Do we actually have a scripture that shows Jesus Himself singling out an individual and calling them "Viper - hypocrite?" Or is Jesus speaking to the mindset and belief system of the self-righteousness?
Jesus never said any of this types of things to His own disciples - we as the body of Christ seem to love doing that for some ungodly reason and then we try to piously pretty it up by saying - " we are standing for the truth" - what they really mean is - "we are standing for truth as I and my group sees it and if you don't have the same thoughts on it - you are a cult and a heretic and that means I can publicly call you names and insult you.
This is a form of manipulating others to "lord it over their faith" and actually bite and devour each other in the body of Christ if they don't "agree with my and my groups belief on a subject." It's foul behavior no matter how much we try to dress it up.
We are free to believe what we want on some subjects ( not the essentials of Christ Himself and His work ) and to have "an opinion" just like everyone else.
One could believe that Daffy Duck and Donald Duck are the 2 witnesses in the book of Revelation but I would like to see scripture that shows this to be true....
( Although - there is scripture about "birds" in Revelation - so....maybe this "bird theory" might be true...lol )
I'll wait for someone to bring forth the verses that show Jesus calling individual people vipers, snakes.

You really ought to read your Bible more, instead of watching those no-name videos.
