NEVER MOCK GOD!

Make a personal reflection about this. Very interesting, read until the
end...

It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): "Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Here are some men and women who mocked God:

JOHN LENNON:
Some years before, 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 being made
President, then he died.

CAZUZA (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During a show in Caneco ( Rio de Janeiro ), whilst 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 AIDS in a horrible manner.

THE MAN WHO BUILT TITANIC:
After the construction of 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:
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:
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/SP 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 BOOT, CAUSE INSIDE HERE IT'S ALREADY
FULL"
Hours later, news came by 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 boot was intact. The police
said there was no way the boot could have remained intact. To their
surprise, inside the boot was a crate of eggs, none were broken.....
Boot means trunk .

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.

JESUS!!!

P.S: If it was a joke, you could have sent it to everyone. So are you
going to have courage to send this?. I have done my part, Jesus said
"If you are embarrassed about me, I will also be embarrassed about you
before my father."

What benefit does it have, if a man gains the whole world but loses his
soul? What can man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26).

Well I'm not trying to debate only discuss here.Lennon was famous and
was killed by an obsessed fan,who did not claim to be doing god's work.
Marilyn Monroe,was into Drugs heavily, as was Bonn Scott who died after
a hard night of binge drinking.
Tancredo Neves was a politician during a violent Era in Brazil,and was
likely poisoned by an opponent.
Cazuza was bi-sexual, and likely picked up Aids more due to his
lifestyle.
The Titanic,never underestimate the strength of an iceburg.
The Girl in Spain,knew her friends were wasted and never should have
gotten into that car.
Just a few pointers as I said.

Lest we all forget - if we are born, we will die and there are as many
ways to die as there are to live, but WE WILL DIE! People die at the
hands of drunk drivers, in times of war, by the had of others, through
an act of nature, by the sick hand of another or by their own
destructive behavior. The only, ONLY part a "God-fearing" person can
credit to God, is that we all die.....
