[Mr. Brightside]

I can't really disagree with anything he said.

I hope you don't also agree with CCF that extreme circumstances (like abortion on demand) deserve extreme actions (like the crimes committed by Eric Rudolph).

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

All sin deserves death. Eating an apple when God told you not to deserved death. Lots of things. The gospel is this: Jesus paid the penalty so you don't have to. And not only that. He rose again and conquered death. So you too can have newness of life, no longer a slave to sin, but now a slave to righteousness.

Forgiveness, compassion, mercy...all are meaningless without the lens of God's holiness and righteousness. Look to the cross: it is a picture of God's righteousness and His mercy, His holiness and His lovingkindness, His judgment and His forgiveness. Step one of the road to true saving faith: the sinner must understand from His heart that he/she is worthy of death.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see.

Search me Oh God, and know my heart..

Create in me a clean heart oh God

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus

The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death

All sinners stand condemned by God's righteous law, which is violated first in the heart, then in our actions. Lessening that truth is an obstacle to the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ. When society demands tolerance for sin and excuses for sinners, it inadvertently guarantees that the sinner will face his own death penalty when he stands before the judgment seat of Christ. So be ashamed now, repent and believe, or face the eternal death penalty later.

I suppose you're going to try to ping words or thoughts on me that I didn't say? Sometimes extreme circumstances demand extreme solutions. I stated that yes, abortion "doctors" are murderers, but a higher justice will have to take care of them. Currently US law does not call abortion a capital crime, although morally speaking it is. I am not calling for snipers to come crawling out of the woodwork to "off" abortionists. I have complete conviction that the universal laws of justice will take care of everything that needs to be taken care of, sooner or later.

Does that mean that citizens should never, ever take justice into their own hands? No, sometimes they should. When? Well, during Hitler's reign of terror it was morally right for people to lie to protect Jews and other targets, or even assasinate the agents of death. It's not a paint by numbers world.
