As I told another person, it would have been helpful if you read my original post. There is a difference between justice and vengeance, wouldn’t you agree? Yes. Or do you define EVERY “killing” as “murder?” No It is my belief that acts of violence in a church are wrong. Please refer to the earlier post. With regard to capital punishment. I believe in capital punishment. But not vigilantism. What do you think should happen to Tiller's murderer?

I read your all your posts on this thread.

Why any more wrong there than anywhere else? And since you are speaking of church, would you care to support your position scripturally? Jesus’ most “violent” act during His sojourn on earth took place in the temple.

When the law says it is OK to murder babies, should baby killers be suffered to operate with impunity and absent any fear of retribution, save directly from God? If your answer is yes, what about when the law says it is ok to kill Jews, to kill the deformed, to kill the elderly, or to kill you? WHEN and WHERE will YOU draw the line (if anywhere) for “vigilantism,” self-defense, or the defense of the innocent in the face of unjust laws?

He should be incarcerated and prosecuted, and tried before a jury of his peers. If found innocent, he should walk out a free man, if not, he should pay his debt to society, while he awaits his ultimate judgment (and reward or condemnation) before the seat of Him who judges justly.
