No one can deny that God is at work in these circumstances

Okay — they you are either an Atheist or a Deist. That would also make you wrong. As Benjamin Franklin said: “God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?...” –Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech.
I am not suggesting that God knocked down the plane — that God “killed” those innocent children from the family of an abortionist. I AM suggesting that everything happens for a reason — for a purpose. I am quite certain that God KNOWS what those purposes and reasons are — I do not. Nor do you.
Thus, it is left to us to humble ourselves before Him, pray for others, and reach those we can. Or, we can reject the idea and “sow to the wind.” Without doubt, however, we inexorably “reap the whirlwind.”
I should of said the First Christians and the Message of Jesus Christ came from the Jews....
Jesus did not come to start a New Religion.
He came to teach mankind the Love and Mercy of GOD...

Deb:
I think you missed my ENTIRE point. Additionally, you attribute to me the apparent feelings of the original poster.
You may be sickened by my SUPPOSED attitude toward those innocent children (and others) who died in that plane crash — but your own evident biases are betrayed in your misreading of my words.
Let me restate myself in simpler language. The crash of that plane — and the consequent loss of life — are tragic, and sad. I have NO authority to say that God “caused” that plane to crash. I have no authority to say that this was some kind of cosmic payback against a man whose hands ARE covered with the blood of innocents.
I DO have authority to say that GOD KNOWS why this happened. and GOD will use it to accomplish His will. Don’t like that? I would suggest you read the book of Job. If you’re still not satisfied with what I’ve said, hate God, not me.
Karma.
“The pilot, who was a former military flier who logged over 2,000 miles...
I hope he logged more than 2,000 miles before becoming a pilot. “
You’d have to crash more than one plane in the forest to log 2000 miles.
Members of the Feldkamp family, led by Bud Feldkamp, second from left, who lost two daughters and five grandchildren in the crash, are seen at the scene of fatal airline crash outside the Butte Airport in Butte, Mont., on Monday, March. 23, 2009
God doesn’t punish children for the sins of their parents (see Ezek. chap. 18)
And when his disciples asked Jesus why a tower fell on some people—was it because of their sins or their parents’ sins—he said, neither.
IOW, there is not always a direct cause-effect relationship.
It’s a tragedy for the family, and they have my sympathy.
It’s also ironic.
Abortion is also murder.
That's like flying from New York to Denver. That has to be 2,000 hours.
Did you forget the sarcasm tag?
Why are you outraged at the perception that people are celebrating the death of innocent grandchildren, but not outraged at the fact that innocent children are being killed every hour for profit? That is what is going on in this country, after all.
Some interesting points I have read in the past few days -
This guy’s son who lives in Oregon recently lost a 10 month old son who got trapped between his crib mattress and the bars.
The neighbor of the daughter who lived in St. Helena raved about what a good Christian family they were.
The Scripture quote of the sins of the father being passed down succeeding generations comes to mind.
“the most cold, vicious, mean, narrow-minded, hateful scum on the face of the earth”
Sheesh, that’s how I describe the leftists I lived among in the Bay Area for eight years.

This garbage is equivalent to the Brady Bunch’s blood-dance after every lunatic-with-a-gun incident.
Indeed. If you are repulsed by the exploitation of notorious crimes by the gun-control lobby, you must by necessity by equally repulsed by this equivalent behavior.
Indeed.
And I see that the usual depraved apologists for this sort of indecency are already out in force. We can only hope for the day when they finally go to far and are banned from FR.
