A snake-handling Pentecostal who witnessed his father die in a similar fashion, died Sunday after he
was bitten by a poisonous snake he had owned for years. "Mack" Wolford, 44, was reportedly one of
the few pastors who openly shared his beliefs about Christians being commanded by Jesus in the Bible
to take up serpents without fear of death.
To sane people, that means, "This book is, at best, some parable that's not to be talken seriously."
To the religiously insane, it's a How-To book on getting to Heaven.
Wolford, pastor of House of the Lord Jesus in Matoaka, W. Va., died at a relative's home May 27 after
he sat down next to a yellow timber rattlesnake and was bitten in the thigh during an afternoon service.
The service soon came to a halt and Wolford was taken to his relative's home to recover from the
poisonous bite -- a common occurrence for the charismatic Christian who grew up with a father who
also preached snake-handling during his ministry. Wolford died about 10 p.m.
The pastor, noted for his enthusiasm for sharing his belief that Jesus calls on his followers in passages
like Mark 16:17-18 to handle snakes, was officially declared dead Monday at Bluefield Medical Center.
It appears that no one aware of Wolford's condition had called emergency services for helpt.
Well you can't call for help because that's calling God's book a liar.
Can't have that.
