The guilt of this nation, before the God Who speaks of a nation's productivity being cursed for allowing even one murderer to live, is yet to be fully demonstrated. In the meantime, Bill O'Reilly was spot-on tonight when he linked the George Tiller with the devaluing of children, which led to that man in Oklahoma getting a one-year sentence for raping a five-year-old girl.

And in the...I agree Murder does not justify murder. And in the following, I am in no way calling for physical response. I am comparing events and wondering why they are so different. About 70 years, a process had begun which would eventually end the lives of ^ million jewish (and some other) person. This, in part, invoked a response called war. Many people took to arms to stop this atrocity. The killing of these persons was part of a legal act according to the Gov't in power. Some people, including theologians, under the authroity of the Reich, decided it must obey the powers placed above it and accept the dictates of that authotity. if you disagreed, you just quietly pray. Others spoke openly against the power in control, some staying in harms way and some getting out of Dodge. In my "street polling" about whether the taking up of arms against these atrocity was warranted, almost everyone I have asked agree it was. Innocent people were being killed. Prayer is powerful and it is amazing, but had that been the worlds only response instead of praying and using the abilities we were given to act and respond to protect the innocent, I wonder what the result would have been.<br /><br />Now, Today, in the US there are approximately 1.4 Million abortions per year - about 3,700 abortions per day.<br /><br />Worlswide, there are approximately 42 Million children killed per year under the legal term Abortion. Yes we should pray hard and fast, but is that it. because it is legal, we should work within the system to stop this senseless killing. After all, it's the authoirty placed above us. Just let these innocent continue to die as we quietly pray, maybe lobby a little with letters, and maybe a little lively discussion about it now and then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765859905680932230.post-90630649627321628372009-06-14T10:17:50.601-05:002009-06-14T10:17:50.601-05:00Sad all the way around.

God is judge - the real punishment awaits those who do not truly repent.<br /><br />And the judgment of a nation that tolerates such?

I do recognise that God does deal in poetic justice- the safety of the "mother" church betraying one who violated the safety of so many mothers' wombs.<br /><br />But am I glad that his family is bereaved?
