Editor’s Note:
Over the last two weeks, we have seen two horrible murderous events. People shopping for food in Buffalo, New York, were ruthlessly murdered. In like manner, children simply attending a second thru fourth-grade school in Texas were murdered.
There are many experts giving reasons for all of these murders. They generally speak of mental illness as being the primary cause.
I believe that the scriptures give us a clear and straightforward definition of mental illness as God described one of the causes of the social disorder in the days of Noah before the Flood.

“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. — Luke 17:26
