever meet. Watch the Soft White Underbelly interview good people just living their faith. Where's your faith?
@@WiseChristianChannel I see no where in the scriptures where Christ said go out and play with dangerous snakes! It sends the wrong message to people that's having a problem with the basics of Christ message which is love! Stop the theatrics, is all I'm saying!
You’re right. These are some of the most vile, hateful, disgusting, hypocritical clowns you’ll ever meet.
Ask them this: where did they pick up snakes or drink poison in the New Testament?
They believe in miracles? Have they raised the dead? Have they turned water to wine?
Not hardly. I guess the suboxone and methadone filter out the poison.
These are some of the sweetest most humble people you will ever meet 😊😇
@@kimcovington4395 I don't doubt that but they shouldn't be playing with dangerous snakes!
the music sounds like wordly rockabilly than praise!!!
damn that boy can play the guitar.
Love these down home folks! I admit I don't have the calling of Mark 16:8, but God bless em! Most of them been hitting the corn bread & buttermilk pretty hard, so they need to dance off a few pounds. No one drifts off to sleep in that church!
In both Deuteronomy 6:16 and Matthew 4:7, it is recorded, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy G*d!" In Matthew, it is Jesus speaking. What these poor, sadly misguided people are doing is just what we are told not to do; putting G*d to a test.
Why are you not spelling GOD? Only G*D!
These people are FOOLS.God gives you enough sense to not handle a snake.
This ain't to far from where I live but I would not pick up serpents I'm scared to death of them.
I wouldn't pick them up either, but I did enjoy the service. Can't wait to go back.
@@alpooser6412 cool
When the Bible says to take up serpent's it literally means that Christians have the authority to put away demon Spirits it does not mean to mock God and pick up snakes. What is wrong with people? And then they wonder why they get bit and die.....
I’m not scared of picking up serpents but I wouldn’t pick up a poison one just in case it did bite.
@@cultfiction3865 Most anyone would pick up a non venomous snake, the issue here is that some doctrines of men and not God twist the interpretation of bible scripture and so they think God is saying to pick up venomous snakes and so many do and many die from it then say they had lack of faith. To simply put it what they do is a false teaching. Don't purposely pick up deadly snakes or purposely drink anything deadly...
Music is awesome....what's the lady holding to her chin?
Fire.
I’ve seen other videos of churches like this and they were putting blow torch near their hand. They are tempting God to protect them from harm.
What is the contact info, I'm driving from up North to Florida in a couple of months and would love to attend a worship session.
Are you going to worship with them?
@@Joe_Friday I would yes. But I don't think I would pick up serpents.
@@hushai5154 But would you drink strychnine just like the song says?
@@Joe_Friday I've drunk worst. But that was in my younger and reckless days.
@@Joe_Friday why you wouldn't read or listen to song from the good book
Can we get some love for that band!
I have nothing but respect for these folks. People shouldn't make fun of them. They have every right to believe the way they do. God bless
Oh come on, these kooks are begging to be made fun of.
Matthew 4:7 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
That means don't put God's grace and mercy to the test because sooner or later, it will come back to make you regret it. If you don't rightly divide Scripture, you wrongly divide Scripture. When you mishandle or misinterpret the Bible, from that comes all manner of error, false doctrine, and heresy.
You shalt NOT tempt the LORD your GOD...
Let me say spiritually Jesus has protected me from being bit by poisonous snakes the enemy has tried infect me with disease but Jesus is greater than anything and he has kept me safe and clear from all disease I believe I know thats my father that's what his word says he is a great father
THE PROBLEM IS INCORRECT TRANSLATION IN WHOLE ENGLISH BIBLE!! In the Filipino language, the letter says that if you accidentally touch a snake or accidentally drink poison, you will not be harmed, just like what happened to Apostle Paul, he accidentally encountered a snake. you yourself will not touch a snake or drink poison because then you are testing God .. the problem is the whole english bible is incorrect translation!!!
That snake is traumatized
Rock on. Great tone!
Why do they not hold 6 ft timber rattlers, 15ft cobras, mambas.. In the middle east they do not have rattlers......
If you go looking for excuses you will find one, If you go testing the Faith God has given you freely, they are consequences Ephesians "Ch. 2 vs 8-9
Stupid is as stupid does.
And you cannot fix stupid!
The snake is dancing to the music
The Snake:"And a 1, and a 2, and a 3, and a 4.....
Yep! I got that rhythm down in ma soul now, Brothas and Sistas!
