According to Fox News, George Tiller, the infamous late-term abortionist, known as "Tiller the Baby Killer" was shot to death this morning (May 31, 2009). The murderer of Mr. Tiller was a white male 50-60 years old, who fled the scene of crime, but is now in custody.
While I am extremely against Mr. Tiller's practices as an abortionist, I am also against the "vigilante justice" he faced and fell to this morning. I do not agree with murder at all as it is condemned by the LORD GOD in both the Old and New Testament in the Holy Scriptures. Both men's actions were sinful according to the Bible.
Unfortunately I cannot believe that Mr. Tiller or this vigilante were saved men, for the word says "that ye shall know them by their fruit," and the fruit of one man's labor was the killing of unborn children and the other man's was pre-meditated murder. BOTH ARE SIN. In the book of Proverbs chapter 6, the Lord speaks:
"These 6 things doth the Lord hate, yea 7 are an abomination to Him, a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood..."
I pray that Mr. Tiller's family will find the Lord Jesus through this destructive situation and find His peace at this trying time. I also pray that wisdom will avail itself to all those who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ as we should be ministering to those in need. Mrs. Tiller is now a widow, and the Lord God has a very special place in His heart for widows and orphans. Should the Church who is the Body of Christ not reach out to this woman whose husband was slain and whose children are now fatherless? Was this man any more of a sinner than you or I? Yes, he sinned in a more visible manner than us, but is not also hatred considered murder in the heart, which is just as condemnable as physical murder according to Jesus Christ in the Gospels? How many of us would say we hated this man? We are just as guilty.
May the LORD GOD turn this travesty into something that can glorify Him in the end. Mrs Tiller, may you and yours find Christ in this desperate time.
