Strictly speaking, the bible says of Jesus’s followers “they will pick up serpents.” It doesn’t say “they will pick up serpents and not get bitten.”
Of course, it does also say they can drink deadly poison without being harmed.
As it happens, I am related to and share my last name with this guy.
Seems like this calls for either preventative antidotes and something to prove or a serious selective breeding program!
