Amen!
xzin-I couldn't even fake being sorry that Tiller is dead.
Amen!
All men, Christian or not, do evil things simply because God removes His hand of grace from them leaving them to follow their own devices. Our nature is evil and left to ourselves we will produce evil fruit. If anything, Tiller and Roeder serves to show to what level we can sink if it were not for God's substaining hand.
1Pe 4:15 Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler;
There is a principle of Divine reciprocity.
Matt. 7:2, For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Ps. 109:6, Set thou a wicked man over him:
Prov. 14:32, The wicked is driven away in his wickedness:
We do not think it unusual when in the drug culture or the prison culture, each culture’s form of justice is meted out mercilessly. Why then is this no different in the culture of death?
Sometimes the judgment of God is brought about by evil acts. As some of you guys have been preaching to me for the last decade, nothing happens that isn't ordained of by God. Do you believe your own words? I have oft seen the following verse quoted theologically, but are you willing to quote from it on a practical basis? Is it applicable to this situation?
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (Isaiah 45:6-7 KJV)
If anything, Tiller and Roeder serves to show to what level we can sink if it were not for God's substaining hand.
Some people sink lower than others. There are levels of evil. I can only pray that there are levels of punishment in hell.
