A sign? Man bursts into flames at San Francisco sex shop

The shop where the incident reportedly took place. Photo credit: AOL

For seven year Roger Huang, a pastor who runs a rescue mission in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district, has been trying to shut down the sex shops there. This week he may have seen a sign that his efforts are working.

On Wednesday, a man burst into flames while inside one of those porn shops, police said.

Could this bizarre incident be attributed to a higher power?

“I believe so. I definitely believe so,” Huang told AOL News, adding that he hopes the unidentified man is recovering from the burns.

The police aren’t ruling anything out.

    This story is rather interesting. Those who believe in God and worship Him will obviously state that it is a sign from God. The non-believers and deniers will state otherwise. God allows these things to happen to prove “who is in control.”
    What happened to this man is indeed a sign. As to what occurred to him is mysterious which every sensible person should comprehend and not deny.
    You doubters and deniers need to read more and on religious matters. If you do not believe in God and are not practicing the faith you better commence doing so. Who knows how long you will live and what will occur when you least expect it and then you are faced with your eternal judgment. Give this a serious thought.
    When I read this article the thought of a movie which was shown on Eternal Word Television Network a few years came to my mind. This occurred in the ancient days. It is a true story. The following is the story as much as I can remember:

    “One Sunday”, some men got together in a room and were playing cards for money – gambling. All of a sudden a handsome man appeared and commenced playing with them, even giving them advice on playing. As the man was walking away the place “caught fire” and consumed them. They burned to death. The handsome man was the devil. Consider where their souls ended up.

    The evil one is quite capable of doing that. He, who is the enemy of God and of our souls and jealous of us, knowing that he has lost Heaven forever due to disobedience and rebelliousness, knows that as long as we are alive, every one stands a chance of being saved. The enemy wants as many souls in his eternal cauldron. He wants nothing good for us. You better believe it.
    The same thing may have happened to the man who was viewing the sex movie. He caught on fire. It is a mystery how this occurred. It is unexplainable. If and when he recovers he may be able to explain what occurred. According to the article, one thing we know he was viewing this immoral movie. The devil is the one who influenced him to view this movie or whatever it is. He is always present, specifically at such a time.
    This man got a taste of Hell. He is fortunate that he was not burned to death. He will be fortunate if he recovers from the burn and unscathed.
    As for those of you who make fun about the Holy Water. I urge you to cease your ungodly, satanic words. This is the influence of Satan as well, to scoff at religious matters. You are not doing the work of God but of Satan, our enemy.
    I have already stated on this Website that the water is blest by the Priest. As he does this, God blesses it on high; same when a child or adult is baptized. Do not underestimate God and his power. Do not underestimate the Holy Water. There is a special prayer which the Priest prays prior to and during the blessing of the Holy Water. I have a copy of it which I would love to share with you sometime.
    If you are ignorant in this faith, namely, the Catholic Faith; if you are a fallen away Catholic; if you have renounced your Catholic Faith, you are obviously ignorant of this Faith. You also failed to cultivate your faith. You need to do some research and read more about this Faith.
    What you do not know about; what you cannot prove or disprove you should never deny it. Your ignorance is showing.
    As it is stated: “It is better to believe than not to believe…” You better believe for the day is coming when God will hold you accountable for your adverse and ignorant words, your scoffing. You need to educate yourself on those matters before it is too late for you.
    On prayers and healing. They work. God knows our heart. God could only heal the heart. He could heal the heart and also physically. People do get healed from cancer, othher illnesses and even aids. One must believe in God, have the faith and practice it.
    God does not heal for no reasons. When He heals He expects something from those whom He healed. This is to practice the faith and to always do good. It is God’s prerogative to heal or not to heal. Human beings have absolutely nothing to do with it.

    Pleasantly surprised to see the end-of-the-world people haven’t started posting yet. After all, one man spontaneously combusting (or however else it may have happened) is surely, unquestionably evidence of the destruction of the universe (possibly of multiple universes, at that). Never mind the millions of people watching porn and doing more than watching it while this guy was in the shop, of course; all it takes is one guy most of the world will never hear about.

    May 22nd will be a fun day.

    this is Spontaneous Combustion. After an autopsy if they can pinpoint the fire starting from inside out it’s gonna be labeled as that.. Still no explanation why humans burst into flames at random times to random ppl..

      To reply to your statement that cancer and aids cannot be cured with holy water. No, that will never happen but the power of God and he being the healer of all healers then……..then you can say that cancer and aids can be cured by his power.

      no. and never holy water….
