Walking on water is not easy. Not too many people have the ability. Let’s see, there’s Jesus, and well, that’s about it. Unfortunately for one pastor on the West Coast of Africa, his attempt to become the second man to make this impossible feat a reality cost him his life.

Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation that he was capable of reenacting the very miracles of Jesus Christ. He decided to make it clear through way of demonstration on Gabon’s beach in the capital city of Libreville.

Referencing Matthew 14:22-33, Kabele said that he received a revelation which told him that with enough faith he could achieve what Jesus was able to.

According to an eyewitness, Kabele took his congregation out to the beach. He told them that he would cross the Kombo estuary by foot, which is normally a 20 minute boat ride.

Sadly by the second step into the water Kabele found himself completely submerged. He never returned.

This is not the first incident of this nature in Africa. At Ibadon zoo in south-west Nigeria, a self-proclaimed Prophet claimed to be able to do what the Daniel of the bible did by walking into a den full of lions.

Though he was warned numerous times by zoo keepers, according to NG Newspapers, the Prophet thought of them as nothing more than enemies of progress. The Prophet, with a crowd of people watching, put on a long red robe and proceeded to enter the cage full of lions.

Within seconds of opening the door, the lions ripped the Prophet from flesh to bone. The bible should come with a warning label, “Don’t try this at home.”

oh dear. i mean, faith is important but

BUT NOBODY WENT IN TO SAVE HIS STUPID (<my favorite word so far this year) ASS!!!

this is what happens when you mix faith with superstition and the right dosis of madness...

course not!!! you know what's in that water?????? mutant salt water versions of these!!!

Crocodiles

African crocodiles have very strong and powerful jaws that they use to bite their prey with extreme force. Its said that the force of a crocodile bite is in excess of 5,000 pounds per square inch which is considered to be the strongest bite of any animal! Compare that to an 800 per square inch bite by a hyena.

Of the crocodile species, the Nile crocodile and the Saltwater species is the most dangerous to humans. Every year, hundreds of attacks are reported through out Africa. Because most of the occur in remote regions, its hard to get accurate data of the actual number of people killed by crocodiles

Its said that most attacks on humans by large Nile Crocodiles and Saltwater Crocodiles are completed within a few seconds. Crocodiles kill their victims by dragging them under water and drowning them.

Hippo

Looking at hippos, one might think they are sloppy, slow and sluggish animals. Don’t be fooled by appearances! Hippos can outrun you and and are believed to be the second most dangerous animals in Africa. Because of human/animal land conflict the hippos invade farmlands at night to feed and destroy the crops and this is where the problem starts. I’ve read this story of hippos going on the rampage and attacking people and spreading terror in the Niger.

the Sea Of Galilee has sand bars that one may be able to use to walk well out to the fishing areas. That could be the bases for seeing someone walk on water. Not sure it was all that of a big deal.

In some places they have rocky jetties that go out several miles. I was once out fishing on a boat near one and I saw a guy I knew and I was Impressed!

I wouldn't have went in after him either....and I wasn't even thinking of animals. Buuut...if broths DISAPPEARED after just the second step...I ain't fucking around with some fucked up shoreline chz he wants to pretend he's Jesus...plus...hey...give him long enuff to pull off the miracle. Say I did jump in and save him...then he'd be mad cuz I messed up his chance...or resent me cuz i , in some way, ended up being the Jesus that allowed him 2(?) steps on water... And I don't even believe in Jesus.

Oh, i'm with you on not goin in to get him... that's his shit.

What the...the zoo personnel just WARNED him? ...I didn't know zoo keepers were powerless to stop people from entering the animal's habitats. ("Hey! You there climing over the fence! I'd be careful if I were you...! You might not wanna do that, sir!")
