SON OF US PASTOR KILLED BY A SNAKE DURING SERMON ALSO GETS BITTEN BY A SNAKE DURING SERMON

US pastor, Cody Coots, of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus’ Name church, reportedly required life-saving medical intervention after bitten by a deadly snake during sermon. The church motivated by the Bible verse, Mark 16:18: "They will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them."

Coots’ father, Jamie Coots, was bitten by a snake while preaching with a snake in hand and died after he asked that his fate be left up to God’s will. The Metro reports that Cody asked the same of his members, asked them if he is bitten by a snake just like his dad, they should take him to the mountaintop for the Lord to decide whether he lives or not.

However, a member of his congregation named Big Cody, defied him and sought medical attention. 

"Most people bit in the face are dead in five, ten minutes. I mean, his own daddy got bit in the hand and within seven minutes was dead."

Coots has reportedly taken 1 from his experience and has decided to review the practice of snake handling in his religious services.

Big Cody says he still remembers when Jamie Coots, the pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus’ Name church in Middlesboro, Kentucky, died at age 42 after being bitten.
