Goodbye George Tiller....

I cant say I will miss you. You were a murderer, and guilty of not only killing, but helping people kill. You reapd what you sowed, except that you probably should have been dismembered and burned with saline before you actually died. Perhaps that was mercy. I sure hope by some miracle you were able to reconcile with forgiveness and escape the tormen you were headed to in those last moments.

While I dont participate in modern Institutional Christianity, I cannot help but be astounded at the reality that some organization affiliated in some way with Christ would EVER allow a man like that inside their building. It is one thing if a person who dosnt claim to be a follower does this kid of thing, that isto be understood. But as soon as you claim to be a follower of Christ, and then explicitly do things like murder, and facilitate murder, you should be removed and never allowed back until you have clearly turned.

I hurt for the family of this man, wether they supported him in his work or not. He supported his family with death, but I dont know their positions on it. I can only hope that in Gods inifinte wisdom and love something good comes out of this.

Im not sure if I condone or condem the shooter. I cannot say I feel bad this man is dead. I dont think it will stop abortions, even at his facility. But I cannot deny the reality that in the Tanakh, God directed his people to do similar things to similar people, and to disobey was sin. The whole God who changes not problem arises as well, so I cannot really say what happenned was wrong.

However, I cannot condone it easily either, as vengence isnt ours, even on behalf of the babies. Unless God directs us, and that opens up a can of worms I cannot bear to deal with.

I know this, I would have hoped and loved to have seen this man repent, and turn away from this. I wished he could have been truly saved from this. Im pro-life, but Im not a pacifist nor am I a viglante. Im a follower of Christ, and Christ loved that man, and died for him and desired earnestly that George Tiller would have had eternal fellowship with Yahweh in all pleasure and fulfillment. He wanted hime to be forgivedn, and Im confident strove with all his power to bing that man into freedom.

The main difference between George Tiller and Christ is Christ died of his own choice for what he believed, while George Tiller killed others by his own choice for what he believed.

While I do not condone Tiller, I also cannot condone what the killer did. Sin is sin, regardless. Take this guy names Saul for instance. This jerk was killing Christians (men, women, kids, didn't matter) or having them thrown in prison. Jesus saved him, can you believe it?
Or what about the author of this comment, he is despicable. Sometimes he worships food instead of God. One time, he even made his wife feel bad because she hurt his feelings. That's right, his wife did not worship him and he got upset about it. Jesus saved Him.
Ted Bundy, serial killer, saved by Jesus. Dave Berkowitz, a.k.a. the Son of Sam, killed many, and Jesus saved him.
The difference between unrepentant sinners and sinners is the repentance piece. We are all sinners who have to repent. Even Tiller.
For all we know, God was really wrestling with his conscience and leading him to repentance before the bullets struck.
I understand your feelings. That is the search for justice and for things to be made right. That is a feeling God has put inside of you so you could identify with Him.
All sin is part of our nature of depravity, no matter what the sin is. There is no ranking (abortion is not a worse sin than any other murder or than worshiping any other god).
I pray you see this and possibly retract your previous statements.
