Doing God's Work and being punished for it.

I can easily see God ordering a mere mortal to remove a woman driving wrecklessly from the roads. Clearly the man saw a hazard waiting to happen and resolved the problem.

I don't understand the need for a psychiatric examination.

Man Says God Ordered Him to Ram Vehicle at 100 Mph


SAN ANTONIO — A man who rammed his truck into a woman's vehicle on a highway early Friday told authorities he crashed into her while going more than 100 mph because God told him "she needed to be taken off the road."

The truck rear-ended the car on U.S. Highway 281 and both vehicles spun across a median before coming to a stop along a barrier in the opposite lanes.

The drivers suffered only minor injuries.

"He just said God said she wasn't driving right, and she needed to be taken off the road," Bexar County Sheriff's Office spokesman Kyle Coleman said in the online edition of the San Antonio Express-News. "God must have been with them, 'cause any other time, the severity of this crash, it would have been a fatal."

The pickup driver did not tell police how the woman was driving. Police could not find evidence that alcohol or drugs were involved.

A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for the man

Amen, Brother Tanner. Isn't there an old saying that no good deed goes unpunished?

Poor man. Can you believe that they actually don't believe that it's God's will??

No, because he does follow the will of God.

So obeying God's will is proof of insanity now? What is becoming of this world

We can't bee jumping to conclusions Brothers. How do we know it was actually God talking to this man? This comment from the link Brother Jeb posted makes some very valid points!

Divine guidance needs to be checked to make sure you aren't listening to a counterfeit -- a demon. Remember, Satan can appear as an angel of light. But we have the authority to cast out demons. Even Satan himself has to submit to the authority of Jesus.

A good book on discerning the difference is "Hearing God" by Dallas Willard. It explains how to develop a personal relationship with our Creator.
