Snake Handler Pastor Jamie Coots Of ‘Snake Salvation’ Dead From Snake

Bite

“A snake handler named Jamie Coots died from a snake bite while shooting a take on the reality TV show called Snake Salvation.”

“Snake handling is loosely based on a New Testament story about the apostle Paul when he had just survived a shipwreck while being taken to Rome as a prisoner. Paul was bitten by a venomous snake known by the locals as being extremely deadly. But when Paul didn’t drop dead after simply shaking off the snake everyone was amazed.

“But a snake handler like Coots uses the Bible passage Mark 16:15-18 as justification for their dangerous craft...”
