IF, IF, IF America! We must wake up and, as a nation, repent of this grave and grievous evil or we are finished as a nation.
“abortionist George Tiller, whose career ended with his murder three years ago”
Praise God, Tiller is DEAD.
Did you ever see his videos? Pure Evil. This guy was evil.
There is no other way to describe him except pure evil. He knew what he was doing and was proud of himself for it.
Just watched a video of him on You Tube. His father was an abortionist too.
And it's more than abortion we need to repent of and turn back to God about.
If I remember correctly, Dr. Tiller was a deacon in his church and was given a Christian service and burial, attended by a large crowd of mourners. But of all the mourners, God must have been the most heartbroken. A beautiful and healthy child had grown up to be a gifted and educated man; that man, George Tiller then made the decision to dedicate his life to evil almost beyond comprehension. We and the God who made and loved George have now seen the last of him.
We who are left to deal with the evil of abortion must turn to our churches and DEMAND that they come to grips with the reality of abortions and abortionists. No more moonbeams and unicorns. This is the real world, and murder is murder.
It’s also heartbreaking the number of people who came to mourn him and decry the evil of his murder without seeing the hypocrisy of their position in that they supported his murdering the most innocent and vulnerable of all.
What hypocrisy...
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT CHRIST IS LORD, NEVER WISH THIS!
I'm comforted that God is in command. I'm comforted that God has infinite wisdom, far greater than that of any human being.
God, though His Incarnate Son, gave us "The Lord's Prayer". That states (in English, in the translation I believe is well agreed upon):
"And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us. "
Note that trade: our trespasses will be forgiven only so much as we forgive other's trespasses.
I'm not going to lie and say that "asking for forgiveness for George Tiller" is easy. It isn't. His crimes against the most innocent were wretched.
But ultimately God is in command, and deciding who goes into Hell or who stays out is His providence only.
Here are two practical, useful reasons why we're supposed to forgive: First, it keeps us from allowing anger to eat us alive. Second, it gives us better ability to approach sinners like Tiller to try to help them. Or to honestly pray for them.
This isn't just theoretical. Some of the absolute best resources the pro-life side has are people who used to perform abortions. While we can debate if the actions of a theoretical (and regrettably not real) "reformed, pro-life Tiller" would balance out all the horror he committed, the truth is that this would be better for the pro-life cause than his not converting.
He had videos?
