a 'sign' or pure 'coincidence'
 

a visting preacher was in a church in ohio USA and was asking for a 'sign' from god to communicate with him

he got more then he bargained for :D

when a lightning bolt hit the steeple hit the preacher when it traveled through the wires of the microphone

though he was uninjured !

it took church goers 20 mins after the incident to realise the chruch was on fire and evacuted

pure luck ? coincidence ? or a sign ?

Well, since the church was set on fire it seems god was saying: stop bothering me, I'm busy.
:D

:D

Way too tired for this, remind me in the morning

g'night

:sleep:

ADMINS - Can we have the smiley with the z's please, it's much better than that one!

Well Kronas what do you expect.

You were saying that you don't see signs and this must have been the case here too.

If you keep missing the subtle ones sooner or later you will see the hugs ones coz God makes sure of it.

i would have thought setting to fire to one little church wouldve been a fairly minor sign.. if "god" really wanted our attention he'd do something much bigger like blow up antarctica or something?

or appear as a giant head in the sky and start talking :D

/visions of a giant head talking in the sky... :erm:also how stupid do the churchies have to be to not notice their church was on fire?! :rolleyes:

i waited years and erm im not a beliver anymore so :shrug:

Setting fire to your own house? I smell an insurance scam...

Or maybe spend 30 years on earth healing people of all kinds of diseases and even raising one or two of them from the dead? And then pulling the same stunt off himself? :)

Didn't he get someone else to do that for him? (allegedly)

lazy God taking 30 years to do something he could do in one second ;)

im way too cynical...

:erm::erm:

being cynical can be a good thing :)

...or gracious god bringing himself down to our feeble level of understanding...

if he existed he would have improved our lives by making changes that are positive or has he just dropped us off and expecting us to 'go it alone' ;)

God works in mysterious ways.;) Ours is not to question why.

Why not? We learn, and (hopefully) improve ourselves by questioning what we are told..
