Is god making one last alter call?

And, as if the win itself weren’t dramatic enough, the football phenom passed for an astonishing 316 yards in ten throws. That would be 31.6 yards a throw. Does that number sound familiar? It should. It’s the verse from the Gospel of John (3:16) that Mr. Tebow had written on his “eye black,” the patch of paint under his eyes to cut glare. For those without your Bible handy that would be: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

316 yards in ten throws, what are the odds?

John 3:16 Is one of the most famous scriptures in the Bible I was surprised to find so many people had to Google it making it the most look up information on the net because of Tebow,

Cute, but it's a coincidence. It is quite amazing however that he draws so much attention just for being an outspoken Christian.

The problem with the bible is that any passage can be taken out of context. But what is the context of the bible? Nobody can really give a good answer.

I did a search for this topic didn't find it posted,

It is interesting, one might say why would god waste his time on a football game, I wonder that myself, but when you consider the numbers of people the message reaches, and the fact people that have never heard John 3:16, and began googling it, it makes me wonder.

Yes, attention being the key word, the right place at the right time with the right scripture.

I am not sure what r/atheism is, thanks for posting.

I don't think that God takes sides in football.

You can be an athlete and a Christian. It is the effort of the individual that perfects his/her sporting ability.

I think that God is more interested in your personal development, not your accomplishments on a sporting field.

not really important though.

John 3:16 was the most Googled search term for much of Sunday evening and into Monday morning, as sports fans and non-sports fans alike tried to make sense of the statistical coincidences (and maybe brush up on the Bible).

I think it would make sense for God to speak through mass media through Tim Tebow. At the very least it makes a whole lot of sense

I understand your point and I have said the same thing myself, it is not about taking sides it is about the message, and what the message accomplishes,
Reading a passage from the Bible that they had never heard

Reading a passage from the Bible that they had never heard, my goodness, I learned that passage when I was three.

thanks for stopping by,

Well since no one can prove God does not exist...... I guess it's entirely possible that God has a hand in it. If you just look around the world at everything the odds that it happen on its own are impossible.

Thank you for the you-tube, I haven't watched it yet, but I think I may have read about it, I will check it out.

I find it ridiculous that people would even consider that G_d honors Tim Tebow's prayers over all the people who are praying for world peace.

If Tebow's G_d gives more attention to football than to relieve pain and suffering, he's no god of mine.

God can't fix our problems for us. He could however get more exposure through a "publicity stunt". Such as helping Tim Tebow.

Tebow is an anagram of web-bot. What could this possibly indicate?
