Pastor trying to prove how Jesus walked on water gets eaten by crocodile

A pastor has been killed after he was eaten by three crocodiles while trying to walk on water.

Jonathan Mthethwa was trying to show his congregation how Jesus walked on water by crossing what is locally known as Crocodile River on foot.

However, he did not make it across the river in Zimbabwe.



The pastor, from the Satin of the Last Days church, managed to get around 90ft into the river before trying to climb onto the surface of the river.

All that was left of him was his underwear and his sandals.

Eyewitness Deacon Nkosi told the Daily Post: ‘The pastor taught us about faith on Sunday last week.

‘He promised he would demonstrate his faith to us today, but he unfortunately ended up drowning and getting eaten by three large crocodiles in front of us.

‘We still don’t understand how this happened because he fasted and prayed the whole week. They finished him in a couple of minutes.

‘All that was left of him when they finished eating him is a pair of sandals and his underwear floating above the water.’

Reminds me of action of a large topwater bait. Worked, too.

He thought he'd try pulling the walking on water stunt knowing if he failed he was covered by:

“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live."

Yeah, living in the soul of several crocs .... not a bad deal after all.

Stupid is as stupid does.

reminds me of some of our Appalachian snake handler churches....

I would think the name "Crocodile River" would have been a warning.

Satin of the Last Days church,

Misprint for "Saten" or just a statement of style?

Whoops.....Satan.

May God rest his soul.

Perhaps if he had tried to emulate Moses and parted the water instead things would have gone better.

Some reports from a quick Google say it's a made-up story for a joke.

Yeah, it's clearly a croc(k).

Apparently neither God nor the crocs were impressed with his stunt.

Feel bad for his family though (if true).

Simple truth is he wasn't Jesus! He wasn't God, he was a person with a tremendous ego!

Satin of the last days church!!! He put his faith in the wrong personage.

I could not help but laugh out loud. Stupidity should hurt.

It hurt alot in this instance!
