You said you didn't ask questions when you saw those Christian paraphernalia on his hospital bed so it's really difficult to draw conclusions based on what you saw alone. It's possible they were dropped off by some preachers who didn't know his religious beliefs or lack of it so to speak. It's also possible he met them there and didn't want to create tension asking for their removal.

Second, assuming they even belonged to him, that still doesn't prove he was healed by those materials or the power behind/within them as you seem to imply in no unclear terms. Afterall he was in the hospital for treatment, wasn't he? Despite the fact that lung cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, there are still a few people who survive it with or without treatment. A quick Google search will confirm that. Besides not all Christians (in short very few) get miraculous remission from deadly diseases and other medical conditions so why jump to conclusions?

We are saying the same thing Sir. You won't believe until then.

Okortor:
GOD GOD OR GOD.........JESUS IS LORD. EVEN THE MUSLIMS AND ATHEIST KNOWS THAT JESUS IS REAL BUT BLINDED BY RELIGION AND DECEIT NOT TO ACCEPT THE REALITY!!!!!!!

A simple challenge to you and the Christians around.
Can someone give us 2 good verses in the Holy Bible where it says clearly without any confusion that Jesus is God. I dare you because you don't have it in the Bible.
This is why Christianity is losing members everyday and Christians are daily questioning the authenticity and morals of the Bible.
Finally Christianity has turn to business in many countries not only in Nigeria and it is not today that, this started. You know how Protestant faction of Christianity came to existence, pls read the main reason.

Botragelad:

Do you have problem reading or what?
So you're implying that the atheist's momentary comfort with religious materials somehow invalidates the intellectual arguments against those beliefs?

Intellectual arguments are the lifeblood of critical thinking, and they can't be dismissed because someone finds comfort in a Bible or pamphlets during a crisis. That's an emotional response.

Like I said in my OP, correlation doesn't imply causation. You do know people find solace in things, without necessarily endorsing the beliefs, right?

You can't just cherry-pick emotional anecdotes and expect them to trump logical reasoning. If you want to engage in a meaningful discussion with me, no issues. Just something reasonable!

You are very funny. Finding comfort momentarily in the Bible when in despair is clearly an indication that he was willing to accept anything that could facilitate his recovery at that moment. Now from the story, what we were made to understand is that he eventually beat the sickness. You cannot sit there writing stuff about the shift in his belief system then and now, that is a clarity you can only attain if you are privy to know him in person like the original story teller does. In the absence of that privilege, we can base our conclusion in what we do know, which is quite simple: man didn't believe in God, man got sick, man out of desperation, personal encounter or whatever became comfortable with items symbolic to God's existence around him, then man got healed.
Maybe it was a spiritual healing, maybe it's efficient medical intervention we don't know, but either way, what I do know is that to the man, going forward, he now has a probability level of believing God's existence a minimum of 50%. That is something worth thinking about.

What A Christian Saw On Hospital Bed Of His Rich Atheist' Friend Dying Of Lung Cancer

Super story

obonujoker:


John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

I wonder what will happen to those who were born before Christ ..ontop this slave masters religion

Fiscus105:
All these books you mentioned,are they not religions pointing to EXISTENCE OF GOD?

You people just too delusional and myopic in reasoning. What OP said, many of u have digressed in other to win cheap point.

......the OP is emphasising that, a known aethist trying to renounce his bilif and accepted the existence of God wen death is imminent, but many of you are shifting and talking trash.

Xtian, islam, budih, hindu are they not the way to God existence in their own unique
ways?

I see your point

But at the same time, do you see my point that there is really no Superior God?

Many will doubt it but God heals, thank you Jesus

Don't christians die of lung cancer and other diseases? Religion helps the delusional and the pastors cashing out.

Oh, come now! So you think a momentary lapse into comfort with religious symbols is a clear indication of a willingness to accept the supernatural? Lol

I said in my previous response that people turn to familiar or comforting objects in times of distress, regardless of their beliefs. It's a psychological coping mechanism, not a sudden change of heart. Don't you understand?

Just because the lad found comfort in the Bible and then recovered, it doesn't mean the Bible was the cause of his recovery. You're assuming a causal link where none exists.

As for your assertion that the guy now has a 50% probability of believing in God's existence, well, that's a baseless claim. You can't assign probability levels to someone's beliefs without direct evidence. And even if he did have a change of heart, which is far from clear, it would be an anecdotal example, not empirical evidence for the existence of god. 😄

It's quite easy. You just need to think critically!

jesusjnr2020:
I've always said "the fear of death is the beginning of wisdom for most atheists".

