Virtually all of this philosophical difference can be resolved by acknowledging a sovereign God who steers events, even the things that the very devil endeavors to do, as He wants. This is how Tiller’s death by bullet can be poetic justice and Roeder’s squeezing of the trigger an abomination, at the very same time.
Can’t argue with you there. I’m just wary of those who would claim to act in God’s place to take life.
