Y...I apologize for my use of the term "celebrate." Your comment in response is exactly the tone I expected. Calling it a "tragic killing" and saying you are "praying" for the affected people is exactly the Christian response. In your original post, you did none of that: you called it violence, and that is it. <br /><br />While you cannot be responsible for my expectations, I found your response ignoring that there is a family out there that has lost its spouse and father, and a place of sanctuary that has had its sanctity ripped. As a pastor, those are my first responses; they may not be yours.<br /><br />As much as my word choice was poor, my essential point stands...Should we hold up this tragic killing as God's will to wake up an errant nation, or is this an act of vile human freedom and sin?Rev.

Just where is it in the comments on the tragic killing of Dr. Tiller did I suggest that we ought to celebrate this senseless act? Where did I say it was a good thing that happened? Obviously you missed the main point -- the sowing and reaping thing applies to all of us and sometimes the reaping experience can be very shocking indeed as God permits! And predictably, pro-abortion groups are calling on DHS and the Justice Department to "root out" those potential pro-life "terrorists" and bring them to justice in order to avoid another Tiller incident. No one who is truly pro-life, including myself, takes delight in what happened to George Tiller. Part of my concern involves prayer on behalf of his family and those friends within the church fellowship which will have the bitter memory of this event for many years to come. And prayer also for the man who did the violent act. But then, with your conclusion already established that I am "celebrating" you would not understand that, would you? God, of course, will have the last word on this and all things related to human actions, will He not?PA Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543635628491223561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283470628243930644.post-62421887790626247562009-06-01T23:15:29.571-04:002009-06-01T23:15:29.571-04:00So we celebrate killing people to show that killin...So we celebrate killing people to show that killing people is wrong?<br /><br />Incredible.Rev.