This is yet another proof of that.

What i find really hard to understand though is why they have to wait til that critical point of their lives before realizing themselves, because not many get the chance to make amends.

This is one of the few lucky atheists that did.

Thank God he realized himself and repented before it was too late.

I hope other atheists get to learn something from his story.

God bless.

So God threatens us into loving him. I do not think so

Stories that touch

AntiChristian:
This one don cast!

It's true Christians go to hospitals to use emotions make people convert to Christianity and particularly their church denomination!

That's why you'll see Bible anywhere even in hotel drawers carrying dust!

Is that why your religion of peace started doing evangelism, vigil and putting Quran in hospital n hotels.....A case of if you can't beat them.....

Yeye dey smell

Una god dey allow children die but heal old men. Politics healing.

Btw, how does this story concerns Christianity?

Or the conspiracy is to link all man's effort to your god?

blingxx:


I wonder what will happen to those who were born before Christ ..ontop this slave masters religion

Slave masters or not. There is no salvation anywhere to God except what Jesus Christ did on the cross.

As for those that died before Jesus came, they had the laws of God, for instance, Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness - Romans 4:3-8.

Hebrews 11, tell us many were saved by Faith, and Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of those that had faith, both in the BC and now in AD

Death is enough as an admonition for mortals. So seek for the truth, and never associate any partner to Allah ; Avoid the worship of any of Allah prophet/any saint.

erad:
You always know where to dig out all these stories to support your biase.

If it was the other way round and a believer lost the battle even after seeking the face of the Lord constantly, you'll probably say he lacked faith. You won't say God failed him, you'll blame him. Double standards and hypocrisy.

Anything to help you sleep at night.

*liked

My issue with these type of stories is that how come believers succumb to this same cancer yet God chose to have mercy on an atheist. God did not have mercy on the Christians that dedicated their lives praising and worshipping him yet still went on to die of devastating diseases but gave the mercy to an atheist that suddenly remembered him when he was dying of cancer? I fail to understand this kind of thought process.

Such a beautiful piece of crap. We all know how much Christians love to fantasize about Atheists being in life threatening situations where they are so desperate for help that they decide to patronise their sky daddy. Even though this mostly never happens, Christians would always create this sort of scenario in their head to make themselves feel better, while ignoring the fact that there are more bed ridden Christians than atheists.
Most Christians aren't even aware of who an atheist is anyway. Once you say you don't like pastors or church, they'll call you an atheist.

Anything based on Christian topic dey give me joy....everybody fit bring contribution as the thread dey always dey open

geoworldedu:
Fantasy
This topic is misleading. It should have been WHAT A CHRISTIAN IMAGINED THAT HE WOULD SEE ON THE SICK BED OF A DYING ATHEIST

Famous atheists have died countlessly in different parts of the world, but no stories of their deathbed moments, but now we have to believe the story of a dying random atheist written by a living random christian and propagated by the younger brother of Jesus.
Just dey play

This is just another made up story to give Christians a hard on.

Had same experience but this time it was me. I never believe Bible or God, man was more interested in that Charles Darwin theory about life. Got sick in January of 2014, by June man was a new member of Assemblies of God carrying my big good news Bible around. Thank God he saved me. But it was a very tough story

mrkings84:
To al them atheist in the house, as you no believe there's God, when that terrible health challenge that medicine can't handle will hit you, who will you turn to??

Definitely not your useIess sky daddy called Yahweh who can't help his own worshipers.

Nigerians are naturally afraid of death. We want to live forever.
Death is part of the cycle of life.

Oga, things like this cannot be explained by words, you need to experience it to understand, you will understand better in your point of death which will happen soon...you will come back here to share your experience.

Can the blind see? Obviously NO. So may God help you before it's too late or at the point of your death then u realize but might be too late for you.......

For more than 30 years I never went to church until one Sunday I picked up my Bible and went to Redeem Church and that was the beginning of my Christendom.

Today, I am a full member of the Living Faith Church aka Winners.

God is Winning!

One moral lesson I always want to preach to people is that they MUST NOT kill.
Not for any reason!

Give generously to the poor and the needy.

Don't take what's not yours forcefully.

I don't take Athiests serious.

They are confused bitter angry souls who constantly fights their thoughts about the existence of GOD.
