Did God Sink the Titanic?


By Jim Allen

This month marks one-hundred years from the sinking of Titanic, a ship responsible for starting a century-long debate about who or what caused the ship to sink. “1The Titanic, once known as the ‘unsinkable ship,’ collided with an iceberg and sank south of Newfoundland on its maiden voyage. Days before its first voyage, a White Star Line employee boasted, ‘God himself could not sink the ship.’ The wreck’s final resting place remained a mystery until 1985 when oceanographer Bob Ballard found Titanic more than two miles down in utter darkness. Deep sea divers confirmed reports from survivors that the ship had indeed split apart; the bow and stern were found apart and facing in opposite directions.” Ironically, the destruction of Titanic that began a century earlier continues today. A newly discovered bacterium has been eating away at the iron hull since its fateful plunge on April 14, 1912. An engineer from Dalhousie University said in a release, “Aside from the parts made of brass, eventually there will be nothing left of Titanic but a rust stain on the ocean floor.’”
1 Paraphrased from CBC News – Bacteria Dissolving Titanic – 2010

As a Titanic enthusiast, I have mildly studied maritime disasters and have never seen such destruction. The steel super structure of the Titanic was literally torn in half by unimaginable forces and strewn over a wide area, a scene strongly suggesting God reached down from heaven, that fateful night, to undo the arrogance of prideful of willful men. Was the sinking divine retribution? While some think it was, others are not so sure. An inescapable catastrophe, like Titanic, is most often the result of fateful decisions (like links in a chain) that come together and tether people to a single event with little hope of escape. For Titanic, it would appear warnings about the ice fields and irresponsible actions by Captain Smith played key roles in sinking the ship of dreams.

An Inescapable Quandary

One online commenter said about the disaster, “The sinking of Titanic had nothing to do with divine retribution and everything to do with negligent operation of the vessel by the captain and crew. They were overconfident and unfamiliar with the ship. Titanic was a wonderful ship but hard to control, as witnessed by her sister ship Olympic’s collision with the HMS Hawke a few months earlier. Both ships were identical…very large, very powerful, and very new.”

While human arrogance appears to be the best reason for Titanic’s end, others point to the Bible and the employee who said ‘God himself could not sink the ship.’ The sentiment of the indiscreet comment was shared equally among Titanic’s owners, crew, and passengers. Could this widely held “unsinkable claim” by so many produce a direct challenge to God’s sovereignty? Did not Jesus say, “…Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God (Luke 4:12).” Does not all wrath belong to the Lord God (Romans 12:19)?

What Does the Bible Say?

While divine wrath is one possibility, it is my opinion that God did not sink Titanic. God is today (as he was then) operating in grace and truth through Jesus Christ (John 1:17). Yes, God knew about the employee’s comment and the sentiment shared by so many. God knew the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10), allowing arrogant and imprudent men to plot their own course to destruction (Proverbs 16:25). God knew Titanic would be ripped in half by its own weight and sink to the bottom. God knew Titanic would eventually dissolve into nothing more than a rusty stain on the ocean floor. Ironically, God is now allowing Titanic to continue her maiden voyage but this time powered by bacterium that will take her to a new port called Oblivion.

God’s grace is for today as it was then for those on Titanic. The purpose of God’s grace is to save souls and when necessary the body as well. While some believers survived the sinking, others did not. The lesson for all is no one is guaranteed life beyond any given moment. Yet, the images of Titanic’s transformation from a majestic ocean liner to a rusty stain on the ocean floor is profound and a solemn reminder of God’s sovereignty and eternalness, and of our human impermanence (Psalm 39: 5 and 11).

God Himself sank it to prove that He is God.


Why are people this silly

Constantly potraying God to be Evil

So you mean that just to prove his might and power, God had to kill thousands/hundreds of people.


Make una dey try reason una statement

God aint a wicked dude

This I know for sure.

The life of that innocent amount of people is just too fucking much to prove your might.

uzoexcel: wat exactly is ur point? hope u dont wanna say that the people who died were sinners grin grin grin ?

and what is the meaning of 'Pls stop tryn to use human reasoning to explain things that are beyond us?'? what exactly is wrong with us? u never heard of doing research
I'm talking of the point you made or tried to make when you mentioned "Nairaland and one sinner" As for human reasoning and things beyond us, all we know was that someone boasted and was shamed. I think this whole argument about who or what sank a ship 100yrs ago is a waste of profitable time.

Konjour:

The drawings were originally made by James Cameron, the Canadian film director and producer

who was in charge of the movie production. There was no Jack Dawson on the Titanic. That's a

fact that is undisputed. If you go to the Merseyside Maritime Museum at Albert Dock, here in

Liverpool, you'd find the original passenger manifest and you won't find any Jack Dawson there.

There was a Joseph Dawson and he's NOT the Jack portrayed in the movie.

So like I had said before, the Titanic disaster was real, and most of the facts were beautifully

presented in the movie with superb special effects, however to generate an even deeper

connection with the audience and to squeeze as much emotion out of all those who would watch

it, the fictional Jack and Rose story was chucked in for astounding measure and it definitely paid

off as we can all attest to. In the real disaster, there were just 37 seconds between the time of

sighting the iceberg to the time at which it grazed the hull of the ship, there were no Jack and

Rose kissing on the main deck to distract the men in the crow's nest.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, laziness played a part, negligence played a part,

a non uniform code of distress signals played a part, the construction of the ship and its aft

expansion joint with the height of its bulkheads played a part, but overall sheer rotten luck took

them all down to watery graves.

The movie would be no different to the documentary of a tragedy if the additional tit-bits were

not added to spice it up.
I believe his Name didn't show up on the manifest because he won the ticket 5 minutes to the departure,it was Rose that told his story.

Thanks my dear... Some persons fail to recognise the relevance of the Most High God! Trying to doo thing with worldly wisdom! Life is far above that.
I received like 10 mentions in less than an hour from people who are yet to understand the things of the spirit..but God in his infinite mercies will continue to multiply our wisdom in Him. Amen.
Have a blessed week!

ok lets leave insults now and face facts. wasn't noah the only righteous man as of then ? after god did that he said he won't destroy the world again, then came the new testament. do you really think if God kill people because of the statements they make many people will be alive ? list how many atheist that god killed ?. have you been to the religious section ? how many of those atheist have god killed ?
