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.

Jesus walked on water and now this guy is literally feces
What a CHUM(p) !
The difference is Jesus could stop a crocodile attack......
Not to mention really walk on water.....
You would think that after already getting 90 feet out into the river and still wasn’t walking on water, that he would have realized something had gone awry.
[[before trying to climb onto the surface of the river.
How the heck do you do that?]]
With a ladder of course-
This just has to be FAKE NEWS.
Click Bait Fake Story?
Not a good idea to read the Bible while taking hallucinogens.
This sounds like the Babylon Bee
This sounds like the Babylon Bee
Sounds like a parody from The Babylon Bee. However, we can be sure poor theology leads to silly practices, false converts, and corrupt worship.
“...You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
I’m thinking I’d have gone on a test run in the backyard wading pool before going full Crocodile River. You never go full Crocodile River without a bigger boat.
Having said that, I agree with others who ID this as fake. Why in the world would the crocs spit out the underwear? They don’t spit wildebeest hair.
Ye of little faith, and stupid on top of it.
Poor chap didn’t realize Jesus is God, and he isn’t.

Great point! But, this is exactly how the Bible was written... Funny how these “miracles” always happened a long time ago in a desert far, far away...
How about just teaching the congregation that Jesus is God and has command over all physical elements?
...and snake handlers get bit by vipers.
Is this an example of a possible charlatan, a Simon wishing to purchase the magic as described in Acts 8:18...
Also, in Africa there is a substantial presence of witch doctors and Voodoo (Vudun), conjurer’s which could even bring about attempts of a type of fusion of biblical teachings and practices of shamanistic rituals.
Having been in discussion with a few missionaries in Africa (Africans and Americans), witch doctors hold sway over many people throughout Africa.
