I confess that I did not even flinch when I heard this news.
It is difficult to think that this scumbag’s life was worth more that the over 60,000 children he murdered.
This is what I tell my 2nd grade Sunday school class “going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger”.
I have a hard time believing, based on what he did for a living, he was right with God when his time came.
The people in that Lutheran church are hideously confused.
I honestly believe that anyone calling themselves “Christian” who would stand by and allow a member of their own church be an active participant in infanticide as this “church” did, is not a Church that God recognizes as His.
At the bare best, this “Reformation Lutheran Church” is guilty of being as the church at Thyatira (Revelation 3). And I am inclined to think much worse - such as the synagogue of Satan as described in Revelation 3... “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie;”.
CHRISTIAN is not an adjective. It is an active noun.
Either you is ‘a Christ-like one’ or you is not. And to be a Christ-like one means you live His life.
No where do I find Jesus Christ performing an abortion, but I do find Him healing a woman with a blood disease, a blind man, ten lepers, a demonic man, an official’s child, another man’s servant . . . among many others.
WWJD? Jesus would not have killed Dr Tiller, but would have patiently waited for him to repent . . . just as He waited for “Jane Roe” and still waits for many others. Now, Dr Tiller will not get the chance to change his mind.
From the little I’ve heard, it appears that the LEFT wing Media is trying to make the Shooter out to be some “religious nut” who had mental health issues. I think someone classed him as a “domestic terrorist.”
Somehow . . . letters to the editor? . . . we need to counter that tag with something verifiable. To my knowledge he was NOT a member of this forum or of any other Conservative group.
What is the difference between assassinating Hitler and assassinating this man? 60,000 versus 6,000,000? that is the only difference that I can see.
Vengeance is the Lord’s. Yes it is. One death or six million, is the same. Life is precious, even the life of the monster who’s wife sings in the choir. What a screwed up family that must be.
Something tells me this church sect was about as traditional Lutheran as Westboro is traditional Baptist. Look up the various sects. Not all Lutheran Churches have blood of the innocents on their hands. This obviously is a very liberal sect just as some liberal sects are hidden even in the Roman Catholic or Baptist Churches.
The minister and Board of this church were only too happy to take Tiller’s money every week, and to reward him with a position as an usher.
Imagine the hands that gave you your bulletin each week being bathed in the blood of viable infants that he murdered.
What kind of “church” is this, that would not confront this evil?
I would go so far as to say they are damned.
From a noted Lutheran Scholar from 1973:
Aspotate.
This church gave evil a place of honor. This church not only did not confront evil, it celebrated it.
Bullsh**.

Amazing, isn't it? They let pretty much anyone in the door except The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
Same here.
The Pastor and Pastorette have something special to look forward to:shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiachNAsbU 2 Peter 2:1 .... just as there will also be false teachers
among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies,
even denying the Master who bought them, bringing
swift destruction upon themselves.
There. Fixed it. Now it is completely understandable.
