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 thats when Ndiwane ran toward the lions.
Out To Africa lists humans as the major predator to lions, so its 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 didnt 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.

(12,754 posts)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.

(15,036 posts)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.)

(3,660 posts)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.

(1,571 posts)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.
