The Faith Of Usain Bolt In 5 Tweets by winner01(m): 1:19pm On Aug 28, 2015
He is the world's fastest man. He holds the world record for both the 100m and the 200m sprint and later today Usain Bolt will line up against former drug cheat, Justin Gatlin, for the second time in a week.
Bolt is also a professing Christian. His PRteam have confirmed Bolt is a Bible-believing, God-honouring, Jesus-worshipping Christian.
But other than crossing himself and offering silent prayers at the start of each race, he is relatively reserved about his faith.
However, the occasional tweet reveals a faith that is centred around praise and gratitude. Here are five moments that give us an insight into Bolt's Christian faith:

Bolt gives glory to God
When Bolt beat his team-mate Yohan Blake in the Olympic 200m final in London 2012, he made history by becoming the first man ever to defend the 200m Olympic title.
After the race, Bolt tweeted to gratitude to the Lord:

Re: The Faith Of Usain Bolt In 5 Tweets by winner01(m): 1:20pm On Aug 28, 2015
Bolt went to win a total of three gold medals at London2012 in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay.
Last weekend Bolt beat Justin Gatlin, a former doper, in the 100m World Championships. It was the first time Bolt had returned to the 'Bird's Nest' stadium in Beijing where he first became Olympic champion, breaking the 200m world record in 2008.
After beating Gatlin on Sunday, Bolt again tweeted his thanks:

Bolt on scripture:
When Bolt burst on to the athletics scene, he was loved for his natural talent, his relaxed attitude and his humour.
How ever it seems he is not immune to difficulty as he tweeted a verse from Psalm23 in the build up to the 2015 World Championships:

Bolt's gratitude:
After growing up in a small village in Jamaica with no running water or streetlights, Bolt is thankful for the small things and the big things. He encourages his followers to do the same:

Re: The Faith Of Usain Bolt In 5 Tweets by winner01(m): 1:26pm On Aug 28, 2015
The 200m final this afternoon (13:55BST) should be another spectucular show down between Bolt and Gatlin.
And don't forget to keep an eye out for Bolt's subtle signs of faith.

Re: The Faith Of Usain Bolt In 5 Tweets by Nobody: 1:55pm On Aug 28, 2015
Usain Bolt is not a Christian because I saw one of his Race with Tyson gay of the US he came first in the race and did exactly the way Muslims usually do by using his fore head to touch the ground. so, I don't see him as Christian at all. he tweeted those tweets because of his fans who are majorly Christians.

they think exactly like one of the 360+gods in makkah who said through his true prophet muhamed a PHD holder in al taqiya that he is a DECEIVER, and they found a religion called SUBMIT OR DIE,with a slogan of peace.

Now his almajiris are causing the world.

That's what we always tell our muslim brothers that prostration and bowing one's head in prayer is not peculiar to them and is also not absolute as far as worshiping God is concerned but they won't agree.

That's why whenever they see anybody bowing down with his head touching the ground they take him for a Muslim, and this is the more reason they argue till tomorrow that Jesus & CO who prayed with their faces on the ground were Muslims.


One thing they fail to understand is that majority of Christians do it more than them in their privacy when observing there quite time prayers than most Muslims ( though not religiously as it is in Islam ) .
But Christians will not just go about make noises bcs prostration/bowing down in prayer is not what Christian worship all about.

If only Christians will reason, this verse says that there is only one God, and Jesus is a man and is his messenger ...but it's none of my business.

Anybody can bow in prayer, I do it. I also kneel. Some times I stand.

its only muslims who think they invented bowing to pray.

What mohaRmMad /muslims invented was chanting Arabic incantations while Hitting their forehead on the ground in worship of a moon god.

Actually pagans in the time of Prophet ezekiel used to pray exactly the same way muslims pray today. This confirms that the islamic
prayer method has pagan origins.

No not what u MuslimS are doing.

Jesus prayed "our lords prayer" and called God father.

Muslims don't do that. You believe u are slaves of Islamic allah and to say you are his children is haram.

U pray first by washing away shaytan out of ur nostrils, ears etc then start chanting Arabic, the only language which Islamic allah hears. Then you touch ur ear lobes and do Some superstitious movement all inspired by paganism.

Jesus prayed in aramaic And Hebrew. He simply knelt and prayed to his father.
No Arabic, no pagan inspired activities, no up and down movements, no cleAning shaytan from nostrilS etc.


Jesus says he is the way truth and life, and no one can come to the father except through him.


Mohammed is a liar and u hAve been deceived.
Here is what Mohammed said in his later years according to ur quran;

Surah 46:9: “Say: I am not the first of the apostles, and I do not know what will be done with me or with you: I do not follow anything but that which is revealed to me, and I am nothing but a plain warner.” (Shakir)

Surah 7:188: Say: “I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah wills. If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil could have touched me: I am only a Warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have Faith (in Allah).” (S. V. Ahamed)

Surah 72:21: Say, “I possess no power to harm you, nor to guide you.” (Khalifa)

“It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to the Right Path.” (Hilali-Khan
