This has got to be the most ridiculous story I've ever heard. I wish people would stop sending me this crap...

Subject: MIRACLE TOOK PLACE IN EGYPT

THE STORY BELOW IS AMAZING. IT JUST HAPPENED RECENTLY.

NEWS FROM EGYPT:

A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife and then buried her with their infant baby and 8-year old daughter. The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him, they found the 2 little girls under the sand - ALIVE !

The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed.

The older girl was asked how she had survived. "A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister," she said.

She was interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim woman news anchor. She said on public TV, "This was none other than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!"

Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He
really was crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle. Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out what to do with this, and the popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help! With Egypt at the center of the media and education in the Middle East, you can be sure this story will spread.

Christ is still turning the world around towards Him!

Please share this True File. The Lord says, "I will bless the person who puts his trust in me."
(Jeremiah 17:7) Please spread the news. God bless you all.

Now I belong to Jesus, Jesus belongs to me, Not for the years of time alone, But for eternity.

You'd think that if it had happened recently it would be in the news. But searching "Miracle in Egypt" brings up no reliable news references.

Well of course not! The story is being supressed by radicals so that it won't get out. [Roll Eyes] [Wink]

Yay my first chow. Hope it tastes better than that puppy chow I ate as a kid. [Razz]

The story is just as assinine the second time around. Alien lizardmen stories are more realistic.

Then again, the alien lizardmen are REAL.

Now, I did a search of snopes and the message boards and came up with nothing. People need to use the proper terms when posting stuff (i.e. the terms I use to look up what I'm trying to find) LOL!

I will never understand why Christians don't understand that it weakens their cause when they have to make up ridiculous and poorly written stories to illustrate their faith. Can they not find legitimate stories? And if they can't, should they maybe examine what they believe?

Looks like I just added page number 32 to my Federal Gov't file...