I'd still like ta bite this guy that's handlin' me, though! Oh, well... maybe next time"!!!
This music is awesome, reminds me of pulp fiction ❤❤🙏🙏
I luv it
If you are not ready to handle snakes then stay out of the front row. Some of these churches will turn a few loose on the floor. That is when I am out the back door. God bless ya'all.
Hello Renee how are you doing today.
Killer house band! Chicken pick’in guit’tar maaan!
………….🎶 Twang gang bang shib’bang zang! 🎶 ………….
“The house is a’rockin’ , don’t bother knockin’! Come on in!”
His heart is going to explode all over aisles one and two ... the chubby section
I assume Bach liturgical music is not used here. Anyone know about a famous old time preacher from Cleveland TN...Bro H RICHARD HALL? He was well received in Princeton WV.
what’s wild is everything he’s saying is Biblical
What if that snake got a loose and bite a child ?????
Is this the pastor from Soft White Underbelly?
Does anyone know whether the terrific noise volume has an effect upon the snakes?
From what I heard the noise doesn't affect them but the shaking does...
@@deborahlamartiniere6349 Interesting. Thanks!
Pastor Chris Wolford lets it all hang out. Wow!
The women spinning around seem like they’re in a trance. I wouldn’t do this.
Hello Julia how are you doing today.
They are in a trance
That bass player staring hard at that snake like if it gets loose he's out of there lol
Man that guitar picker rocks.
They worship serpents- gods, serpents handlers!🐍Unfortunately, they don't worship a living God! May God have mercy on their souls!
they abusem too
I don't like snakes but I love that guitar
How often does the church use serpents during service? Is it just a couple times a year, or is it more frequent?
It's not mentioned in the bible anywhere where the apostles or the disciples held snakes and drank poison. It's not scriptural what you are doing and it's by the grace of God you all not died yet I know many of you have. Let us not be ignorant brethren the Bible says.
I think these are overall good people. I have noticed a mote gentle handling of the snakes. Many are recovering drug addicts and this seems to do something to keep them clean. And maybe this is less risky than the former drug use? At any it is facinating!
He assigned the serpent 🐍 to that of the lowest of all creatures.
"On your belly shall you crawl and dirt shall you eat..."
And i thought i had some wild parties back in my day....😂
ha nope as soon as the danger noodles come out I'm makin a new door in the closest wall peace ✌️ I'm out yall
I'm right behind you. LOL!
snakes would beat you both if they were set free. They are more afraid of you then you are of them.
Love the music, the swinging blues.
PRAISE God... Does anyone have Chris Wolfords contact info?
Top of the stack rockabilly guitar!!!
I wonder if they have a kids program with garter snakes. Just in case 😬.
Sometimes a pastor needs a pastor. Pastor Gino Jennings would be happy to educate this church, please call him. Read and Obey Acts 2:38 for salvation…
I went to attend a service..but everyone was DEAD😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder if there are still services here in 2022
I sure hope not! Haven't enough people died already, either from Snakebite, or drinking poison, or Fire burning them.....or from sheer fright and terror?!?
Enough is enough!
Is she gonna throw that molotov cocktail?
She was getting rid of her chin whiskers with it.
she is the Molotov cocktail so best stay clear of her
The bible says nothing about handling snakes
Mark 16:18
“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.”
King James Version (KJV)
This is a false teaching twisting the word of God, it's a show or performance and the proof is people die in these services. Where is Jesus at in the services? Anyone actually give their life to the Lord or any healings take place? Anyone actually operating in the true gifts of the spirit? I pray for these people to open their eyes so nobody else dies....
Yeah but the apostle Paul showed what to do with a snake in Acts 28. He didn't play with the snake when the power of God protected him.
@@douglasprice76 Good example about Paul shaking off that deadly viper when he accidentally got bit... The scripture they use to handle serpent's the correct interpretation is we as Believers have God given Authority over demonic spirits, it doesn't mean to mock God and handle venomous snakes. Then they wonder why so many people get bit and die I pray for them.
They shall take up devils,satin.the saved God people drink of false gospel false spirits it shall not kill them.the saved shall work with there hands saying as worship the lord in spirit and truth and help the lost get saved you know the sick be heald.
Some of the best guitar around
Update: Population 241. Someone just died from a snakebite
Does anybody know why there burning there skin ?
Where does it say in the bible burn yourself?
My BIBLE SAYS DON'T TEMP MY GOD. 😢😢😢😢😢
