Editor, Times-Union: Concerning the airliner that crashed in France killing all of those innocent passengers ... upon hearing that one pilot left the control to go elsewhere in the plane, and the other pilot set the controls and allowed the plane to go into a drive and then crash. What kind of people are the parents of such individuals? How does any parent raise their son or daughter to become a suicidal loser, with an edge leaning on homicide? How many nations have the Judeo-Christian scriptures in their own language? Does anyone understand what “thou shalt not murder” means? This pilot, according to sources later in the week of this tragedy, was said to have “suicidal impulses.” How does any company justify placing such an individual at the controls of an airplane? That man’s soul is now in eternity, along with the souls of all those people he killed in his selfish act of suicide. I guarantee that he is not happy about where his immortal soul awakened. There are millions of people in this world who have played games with the lives of others, and a lot of these people have never repented of their actions or cruel words, adulteries or other wrongs yet they continue on with their little games with no fear of consequences for their action, no fear of God of his wrath. Life is just a big joke to these people. Well, if you look at the incidents in the Middle East, and what is occurring in and around Israel, I can tell you that the time for foolish behavior is almost at end. The world is heading for a great and terrible war, with the nations of planet Earth seeking to destroy Israel; but the God of creation, and the Messiah, Jesus Christ, will destroy all the military powers which seek Israel’s destruction. These false “ambassadors” and political hacks all wondering across the world promoting “peace” are in for a rude awakening, as peace on this planet will not happen until the true Savior of man comes, and all the world will see him at that time. No murderer will be excused from the judgement of God, at least no one who fails to seek God’s forgiveness, and these “suicidal murderers” such as that one who crashed the plane this week, well, for him it is way too late to say “I’m sorry!” What a wasted life!
