Pastor using Snakes to prove faith in God gets bitten and die

THIS MADE MY WEEK, I AM SO GLAD THIS STUPID PASTOR GOT WHAT HE DESERVED

What a retard.

Churches are false my friend!

The only vengeful thing Jesus did was plaiting a scourge and driving the money-lenders from the temple. Some might say that was a righteous act, to be emulated today. He wasn't arbitary, either, healing and helping those who came to Him even when their faith wasn't perfect.

12And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Man proving faith in science tries to go to moon - dies.

where did he get the New Testament from? god? lol yeah im sure no one convinced a child they should read it. you're so full of shit

I don't know, do you think maybe a relative gave it to him?

There was a church bus that would come to our subdivision every Sunday and pick up anyone who wanted to go to the church. My brother was sneaking out of the house and taking this bus. It was easy enough for him to get away with since our parents slept in very late on the weekends.

The little paperback New Testament he was caught with was given to him by the church he was attending. He would not admit where he got it from, because he didn't want to get busted for going to church on top of the trouble he was already in.

My parents did not think it was strange that he was able to obtain one. You could buy a small New Testament at the book store for a couple of bucks and my brother had a paper route, which earned him a bit of spending money.

At the time he was caught and grounded, I was not a Christian, and I ridiculed him mercilessly. Years later, I became a Christian too, and only then did my brother begin confiding in me. That was when he told me how he got a hold of that New Testament.

I was raised in a false church to my parents dismay I became a real christian.

actually he wanted to use a son of the God without being aware of it...

Yes, I have to agree with you. I gave up on institutionalized religion two decades ago. I have some Christian friends whom I fellowship with, but I have not set foot in a church in nearly 20 years.

The more I studied the Bible and prayed, the more I became disenchanted with the churches.

They seem to keep getting worse and worse in my opinion. Many churches have gone from being in error about some things to becoming downright profane, appealing to people's greed and carnal nature. A number of churches have become circuses more concerned about offering entertainment than the truth.

Back in the days of my youth, when I started sneaking off to church, things were not anywhere near as bad as they are now. There were problems, of course. Even then there was not a single church that held the whole truth and most only offered milk instead of meat, but they were still places where one who loved the Lord could find a home.

Today, I would tell anyone searching for God to avoid the churches entirely and focus on Bible study and prayer, then God will lead you to true Christians so that you will have fellowship.

I'm with you. I believe that is why we are seeing more of these "organic" and "house" churches today. Those who are true to the gospel are becoming more and more disenchanted with the so-called Christian churches. I really, REALLY encourage you to pick up the book "The Irresistible Revolution" by Shane Claiborne. Right on with what you are saying.

But where there are two or more believers gathered, there Christ is also....so these huge institutions are of the world, not of God. Temples are obsolete with the anointing of His Spirit.

Thanks for recommending the book! I did a little research on it, and it looks very interesting.

This is funny. It proves that people follow a god that would not protect them from death or let them prove that there is one.

This man was a fucking idiot to put his life in the hands of a god who only theoretically exists, he deserved all he got in my opinion.

god you mean?!

Poor christians, just can't win for losing.

Sorry, it's inspired scripture. That "earliest most reliable text" lingo is another lie from the enemy.

No one has died on the way to the moon.

they also give the snakes to little kids to hold.

Some parents give their little kids to public school teachers.

Some give them to Private Christian schools where they are forced to keep silent after being molested.

Deuteronomy 6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THESE^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


And a BIG LOL!!!!!!!!!!

The pastor was a satanic church infiltrator.

Correct! The older versions of the Mark gospel do not contain Mark 16:9-20 which are believed to be added in the 2nd century. There is an ongoing debate as to whether they should be there.

But this then brings up several important problems.

If these verses shouldn't be in the Bible then which other verses shouldn't be there?

Why were they added and by whom?

Also what does this say about Bible inerrancy which most Christians claim and preach?

The collection of books known as the Bible is a very flawed document and to accept what it says as fact is minimalist faith/belief. It's in there so it must be true is an epic fail in logic and understanding.

so your brother snuck off to be with a cult? wow, so based on that if he had went with a circus, you would be swallowing swords. i guess your own foot is a good start though

Moron

He wasn't religious - or, it wasn't a religious thing - he was JUST STUPID.
