This was reported in a newspaper at least a decade ago.

Two men were in a boat, out on the lake.

One of the men, an attorney, stood, lifted his arms and said " if there's a God, let him strike me dead". That is exactly what happened. He was struck dead, by lightning.

The other man, who if I remember correctly, is also a lawyer, gave this account.

True, not true, or embellished, I wouldn't want to mock God.

Your total confidence and complete trust in the media is quite remarkable. Seldom have I seen such total trust.

Some of us are closely familiar with the lightening bolt that came down in a Apostolic church in Houston, knocking preachers down, bursting the pulpit right in two. After investigation, it was reported by professionals that examined it that it that there was no NATURAL explanation for this to have happened.

Light...

There was not a peep in the media about it as far as I know.

Seriously? I mean you really think God killed thousands of people, because of the boasting of one man? Yikes!

Reminds me of the scoffer that got cancer in his tongue and throat and died from it after scoffing about the testimony of a sister that was healed from cancer of the tongue and throat saying, "if that be true, then let God strike me with it."

He prayed for his healing but there was none. He died in that condition.

Good point. If you believe the stories, anyway.

Just something I am at peace with....

ANY action the Almighty God takes, regardless how it is viewed through man's eyes, is righteous!
