“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” Galatians 6:7
The man was a monster, plain and simple, and he indeed did reap what he had sown. The fact that he was killed whilst serving as an usher at some “church” illustrates the level of his own mockery and hypocrisy, and also the depths to which the institutional church has sunk by allowing someone like this to be in their midst.
The idea of “christian” love today is falsely based on the idea of being nice and tolerant and friendly to the criminal, the evil doer. “Now now, let’s not be too harsh with the child butcher, we must show him love! In fact, to show the world just how Christ-like and godly we are, let us embrace this man, and make him an usher!” This is wrong in so many ways. It’s not about loving the wicked, but of loving the brethren. The biblical concept of loving the brethren requires, for example, the protection of the community from such evil men; from murderers, adulterers and such, and commands that one “put away the evil that is among you.”
A 51-year-old Kansas man was charged with first-degree murder late Sunday in the death of a physician whose Kansas women’s clinic frequently took center stage in the U.S. debate over abortion, authorities said.
Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed while serving as an usher at his Wichita church Sunday morning, according to police. Tiller was one of the few U.S. physicians who still performed late-term abortions and had survived a 1993 shooting outside his clinic.
Scott Roeder from the Kansas City, Kansas, area is being held without bond in the Sedgwick County Adult Detention Facility, according to the sheriff’s office Web site. In addition to murder, he was charged with two counts of aggravated assault.
Roeder is expected to appear in court early this week, law enforcement officials said.
The attack drew condemnation from Tiller supporters, from some of those who tried to shut down his practice and from President Obama, who had urged Americans to seek “common ground” on the divisive issue just two weeks ago.
“However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence,” Obama said in a statement issued by the White House.
The shooting prompted U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to direct federal marshals to “offer protection to other appropriate people and facilities around the nation,” according to a statement from the Department of Justice.
