Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 12.0pt"> A little incident, which occurred in Kerala, several years ago. At, a meeting, a man, apparently a communist, got up and said: “All this talk about God is nonsense. There is no God! God is only a superstition created by some interest people to dupe the masses.” Then he added: “If God really exists, let Him strike me dead within three minutes!” So saying, he held out a watch and kept on looking at it. The people heard the challenge being thrown in the face of God. The atmosphere of the meeting changed: It was changed with suspense. One minute passed: nothing happened! Two minutes passed: nothing happened! Two minutes and thirty seconds…. The people were tense…. Two minutes, forty five seconds…. Two minutes fifty five seconds…. Two minutes, fifty-nine seconds, three minutes were over; the man continued to live! He triumphantly declared, "Did I not tell you, God is dead? A dead myth of a dead past! If as you say, an omnipotent God really existed, He would have struck me dead by now. He would have accepted my challenge. But God does not exist. All talk about God is mere humbug!” 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">At the meeting was present a simple man – a lover of God and a servant of suffering humanity, one who, for the love of God had become a homeless wanderer, moving from place to place, carrying to waiting multitudes, the saving gospel of the love of God. He saw the statement of the communist had profoundly affected the audience and thrown many people into confusion. He got up and said to them: “Do not for a moment believe that God does not exist. God exists! And God is Love! Even if you deny Him, His love continues to take care of you. He is our heavenly Father, more real and more loving than our earthly father. Which father amongst you would be prepared to strike his son dead, only to prove his existence? If your son throw a challenge at you saying: “Father, if you really exist, slay me within three minutes, you would merely laugh at his foolishness.” justify"> Hearing this, a wave of joy spread over the meeting. The hearts of the listeners were filled with a new faith, and they declared with one voice: “God exists! All glory to Him!” Personals Single? There's someone we'd like you to meet.
