Christian man killing an abortion doctor and justifying his actions in the name of the bible..... thoughts?

I disagree completely with his actions. Thats like 2 wrongs dont make a right. This is why I generally disagree with most Religions.

fringe extremists always give the the rest a bad name.... sad really.

"Since in addition to much good done in the name of God, much abuse has also taken place in that same sacred name. This is because no greater source of justification for one's cause can be evoked than that of "God."

From Cambridge's new book "Christian Theology."

e: Obviously, this man wasn't acting in accordance with the Christian lifestyle, considering one of God's most memorable commandments is "Thou shall not murder."

that is an example of cherry picking.

I've tried seriously thinking about it, and not just brushing it off. IF abortion is truly murder, then what would be the difference between that and a concentration camp. Were the Allied soldiers bad for rolling in and freeing the Jewish Captives and shooting the Nazi guards ? I mean, is all War bad ? When is killing justified for a believer.


on the other hand, I know Jesus tells us all individually to love your enemy, bless those who persecute you, turn the other cheek. I also see no injunction given to go out and use force in the NT. Taking something into your own hands would be like taking revenge, we should just trust God to win over the hearts of the abortionist doctors? Should christians nation wide do non violent civil disobedience by chaining ourselves to the doors ?



Are our sins of omission just as bad as our sins of commission ? Why do so many Christians choose to do nothing.

This man is an hero for killing that mass-murdering maniacal abortion clinic doctor.

not right
it never one time says in the bible that we are allowed to kill another human being

not sure why this would even be up for discussion

God told him to kill


Logic

are you serious? God says thou shall not murder. and no God does not contradict himself. listen to your heart and to the holy spirit. Read the Bible. I will also tell you from experience that the internet can really screw with your head. stick with what God says to you through reading the bible and using the holy spirit in you. If your looking for truth you WILL find it. you wont find all your answers on forums
