Patriot or Murderer

Those who live by the sword will die by the sword. A paraphrased version of Matthew 26:52, and it has come to be understood as those who treat people badly will be treated badly as well. Said another way, You will reap what you sow. (Galatians 6:7)

Most people, who are not Christians, are fond of pointing the finger at professed Christians when they "break the rules", reminding them of the principle they have broken. If you aren't a Christian, then you have no set rules to live by but if you profess to be a Christian, then you have very clear rules to follow.

Dr. George Tiller, a late-term abortionist out of Wichita, KS was fatally shot while attending the Reformation Lutheran Church. What had he sown that he now reaped?

His family calls him a "good Christian" and wants him to be remembered as such. I am sure they do, however, it is not what we want but what God wants that matters.

What does God want? How do we know such a thing? Who knows the mind of God?

What we have to go on is the Word of God, as written in the Scriptures and accepted by the Christian church. For Christians, this is all we have.

I went to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America to see their official position on the subject. I was dismayed but understood how someone could call themselves a Christian and still be an abortionist.

A developing life in the womb does not have an absolute right to be born, nor does a pregnant woman have an absolute right to terminate a pregnancy.

Should a church take a politically correct position on a sin? Can being "lukewarm" ever be the correct position for the church?

Christ said He would spew out the lukewarm church, the "fence riders". (Revelations 3:16)

If a woman wants an abortion, there are plenty of non-Christian doctors who can provide the service, but it is completely hypocritical for a Christian to do so.

The great "O" has stated he is "shocked and outraged" and "However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence." - LA Times

Just what does he think abortion is, if not violent? Perhaps it isn't a violent act towards the "mother" who has been sedated but if the baby could talk, I am sure it would characterize the act as very violent!

Should Scott Roeder, the suspect in the shooting, be found guilty? I say "No". He is no more guilty of murder than is Dr. Tiller. And perhaps Roeder was carrying out God's will, certainly Tiller wasn't.

I have heard it said that all the people in favor of abortion are those who have been born. How fortunate for them!

Dr. George Tiller, Patriot or Murderer?

Scott Roeder, Patriot or Murderer?

God will have the final say, we'll have to wait to know the answer.
