Some Christians do not understand how God operates. If a person deliberately touches a poisonous snake, the snake will bite him or her and they will die because he/she has tested God.
Apostle Paul was bitten by a viper but as he did not handle the snake deliberately, God protected him . Daniel was thrown into the lion's den but the lions did not kill him.
God protected him because he was innocent. A certain church prophet in 2009 had his buttocks mauled by a lion in the Kruger National Park after running towards a pride of lions feeding on an impala.
He wanted to prove the "Lord's power over animals". As he ran, the lions immediately viewed him as prey and attacked him. When he realised the Lord was not about to help, he fled back to the car, but not before one of the lions clamped down on his buttocks.
He was saved from further injury or possible death by the game ranger who fired shots to scare the lions off. He said: "I do not know what came over me. I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show His power over animals. Is it we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth."
Immature Christians tend to do stupid things to test God and when God does not protect them they blame Him. To be a Christian does not mean giving up rational thinking. God would not waste the minds He gave us.
Even Jesus, the Son of God, did not test His Father while he was tested by the devil to jump off the temple as God will send His angels to save Him. Jesus Christ knew it was wrong to test God and told the devil where to get off.
Only ignorant and stupid Christians believe God will protect them when they do stupid things as instructed by their pastors. People must protect themselves from coronavirus.
These pastors who encourage their congregants not to wash their hands to limit the infection of coronavirus are hypocrites and a danger.
Yes, our God is a God of miracles, but Christians must refrain from doing stupid things in the hope that God will protect us from danger if we do not follow instructions issued by the government. Let us be rational thinking and not irresponsible.
