I SURE DIDN’T TILL NOW
Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
Make a personal reflection about this…..
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap.
Here are some men and women who mocked God:
John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: “Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him.” (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ), while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:’God, that’s for you.’
He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: ‘Not even God can sink it’
The result:I think you all know what happened to the Titanic
Marilyn Monroe (Actress):
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: ‘I don’t need your Jesus’.
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment.
Bon Scott (Singer):
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang: ‘Don’t stop me; I’m going down all the way, down the highway to hell’.
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
Campinas (In 2005):
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend… The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: ‘My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.’ She responded: ‘Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here…..It’s Already Full.’
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken.
Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer):
said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
Jesus
I have done my part, Jesus said, ‘If you are embarrassed about me, I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.’
He always works in mysterious ways … So let us just do the best we can in this world, for we will be rewarded for everything that we do.
Yes he does. This was actually a chain message, but I think it deserves to be shown to the entire world that’s why I posted it here.
Jesus Says, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’”
I TRUST IN JESUS
We should be very mindful of our utterances because they live in eternity;the Lord’s name must be respected and not to be use in vain. Blessed be the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
John Lennon
Claim: John Lennon said, “Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about it. I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him.” Lennon, after saying the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
The Truth:
In August 1966, just five months later, John Lennon apologised for his statement and said, “I’m sorry I opened my mouth. I’m not anti-God, anti-Christ, or anti-religion. I wasn’t knocking it or putting it down.. I’m not saying that we’re better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong.”
Lennon’s apology was accepted by the Vatican who officially forgave his remarks.
John Lennon was shot dead in 1980. If God killed John Lennon 14 years after his ‘Jesus’ quote, for which Lennon apologised, then “God” must be very vindictive.
John Lennon also said, “I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.”
Tancredo Neves, president of Brazil
Claim: Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made
President, then he died.
The Truth:
The quote by President Trancredo Neves is a myth. There is no evidence he ever said it. There were not 500,000 votes in that election. Only a maximum of 686 votes were cast, of which Neves got 480. In any event, Tancredo Neves died at the age of 75. That’s five years more than the Biblical promise of three score years and ten.
PS Robert Mugabe, the despotic President of Zimbabwe, said, “Only God can remove me from power.” Mugabe has been president of Zimbabwe since 1980 and he is still in power.
The wife of Mugabe’s main rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, died in a car accident on 10th March 2009. Susan Tsvangirai was a devout Christian and church goer. There are no reports of her ever mocking God. Mugabe described her death as, “the hand of God”.

MYTHEXPLODER,
Thank You—Thank You —Thank You for investigating “Untimely Deaths” . It made my search easier. I always search out the so-called truths of chain letters sent to me. Because I do not want to forward…anger, offence, prejudice, lies etc..etc…etc…. The Bible also says___
~Matt 5:45~
Be sons of your Father who is in heaven.
For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good,
and ?sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
So, “Tim” along with alot of us will be surprise at who is standing next to us in heaven.
Because Twenty-six times in Psa 136 it says, “For His mercy endureth forever.”
One of the most comprehensive statements regarding the nature of God in all the Bible–”For his mercy endureth forever”–26 times it is mentioned in the chapter.God’s
Thy ‘Mercy’ is new e-v-e-r-y morning- Lam 3:23.
MythExploder, I thank you as well. Like NotboundUp, I research these absurd “facts” sent to me in chain letters. I just now looked Cazuza, and he didn’t die at 32 of lung cancer – he died at 31 of AIDS complications. It’s bad enough people send these things around and believe them, what makes it worse is that it’s Christians doing it, who are making fools of themselves and giving ourselves a bad name.
Jesus was a fag liberal.
I’ll live forever.
Don’t listen to WatchHawk, you already make fools of yourselves being Christians, anything after that is icing on the cake.
tards
Like I’ve always said, its a good thing that god operates in mysterious ways, otherwise you christians would have no way to explain him or his activities.
I assume I’m alive because I’m not famous. I’ve been an atheist for 50 years and yet I’m still kicking. I’ve spoken out against all god’s over and over and yet I live. Go figure.
If you beleive in superstition, you are retarded.
Other people who died:
Everyone.
Very nice site!
Tancredo Neves: Myth – No proof that he ever said that.
Cazuza: Died of aids
Titanic: Myth – “The Titanic was described in the popular press as “practically unsinkable”. This was not unusual – for decades, ships had watertight compartments to limit flooding in case of an accident, and the press used this phrase as a matter of routine for many years. After the Titanic sank, the story of her loss was turned into a modern fable and the original description “practically unsinkable” became just “unsinkable” in order to sharpen the moral of the story. No educated person in 1912 believed that the Titanic was truly unsinkable, but it was difficult to imagine an accident severe enough to send her to the bottom.”
Marilyn Monroe: Myth – No proof that she ever said that – “One night in 1962 in a hotel in Seattle, Billy Graham was sound asleep. Suddenly he awoke with what he later described as “a burden to pray for Marilyn Monroe,” the movie actress. When the feeling continued the next day, one of Graham’s associates tried to reach the actress through one of her agents. The agent offered no hope for a meeting immediately. “Not now. Maybe two weeks from now,” he said. Two weeks later Marilyn Monroe’s suicide shocked the world.” They had never met.
Does one need to go on?
