Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death! Make a personal reflection about this. Very interesting, read until the 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 Canecïo ( 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 the 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.
JESUS!!!
P.S: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone. So are you going to have courage to send this? I have done my part, Jesus said "If you are embarrassed about me, I will also be embarrassed about you before my father."
What benefit does it have, if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul? What can man give in exchange of his soul?" (Matthew 16:26). AMEN

It should make your field& other persons jobs who look for cause of death easy?
No more criminal acts with a gun bymentaly unstable persons, no more wrecks by drunk drivers& or mechical failures& or human errors that kill . No more deadly viruses or drug overdoses or chocking on vomit,iceburgs,drownings,fire etcas causes of death .
And the message is- if you meet a untimely death- god(and or Jesus?)killed you for your petty /minor offenses?
God did it& god works in mysterious way?
Now if anyone else did these things -went around killing multple persons by various means& methods. For the reasons given above- i would think they where verysadstic seriel killers.Who have no control over there emotions& or anger & or maybe no concept of right& wrong or knowthe value of a human life.
Givin the chance i would ask god these things- (even at the risk of being turned into a pile of ash sitting at a pc)- Because frankly Cal your story& orwhoever wrote it make very littlesense to me.
But i can see that pplgetthesestrange ideas thatare then added onhereto the bible to,- & its not from the bible.
But by there own means ("mans") & based on thereown personal opnions & ideas& speculations on what they think it/ the biblesays& what god does& then adding them as they see fit.
Just add on to it & make up storys that seem to fit ? But its ok its for a good cause right?
(and if you know the person who sent that email(from brazil?)Cal- you have my premission to share my opinions on hisbizarre add onstory& odd speculations)

Mr. Fish,
I feel your taling in parables brother....and hey..we are buds regardless.
If i'm reading you right your saying God is no different from a murderer..because He takes lives too.
My comment is to take a deep breath brother..Relax..and know that God is love. Yes He is also a righteous judge and yes bad things happen and I can't explain why. Just because we see differently remember as I promiced ,you are still in my prayers and I love you in the Lord.
If i'm reading you right your saying God is no different from a murderer..because He takes lives too.
Nope not what i am saying at all.I think you are reading me verywrong .I dont think god is that. I also dont think he kills ppl for petty minor reasons as is portrayed in the story above.
Quote:

I know bad things happen& know you cant explain why either- i understand that. Neither can i- but just to say that is how life works( for everyone)
But storys like those above try to explain the unexplainable & manipulate.
And as far as i can see are based on not one once of proof including from the bible- only personal speculations period - and "they" in my opinion make god look like a murdering thug who goes around killing innocent ppl for no other reason then he was offended by someone & cant control his emotions etc.
But i know not to base my opinion of god -on others baseless speculations.
Didnt mean to make these posts so long or imply anythinglikewhat you thought.
Just felt a need to state my opinion on this is all- so i am done here.
( i think theres a big differences between killling& murdering someone .Thats on a human level) But then again...I will take 2 deep breaths& leave it at that ok.
(thnks for the prayers C7& do send Mrs Struts address so i can send a card please)
