Spot on, IMHO.

Sometimes killing can be pro-life.

This is one of those exceptional times.

Romans 13:3-4 is very clear on what the government is supposed to do about those who do evil. Anything the liberals say about this outside of these verses is for the purpose of obfuscation and deceit. President Trump is the ruler in this case and was the revenger as a minister of God.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that doeth evil.

A couple of points:

1. Jesus did NOT allow Himself to be so much as touched by an enemy until it was His ordained time to die. On two occasions mobs came to kill him and once He simply walked right through them, apparently making Himself invisible or deluding the mob.

2. No man could kill Jesus Christ. He said it Himself when He said, “I give myself up.” I have a much longer and more complex theory about that if anyone wants to freepmail me, happy to discuss.

3. All that said, there is NO “New Testament God” vs. “Old Testament God.” Same Guy. The God of the Old Testament told the Jews to utterly eradicate cities of their enemies, including Ai and Jericho, and not even to let the animals lives.

Now, where was Jesus when God gave those orders? Check John 1:1.

So if Jesus was there, do you think He was contradicting God’s orders? I say nay nay.

It insists Jesus opposes killing anyone.

These "Christians" need to read the Book of Revelations. When Jesus returns, it won't be with lollipops and unicorns.

God gives us every chance to turn away from darkness and into His light, but ... there comes a point of no return.

These same chances were available to a monster like Soleimani. At any point during his life, if he had turned and accepted Christ, he would have been forgiven and accepted into the Kingdom.

Instead he was suddenly (and I'm sure quite surprisingly to him) ushered into hell by a hellfire missle.

The consequences of our actions are ours alone, not the Lord's. And the wages of sin are death.

Rather than focusing on the killing of Soleimani, who was killing and would continue to kill fellow humans and neighbors instead of loving them until he himself was killed, perhaps we should focus on why the Father would/will kill us all, good and bad alike.

Christians know that Jesus’ Father killed almost all of the humans He created all at once in a big flood. Why?

Not only that, most know that He will do something similar to kill off most of humanity again, but next time He will do it with fire from the sky. Yikes! Why would He do that?

And we also know that Jesus will then Judge us all and our works to determine our final dispensation/destination. Terminally fatal yikes!!

I think it’s better to act according to those Truths in our own lives each minute and to not be too judgmental when a murderer is killed so that justice may be done and peace may be restored.

Pray for his victims and pray for his soul and Drain the Swamp!
