The Middlesboro, Kentucky preacher who starred in a reality show about snake-handling died (http://www.wate.com/story/24737348/kentucky-snake-handling-preacher-dead-from-snake-bite) Saturday night after being bitten by a snake.
The Middlesboro Police Department said that at around 8 p.m., they responded to a possible snake bite at the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus [sic] Name church, but that its pastor, the star of the National Geographic Channel’s Snake Salvation, Jamie Coots, had already left the scene by the time they arrived.
EMS responders then went to Coots’s home, where he was found suffering from what they believed was a snake bite. They attempted (http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/2014/02/16/pastor-dies-after-snake-he-was-handling-bit-him/5529907/) to administer treatment, but Coots refused on account of his belief that God would not allow him to die from a snake bite.
He died at his home at approximately 10 p.m.
Snake-handlers believe that their ability to hold, and occasionally dance with snakes comes from what are called “the signs of the gospels,” which are found in Mark 16: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 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.”
Coots starred (http://www.tennessean.com/article/20130807/NEWS06/308070122/Serpent-handling-pastors-star-Snake-Salvation-reality-show) in Snake Salvation alongside Andrew Hamblin of the Tabernacle Church of God in Tennessee.

Galatians 6 v7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

The apostle Paul he is not

Acts 28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Acts 28:4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
Acts 28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
Acts 28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

Paul? Never met him.

Sounds like another Jewish fairy tale to me.
