Thread: God will not be Mocked

  1. #1

    Default God Cannot Be Mocked

    What do you guys think of this?,the power of God.I didn't know these facts,I sure don't till now:

    Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
    Make a personal reflection about this.. Very interesting, read untilthe end...
    It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

    Here are some men and women who mocked God:

    John Lennon
    Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: "Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.

    Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
    During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.


    Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
    During a show in Canecoo ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you." He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.

    The man who built the Titanic
    After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it" The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic.

    Marilyn Monroe
    She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.

    Bon Scott:
    The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: "Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell". On the 19th of February 1980 , Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.

    Campinas/SP IN 2005
    In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.. The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.."

    She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here...It's Already Full"
    Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none were broken.

    Christine Hewitt: a Jamaican Journalist and entertainer,said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written, in June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.

    Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.

    Given the number of people who take God's name "in vain" I would say that's a pretty poor return.

    Just one quick example (not so quick in my case), people are having sex all the time.

    if that's the 'power of god' in action - I don't think he could power up a small light bulb.

    sigh.... the spammers. when will they stop - some real truths about this:

    John Lennon
    were killed 14years after that (from 1966 to 1980) by a Christian (Mark David Chapman) who shot him in the chest infront of his recording studio.

    At 10:50 p.m. on 8 December 1980, Mark David Chapman shot Lennon in front of the Dakota.
    Chapman went to New York in October 1980 planning to kill Lennon, but left to obtain bullets from his unwitting friend Dana Reeves in Atlanta. He returned to New York in November but reports that, after going to the cinema and being inspired by the film Ordinary People, he returned to Hawaii, telling his wife he had been obsessed with killing Lennon but had snapped out of it. On December 6, he flew back to New York. He reports having re-enacted some fictional events from Holden Caulfield's stay in New York in Catcher in the Rye.

    On the morning of December 8, 1980, having left personal items in his hotel room for police to find, Chapman bought a copy of The Catcher in the Rye from a New York bookstore, in which he wrote "This is my statement", and signed "The Catcher in the Rye". He then spent most of the day near the entrance to The Dakota apartment building where Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono lived, talking to other fans and the doorman. Late in the morning, Chapman met the Lennons' housekeeper, who had just taken their five-year-old son Sean for a walk. Chapman conversed with the housekeeper and patted Sean on the head as they departed.

    Around 4:00 p.m., John and Yoko left The Dakota for a recording session at the Record Plant Studios. As they walked towards their limousine on the curb, Chapman shook hands with Lennon and held out a copy of Lennon's new album, Double Fantasy, for him to sign. An amateur photographer was present when Lennon signed Chapman's album and took a photo of the event. Chapman reported that "At that point my big part won and I wanted to go back to my hotel, but I couldn’t. I waited until he came back."

    Around 10:50 p.m., the Lennons' limousine returned to the Dakota. Lennon and Ono passed by Chapman and walked towards the archway entrance of the building's courtyard. From the street, Chapman turned and fired five hollow point bullets from a Charter Arms .38 revolver he had purchased in Hawaii, four of which hit Lennon's back and shoulder. One of the bullets pierced Lennon's aorta, causing severe blood loss. It has been suggested that, before firing, Chapman called out "Mr. Lennon!" and dropped into a "combat stance"[7] but this is not stated in court hearings or interviews.

    Marilyn Monroe
    Billy graham didn't visit her but his assistant called her.


    One night in 1962 in a hotel in Seattle, Billy Graham was sound asleep. Suddenly he awoke with what he later described as "a burden to pray for Marilyn Monroe," the movie actress. When the feeling continued the next day, one of Graham's associates tried to reach the actress through one of her agents. The agent offered no hope for a meeting immediately. "Not now. Maybe two weeks from now," he said. Two weeks later Marilyn Monroe's suicide shocked the world. Two weeks was too late.

    Bon Scott:
    didn't die of his 'throw-up but from alcohol poisoning...


    On February 19, 1980, Bon Scott passed out after a night of routine partying in London, and was left in a car owned by an acquaintance of his named Alistair Kinnear. The following morning, Kinnear rushed him to King's College Hospital in Camberwell, where Scott was pronounced dead on arrival. Although common folklore claims that pulmonary aspiration of vomit was the cause of Scott's death, the official cause was listed as "acute alcohol poisoning" and "death by misadventure".[11] Scott's family buried him in Fremantle, Western Australia, the area to which they had emigrated when he was a child.[12]

    Inconsistencies in the official accounts of Scott's death have been cited in conspiracy theories, which suggest that Scott died of a heroin overdose, or was killed by exhaust fumes redirected into the car, or that Kinnear did not exist.[11] Additionally, Scott was asthmatic and the temperature was below freezing on the morning of his death

    After? Fourteen years later.

    It is true that if God is as portrayed in the Bible he is petty and vindictive.

    Where does he live? Does he have an e-mail address? Does he still work as a preacher or has he moved onto other pursuits?

    I'll second that opinion

    Seriously...i could just as easily say that all of the people mentioned above went to loo that day and come to the conclusion that toilets kill people. (quite indiscriminately too...i believe you don't even have to mock them)

    If Gos kills you if you mock him, then one can assume the inverse must also be true.

    Maybe someone can post a list of people who have praised God over the last hundred years or so and are being kept alive by God? Or does God also kill those who praise him?

    Hmm so we have like what...8 people who would have died anyway, but attention is being drawn to them because they didn't believe in God? And John Lennon dying 14 years later is just a sad and desperate attempt to discredit those who don't believe.

    So how many of these celebrities died for not believing in God? The worlds richest man is atheist - did he die yet?

    And why specifically does it have to be Jesus? Billions of people don't believe in him - did they die yet?

    that statement is slightly flawed:
    Bill Gates has never admitted to being an atheist only that he doesnt know if God exists, he actually said in numerous inteviews that religion can have a positive impact.
    Plus why would anyone want to mock God, whether you believe in him or not, what would the point be?

    Because god has done more harm than good. It's pretty worthwhile mocking a ridiculous idea that billions of people are gullible enough to fall for isn't it? It's kinda like mocking people who still believe that the earth is flat.
