I saw this. I think the guy is crazy. Does it qualify as a miracle that the Lion didnā€™t kill him?
 
So animals should be converted as well? Never seen like this before.

Is this part of the New Evangelization the Pope has been talking about?
 
Someone should have reminded this guy how little success Christians have had with lions in the past 2000 years.
 
That was a good one. Not many recorded instances where chistians converted the lions in Neroā€™s circus or the Colliseum. Thatā€™s why we have so many early martyrā€™s.

There is one apocraphal story I beleive its in the Acts of Paul that borrow from Aesopā€™s fables.In short he took out a thorn in the paw of a lion in the wilderness. Later the lion gets a job at Neroā€™s circus eating christians. Paul turns up the lion remebers the good man who removed his thorn in his paw and he lets Paul live. Of course the lion actually talks during this. Wonder why this didnā€™t make the Bible?
Ok its highly susect but it is a cute story. In fact its a good thing it didnā€™t make the Bible or else you would have more idiots trying ot convert lions. God knows how many fundie christians have been killed by snakes due to reference in the Bible that we have dominion over snakes.

Yeh, God hasnā€™t had much success with the lions, somson even had to kill one.
 
"Protestant minister attempts to ā€œconvertā€ a Lion.

Who got it wrong? Was it the minister or the newspaper man?

I suspect the news man wanted a big story. So he says ,ā€œMinister attempts to convert a Lionā€.

It would not be a story is he had said," Insane man talks to a Lion".

It is a put down of Christians, I think.
 
perhaps the preacherā€™s name was francis. he wouldnā€™t be the first francis to preach to animalsā€¦
 
Look, Iā€™m all for Ecumenism and everything, but this goes too far!
 
An old joke says that a man, panicking because a bear was about to attack him, shut his eyes and prayed "Lord, make this bear a Christian. He opened his eyes and was amazed to see that the bear had stopped, knelt, folded his paws, and was praying.

Now would someone like to tell us what the man heard when he approached the bear?

My guess would be something along the lines of ā€œLord bless this food which I am about to eat.ā€ Good joke!
