Fasting To Death by huxley(m): 9:51am On Apr 28, 2009 |
A leading evangelical pastor in Cameroon, founder on many pentacostal churches in Cameroon and US, has died several days into a fasting marathon. It is said that the pastor embarked on a 40+ days fasting ordeal to not only emulate his God but also to better his God's record. Unfortunately, his god was not happy with such a rude challenge from an upstart contender and snuffed the life out of him.

How can a death be funny, Huxley? Would it have been as funny if an atheist had died doing the same thing? |
Re: Fasting To Death by huxley(m): 10:38am On Apr 28, 2009 |
Bastage: You are probably right. I erred. "Funny" is not the right word in this circumstance. I think "ironic" would have been a better word. I shall make said correction. |
Re: Fasting To Death by huxley(m): 11:35am On Apr 28, 2009 |
Bastage: Actually, come to think of it, I would have found it extremely amusing, ironical and hypocritical if a philosophical atheist had instead of seeking natural treatment for a medical condition had instead sought supernatural interventions and had ended up dead. Anyone who does not live by their philosophy deserved to be ridiculed and if an atheist were to resort to something as irrational as this, I will have no sympathy for him/her. |

[size=28pt]HUXLEY[/size] so what else do you want from us here, to criticise the man or applaud him yes his act was funny, but i tell you something, only funny people in the sight of man is actually wise in the sight of God and by the way did you hear God come down to tell you that HE snuffed the man's life because he tried emulating God? you assume too much, get a story better b4 you come down hear to critise my faith you're obsessed about and guess what? i imagine myself going on evangelism with you ![]() |

Re: Fasting To Death by noetic(m): 1:59pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
huxley:any links to butress this claim. atheism is no excuse for dishonesty . |
Re: Fasting To Death by huxley(m): 2:05pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
noetic: Well, I have not got a link. But would you believe it if you saw a link? My info comes from source close to the family of the pastor, ie, a close friend of mine is married into the family. |

Fasting can lead to heaven Fast!! |
Re: Fasting To Death by Image123(m): 4:20pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
Huxley,many things could have resulted to his death.people die everyday,has that ever occured to you?people have fasted for longer periods than he did i.e -<40days.There's no reason 2make issues out of it because he died while fasting.people die walking,eating,working,preparing 4 exams etc and sometimes,it may not be as a result of what they were presently doing. Anyway,it is appointed to men once to die,you just live a life that is worth it and if 'perhaps' there's an afterlife, you be prepared. |

@Poster Give link! You've got so many nasty stories, are you a Christian? |
Re: Fasting To Death by huxley(m): 4:43pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
Image123: I hope it comes as no surprise to you that I know that people die. What is ironic here is the time and manner of his death. Fasting is supposed to be a time and period of particular closeness to god, if you believe what the christians say. I have heard christians claim all sorts of "miracle" having happen to them as a results of having fasted. If he had fasted and recovered from an illness, say stomach cancer, he and his kin would have broadcast it the world over as a miracle from god. Well, this time god chose to snuff him right in the middle of his fast. Is this a miracle too? |
Re: Fasting To Death by noetic(m): 5:47pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
huxley: the link would at least have established that this incident happened, but as it seems now, its obvious you have just been caught in one of ur numerous LIES u keep brandishing around against xtianity. atheism is not an excuse for lack of morality. LYING is symbolic to moral bankruptcy. |
Re: Fasting To Death by MrCrackles(m): 5:49pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
Poster His time was simply up He was destined to die whilst fasting! |
Re: Fasting To Death by huxley(m): 5:52pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
noetic: What proves that it is a lie? |
Re: Fasting To Death by mazaje(m): 5:55pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
noetic: do you want me to go ahead and show you where the bible god told people to tell lies in the bible? |
Re: Fasting To Death by huxley(m): 5:59pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
In fact, I have just found a link here , but I initially got the news from my close friend whose brother is married to the Pastors daughter. |
Re: Fasting To Death by noetic(m): 6:03pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
huxley:so u weren't lying afterall, but does that mean u aren't a liar? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Fasting To Death by mazaje(m): 6:17pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
noetic: have you no shame? you accused him of lying now that he has shown you that the story is true you are now trying to duck with this lame comment. . .do you want me to show you where the biblegod urged people to tell lies in the bible. . . . |
Re: Fasting To Death by tpiah: 9:05pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
Huxley I hope you noticed this response in the link you provided: It is sad what this paper is trying to put across.I know Dr Fomum and his ministry. note the bolded! It doesnt mean it wasnt the fast that killed him, but why not check the autopsy results before assuming so. |
Re: Fasting To Death by Image123(m): 10:58pm On Apr 28, 2009 |
Huxley,like I initially said,many things could have resulted in his death.people die everyday,christians and unbelievers.There's something more painful than death.Death for a child of God is a passage to eternal bliss.The sting of death is sin,only sinners are hopeless at death.Whether one dies after drinking coke/pepsi or after fasting isn't the big issue,the big issue is where will you go when you die?would you have been more at peace if he died doing something less spiritual,like stealing |
Re: Fasting To Death by tpiah: 2:56am On Apr 29, 2009 |
I've actually heard stories of people dying after breaking a prolonged fast, but I dont know if the rumors are true or not. |
Re: Fasting To Death by Horus(m): 9:35am On Apr 29, 2009 |
noetic: Well if you accused him of lying then you should produce the Facts and a proof of the alleged lie. Where are your facts ![]() |
Re: Fasting To Death by noetic(m): 2:01pm On Apr 29, 2009 |
Horus:cant u get simple english? he made a claim without proof. . . .that literarily mean he was lying, considering his antecedents. when he provided evidence, he proved he wasnt lying. . . simple. |
Re: Fasting To Death by ladybam(f): 2:43pm On Apr 29, 2009 |
y should he try and battle wid God. hmmmmm. . . . was'nt a good idea |
Re: Fasting To Death by Horus(m): 2:49pm On Apr 29, 2009 |
noetic:So why did you accused him of lying the first time because you didnt provided evidence that he was lying in the first time? Why are you accusing without proofs of a lie FIRST?. |
Re: Fasting To Death by huxley(m): 1:50pm On Apr 30, 2009 |
Another write-up of the saga follows: Zacharias Tanee Fomum:Source: http://www.theheraldcameroon.com/ Taken at face value, is it true that the cause of the problems of Cameroon are Buddhism, communism and Islam? |
Re: Fasting To Death by spoilt(f): 3:29am On Apr 24, 2010 |
Its funny. Why would a mere mortal embark on a forty day dry fast? |
