    First of all I want to say in the name of the father and of the son and of the holyspirit Amen.

    It’s very good enough that God has shown to them the first example of attempting to murder. The bad of it is that that child is not dead.

    To let them feel the consequence of attempting to kill others anyway God is great to let our maj.Gen beeing alive. As the proverb said what seen at first to be good became a disaster.

    Let your hidden terrorist try it too they will die all.

    Thanks by
