Famous People Who Mocked God And What Happened To Them by ceetowl: 12:49am On Jan 30, 2020 |
SEE WHO MOCKED GOD: John Lennon (Singer): Some years ago, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: 'Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that.. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him' (1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times. Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before his inauguration as President and he died. Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet): During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: 'God, that's for you.' He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner. The man who built the Titanic After the construction of the Cruise Ship, Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: 'Not even God can sink it' The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic Marilyn Monroe (Actress) She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: 'I don't need your Jesus'. A week later, she was found dead in her apartment Bon Scott (Singer) The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: 'Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'. On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit. Campinas (IN 2005) In Campinas , Brazil, a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend..... The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: 'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.' She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, 'Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full ' Hours later, news came that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died. The car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written. In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle. Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.... "J-E-S-U-S" Jesus said: 'If you are embarrassed about me, I will also be embarrassed about you before my father. I'M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T..D. Jakes '8 Second Prayer.' Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!! 'Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. amen; 1 Like

Ceetowl, I get what you were overall trying to portray about the power, authority and sovereignity of the Lord God Almighty (Philippians 2:9-11 KJV). However, we need to be careful about how we portray His character. He has always been mocked and will be mocked until the Second Coming. It is then that He will be vindicated. However, the issue with the OP is the fact that the famous people died allegedly from mocking God. I disagree. The Bible tells us: Romans 6:23 (KJV) 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. So living in a sin infested and corrupted world, means that ALL will face death in one way or another. So those famous people that you listed were no different than the "average Joe Schmoe" (except for fame and wealth). They breathed, walked, and talked just like you and I. They also died....like you and I will one day. Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Galatians 6:7 (KJV) 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. In this scripture, we see the word "mocked". Yet looking at the context of the sentence, what can be gleaned is the concept that however a person chooses to ultimately live his/her life will have a consequence...be it negative or positive...in the present or future. Somewhat akin to a "cause/effect" type of situation. Ex:The man who you said smoked and mocked God on stage at his concert, well typically more often statistically than not, if a person has been a smoker for a period of time, then lung cancer will eventually develop. All of the people you mentioned, who scoffed at or mocked God, died by means of murder, car accident, suicide, illness, etc. Guess what? Many people who loved and served the Lord all of their lives, (who did NOT mock God) died by means of murder, car accident, illness, etc. See the reason for my initial opening about SIN... So it's an unfair (althought well-meaning on your part) assessment/theory to say or imply that God strikes down those who "mock" Him. That is not God's nature. 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. It's more like God loves the people enough to try and send them warning to choose to surrender to Him before it's too late...because HE KNOWS that death is near...which we, human beings more often than not, do NOT know. Please read for an example the following: Luke 12:12-20 (KJV) The late evangelist, Billy Graham, tried to introduce Jesus to the late famous Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe, but sadly, she chose to reject God. She made her choice. I think the most important message here is to choose God because one may never know when it is one's last day on earth. Joshua 24:15 (KJV) 15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. |
