'A miracle': Voicenotes from an electrician trapped under rubble of collapsed George building

For 29-year-old Delvin Safers, from Mossel Bay, a daring rescue directed by voice notes from underground was nothing short of a miracle.

​​@@marieslabbert6009 yes the name is immature but he had valid point. It's offensive to the millions of victims of unimaginable horrors the way Christians just cherry pick when to give God credit. What about all the people crushed dying a slow death?

[@nw6070]

Yet you know from actual real life that he doesn't save thousands that die horrible deaths. Justlook across the globe on that same day you'll find a kid that drowned and wasn't saved, an innocent lady burnt to death etc. A dog squashed by a speeding bus. How can you ignore that?

​@@nw6070Yes, people know sll of this, but show compassion or have you lost humanity... I'm so shocked at your comment

[@leighcunningham756]

@@nw6070 how sad that you live without hope and faith. If you want answers go and speak to a preacher who will explain about man bringing sin into the world and Jesus dying so that even though we die, we are promised eternal life. (through repentance and believing in Him)

[@nw6070]

@@Arti-ficiallyChi what about my comment is not compassionate. I feel immensely sad for all people that suffer. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of religious people who credit God only for the few that get saved and ignore the rest that suffer. It's ironically out of compassion that I point it out

[@nw6070]

@@leighcunningham756 I'm sorry but blaming our ancestors supposedly doing something wrong, for a child's drowning and not getting saved by God thousands of years later simply doesn't make sense.

[@renebreytenbach6875]

Go read the Word of God & learn from it! Especially the book of Job. After man's sin in Paradise, the relationship between God & man was broken, God gave the world over to satan, while He withdrew from earth. So all the evil & bad in this world, is driven by satan, not God. God only allows temptations by satan to test people's faith, up to a point, to use for His own, unfathomable purposes that we cannot see. If however, you invite Jesus into your heart as your Redeemer & Saviour, through His blood that was shed for you, to reconcile you to God once again, you will know & understand all after this life, in Eternity with God, in the New, reshaped Jerusalem. Then you will know that earthly death has lost its sting, it only is hopeless when you don't cross that bridge with Jesus, & don't choose to go through the reopened door, in Jesus, to be reunited with God once again, in Eternity. Blessings & may you see the Light in your darkness, when Jesus & the Holy Spirit opens your spiritual eyes & ears! ​@@spoilbrattprudaksinz1820
