Can we draw any theological insight from this event?
A pastor was performing a baptism in a lake in Ethiopia.
A large crocodile swims up, grabs the pastor, swims away, kills the pastor. Corpse was later recovered.
What are the theological messages from this?
- the pastor was a sinner and god wanted to punish him?
- you should check whether lakes are infested with crocs before you do religious ceremonies?
- it doesn’t matter whether the pastor died or not because the crocodile is another of god’s creatures?
- if the pastor being dragged away was god’s will, then when the people tried to save the pastor, were they defying the will of the almighty?
