Praying for all involved. So sad! Small plane crash kills 9 in Bahamas, probe beginsAssociated Press 1 hour ago (November 10, 2014) FREEPORT, Grand Bahama (AP) — A small plane that crashed on approach to the island of Grand Bahama killed all 9 people on board, including a prominent Christian minister and his wife, the government of the Bahamas said. The Lear 36 Executive Jet had taken off from the Bahamian capital of Nassau and crashed while attempting to land Sunday evening in Freeport, according to a statement from the Ministry of Transport and Aviation. Among those killed was Myles Munroe, the founder of Bahamas Faith Ministries, who was traveling to Grand Bahama to attend the 2014 Global Leadership Forum, Prime Minister Perry Christie said. "It is utterly impossible to measure the magnitude of Dr. Munroe's loss to The Bahamas and to the world," the prime minister said. "He was indisputably one of the most globally recognizable religious figures our nation has ever produced." Munroe's wife, Ruth was also on the plane, Christie said. The names of other passengers have not yet been confirmed, but the government said they included another minister, Richard Pinder, and a child. An investigation into the cause of the crash has begun. news.yahoo.com/small-plane-crashes-bahamas-killing-120939597.html

I find it very hard (OK, OK...impossible) to feel sorry for people like that.

Myles Munroe Is Dead: Be Filled With Sorrow And Joy
According to Charisma News “Dr. Myles Munroe, internationally-known author, bible teacher, governmental consultant and leadership mentor, was one of nine passengers on a plane that crashed in Grand Bahama on Sunday afternoon, according to multiple news reports. A Lear 36 executive jet left the Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) for the Grand Bahama International Airport, the Department of Civil Aviation reports. The plane departed at 4:07 p.m. and carried nine people. The vessel crashed while making its landing approach, the Department of Civil Aviation said. News reports indicate his wife, Ruth, and daughter were also killed in the crash.” He was attending a conference called the Global Leadership Forum, whose theme was “Leading Change In A Globalized World, Through Principled Innovative Leadership.” If the name Myles Munroe sounds familiar to you, it should. We wrote about him previously when a Youtube video surfaced of him saying that people don’t want to hear about Jesus’ blood and the cross. That you shouldn’t talk about his crucifixion, death or resurrection, but rather should talk to people about the good news of how God can solve problems. But apart from that wicked little comment, he was known as a full-blown prosperity preacher. His teaching epitomized all the most awful and terrible parts of this damnable system, synthesized as an idiosyncrasy which married word-faith with governmental economic and globalization theories. He used Religion and Jesus to build his fortune, and there is a long, documented trail of false teaching and Christ-kicking blasphemy in his wake. Suffice to say that he didn’t just have a few theological quirks that could be tolerated and accepted, but by every standard of biblical faithfulness he twisted and spewed forth theological perversions that robbed and injured the souls of his hearers, fundamentally distorting the gospel message of who Jesus is and what he came to accomplish. So like when Tony Palmer passed, and we said we ought to be both joyful and filled with sorrow, we repeat this “As for the man himself- like any enemy of the faith that breathes their last, we ought to be both saddened and heartened by this news. Saddened because a man and his family are dead and there will be hundreds, if not thousands grieving. Presumably not all the dead were as Myles was- they were not all enemies of the Gospel, and consequently it is a hard, aching tragedy that ought to cause believers everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer and supplication that the Holy Spirit might be a balm to the mourner’s souls. It’s a surreal, painful time when anyone passes away, especially in such brute circumstances, and we ought to empathize with those in mourning. The Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and neither should we. We can only pray that all parties repented of their sins before they perished and will join us in paradise. I want nothing more than for this to be the case. Heartened? Because relating specifically to Myles Munroe, a man who was peddling theological and spiritual poison is no longer a direct threat to the Christian Church.” He cannot preach any more of his heresy. He cannot bind Christ to the Almighty dollar bill and tie the gospel narrative to the riches and filthy lucre that he promised you had coming to you if only you became a Christian and gave him your seed offering. His reach has withered already, and will continue to diminish as time passes. It’s all fading to black. By all accounts, ironically, the plane he perished in was his own private Lear plane, the fruits of his fleecings and an instrument of destruction in the hands of the Almighty God- the Judge of all the earth who will do right. link

Well, the plane exploded on impact, so he had no time to repent...although I suspect these prosperity pimps wouldn't repent except to be sorry they got caught. I'm not rejoicing that he's dead, but I am glad he won't be deceiving any more gullible sheeple.
Talk about a lack of discernment! Here are some comments from the wacky boards:
PASTOR MUNROE AND FAMILY DIES, HIS FLOCK WEEP…
so sad.
also moving to see how his flock loved him.
Response #1: good message,
what a legacy… Response #2:
What a tragedy; for the families left behind, with this sudden death of these people. I'm praying all the dead are with the Lord now, and rejoicing in their Heavenly home. (Yeah, he and Paul Crouch are probably discussing the false gospel they promoted...and regretting it.)
No one is promised tomorrow, all we have is the present, therefore, we should
live each day, as if it was our last. This way we would always be prepared to meet the Lord, whenever God calls us home.
Praying for the families who lost loved ones, that they may be comforted by
the word's from scripture; absent from the body, present with the Lord. Amen.

Check out the greeting on their ministry Christmas card; nothing about Jesus coming to save us from our sins, just more GIMME!

Investigation Into Jet Crash That Killed Prominent Pastor Myles Munroe Set to Begin
Nov 10, 2014, 5:38 AM ET By ABC NEWS via GOOD MORNING AMERICA A full investigation is slated to begin today, one day after a private Lear jet crashed on approach near Grand Bahama International Airport, killing everyone on board, including a prominent pastor and his wife. All passengers on the flight died, with nine people reportedly on board, the Royal Bahamas Police Force said. The jet was carrying Dr. Myles Munroe and his wife, Ruth, according to Kelley Jackson, a spokeswoman from the Andrew J. Young Foundation. Munroe, 60, was a pastor and motivational speaker, the founder of Bahamas Faith Ministries International Fellowship. Ruth served as co-senior pastor. "Ambassador Young expresses his deep sadness over the tragic death of his friends Dr. Myles and Mrs. Ruth Munroe," the organization posted on its Facebook page. "He offers condolences to the Munroe family and the families of the other souls who lost their lives as a result of this shocking plane crash." Prominent Evangelical Pastor, Wife Among 9 Dead in Bahamas Jet Crash Senior vice president and pastor Richard Pinder also died in the crash, ABC News has learned. Members of Munroe’s organization sobbed and wailed when they learned of the crash. The group was traveling to the Bahamas to attend a Global Leadership Forum arranged by Munroe. That event will continue, according to a statement posted to Munroe’s Facebook page. “This is what Dr. Munroe would have wanted,” it said. “Please keep his family and the ministry in prayers.” William M. Wilson, the president of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Munroe was a student and later adjunct professor, released a statement after Munroe’s death. “His energy and enthusiasm for imparting Spirit Empowered Christianity to new generations was contagious,” Wilson said in the statement. A representative of the Bahamas Air accident investigation and prevention unit confirmed the crash to ABC News, but declined to identify the victims. The cause of the crash is unknown. link

Well, I guess he's had to answer for fleecing the sheep and denying the gospel. All the Pulpit Pimps are expressing condolences on his FB page, saying things like "a general has been called home" and "he's dancing with the angels." Somehow, I doubt that...not after he denied the blood of Jesus!
This was an interesting post on his FB page:
