Christian ‘prophet’ loses his buttocks to a hungry lion while trying to prove God would save him

[MrScorpio]

Alec Ndiwane was filled with the Holy Spirit when he decided to “challenge” lions at the Kruger National Park.

The Zion Christian Church Prophet was at the park with his fellow church members when, according to GhanaWeb, he went into a trance and began speaking in tongues. The group approached the pride of lions while they munched happily on an antelope, but that’s when Ndiwane ran toward the lions.

Out To Africa lists humans as the major predator to lions, so it’s no surprise that the lions took on the challenge. Once he realized what was happening, Ndiwane made an about-face and immediately ran away. Unfortunately, lions are fast and fierce animals and when one of the lions snapped her paws on him, Ndiwane sustained injuries to his buttocks.

The ranger fired his gun into the air to scare the lions off and rush the prophet to the hospital where he underwent emergency surgery to ensure he didn’t lose a majority of his buttocks.

“I do not know what came over me,” Ndiwane confessed. “I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals. Is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth.” He was eventually stitched up and discharged after spending the night in hospital.

1. What an ass.

[valerief]

3. Ha!

[Hortensis]

12. As the lions must have been thinking.

This guy's later comments suggest he's technically competent to make his own decisions, contrary to my first thought. Another example of the danger of believing whatever feels good.

2. Dumb ass.

[agracie]

5. Sounds like he's half-assed now.

[Wilms]

4. He'll watch his ass next time.

You betcha.

6. Let's settle this once and for all

The bible says that if you have lots and lots of faith, you can handle snakes, drink poison, and apparently, play tag with lions.

But the bible also says that if you have a teeny weeny, itsy bitsy amount of faith, you can move mountains.

So, why not start with the mountains first. If you find out that you can actually move a mountain using just your faith, then maybe you can upgrade to handling snakes, or poison, or lions.

7. “I do not know what came over me,”

That really sucks when your ass is all torn up and you don't know what came on you.

8. "Is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth"

Apparently not.

9. I'll bet he has his ass

in a sling. smh

10. Christ himself told Satan man cannot test God, that worship is an article of faith not certainty...

so Ndiwane getting his ass handed to him by the lion is a just verdict against a fool who doesn't understand his own professed beliefs.

(And my opinion, I must add, is that of a disinterested agnostic. I wouldn't challenge a pride based solely on my respect for their power, not on some perceived sense of protection from an unseen force.)

11. Too bad it wasn't his genitals so he couldn't reproduce. nt

[mindwalker_i]

13. God threw him out on his ass

He definitly seems to my missed the big crack in his theory.

[Person 2713]

14. Why why would God give dominion over all creatures of the earth to you prophet?

You can not even keep your own ass

[whatthehey]

15. Now there's a deeply held belief worth respecting

Not his wisdom or even common sense; pretty low marks there. But his faith is obviously genuine. He's taking the direct biblical promise of the security of faith seriously and acting on it. Compared to him, most Christians have more sense but far less of the faith they claim to possess.

16. Faith didn't help the Christians in the Roman Colosseum

but don't let that stop you.

[Fairgo]

17. And God spoke to tbe Lions

behold! I will this day deliver a christian idiot unto thine plate, as thou are pleasant in my sight. And of this christian thou shall eat, but only of the buttock. When thou hast eaten of the buttock, return unto your pride and say, "I have eaten of the ass of christians and I say unto you, it is good...it tastes like chicken." So Sayth the Lord thy God, Mittens the Merciful.

22. Tithing the hard way.

[lindysalsagal]

23. He was just "turning the other cheek."

It's just too easy....
