A news organization, WORLDNETDAILY has
reported the following unfortunate incident:
“An evangelist who tried replicating Jesus’
miracle of walking on water has
reportedly drowned off the western coast
of Africa. Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his
congregation he could repeat the biblical
miracle, and he attempted it from a beach
in Gabon’s capital of Libreville. ‘He told
churchgoers he’d had a revelation that if
he had enough faith, he could walk on
water like Jesus,’ an eyewitness told the
Glasgow Daily Record.
‘He took his congregation to the beach
saying he would walk across the Komo
estuary, which takes 20 minutes by boat.
He walked into the water, which soon
passed over his head and he never came
back.’
A researcher at Florida State University
believes he has a natural explanation for
the account of Jesus’ miraculous walk on
the surface of water — ice. Professor of
Oceanography Doron Nof and the co-
authors of his study theorize that a rare
combination of optimal water and
atmospheric conditions resulted in a
unique, localized freezing phenomenon
called ‘springs ice.’"
This horrible incident, together with a
“professor’s” response, progresses from the
tragically untaught to the supremely obtuse.
“‘Pastor’ Kabele” obviously was a very sincere
man; but sincerity does not nullify ignorance. I
do not use this term in a pejorative way. All of
us are ignorant in some matters. It’s just that
sometimes one form of ignorance can have a
greater consequence than others. In the first
place it should be noted that “revelations”
from God do not occur today. When the Old
Testament era came to an end in Malachi’s day,
400 years passed with no “revelations” from
God. This era frequently is described as “the
four silent centuries.”
With the coming of a new age, from the
commencement of Jesus’ ministry to the death
of the apostle John, there was another
relatively brief period when supernatural
revelation and signs were manifest. When the
New Testament was completed, and the
apostles and other people possessing
miraculous abilities died, no further signs
were provided.
Had poor Mr. Kabele known his Bible better,
he would not have attempted his “miracle”
feat; had he possessed a moderate amount of
common sense, he quickly would have
discovered he could not “walk on water,”
before the sea finally took him.
