I'm sure everyone has heard that saying throughout the years but it sort of stuck out to me when hearing about the murder of abortionist, Dr. Tiller. I am completely against abortion. I believe it is murder and there is no excuse for doing it. However, murdering someone who commits that murder is just as wrong!
I do think that Dr. Tiller reaped what he sowed. When someone does something that God considers sin, eventually they will reap a harvest from it and it won't be pleasant. The Bible says the wages of sin is death and God doesn't change His mind. God set the law of sowing and reaping in motion when He created the earth and it's as true today as ever and for those who continually murder innocent children in the name of convenience and irresponsibly get pregnant and use this as a manner of birth control, they will reap a harvest from it that will catch up to them.
Again, I do not think that killing Dr. Tiller was the right thing to do. I think the man who did it will pay a heavy price for it because he was just as wrong as Dr. Tiller. I feel for Dr. Tiller's family more than anything because that had to be a horrible thing to witness for them.
A lot of people in this think that because they have made things legal that it makes it okay. Well, God doesn't see things that way and He isn't going to change His mind about it whether it's abortion, homosexuality, murder, pedophilia, or anything else the Bible calls sin. We have been given free will and we can do what we choose but eventually it will catch up to us even if we believe otherwise. God is not mocked, what a man (or woman) sows, that will he or she also reap.

It is kind of ironic that someone would be against murder through abortion would have no problem committing murder themselves. This man certainly did not help his own cause by committing murder.
so are you saying everytime something bad happens to us we are reaping what we sow? You might want to think about this one.
Bryan, you are putting words in my mouth. I didn't say that. There is an enemy out there named Satan and he does create problems and trials for all of us that have nothing to do with things we've done. But if we consistently violate God's laws on something, we will reap a harvest from it.
Sorry Kimberly, but I dont think God has any hand whatsoever in sins against man. By saying Dr. Tiller "reaped what he sowed", it gives me the impression that you think God took Tiller out of this world via the sin of another man's murdering him. I dont go for that. Satan is responsible for the murderers actions.
Here's the comment I left on another member's article about this and it's exactly how I feel.....
I was watching more about this on the news. It seemed he had been asked to leave at least one previous church however, was welcomed into a Luthern church. The same one that he was murdered in.... This was not the first attempt to stop him or the first attempt on his life either. He was described as standing proud and defiant. Although I do NOT condone the act of taking another's life, ANY'S life and the innocent unborn especially, I still do have my doubts though as to who exactly took this man out of commission...... God will only be mocked so long before he may decide to take matters into his own hands to get other's attention and protect his own and I've personally seen it happen on more than one occasions...
What about all the innocent families that had just been sitting in church listening to a sermon? They've now all been terrorized and traumatized. Their children will have nightmares for YEARS, and some may require extensive couseling. If you believe that this guy got what was coming to him, then what did the bystanders do to deserve to be witnesses to it?
Elizabeth, I already said that killing the man was wrong and I'm sorry that the people who witnessed it did so. And, I don't agree that their children will have nightmares for years because I believe that the people around them will reassure them and pray for them.
And, I didn't say he got what he deserved. You said that. I said he reaped being murdered for being a murderer. If you had ever seen a real abortion and know how a baby is tortured in those last moments, you would know that he didn't get what he deserved or he would have been tortured and caused all the pain he caused those babies. The fact that his life ended quickly was a much better ending than what he did to countless babies over the years. Abortion is a slow torture for an infant and is excruciatingly painful and the baby screams as it is killed. That's a monstrous thing to do to a baby so I'm not sorry that he won't be around to do that any longer. That doesn't mean I wanted him dead but I'm glad that a few less babies will be murdered now.
Also, this man didn't do "average" abortions. These were what's known as "Medically Necessary". For example, I had an Aunt who was 7 months or so pregnant when the fetus died. No heart beat, no movement, dead and rotting, she had the beging signs of sepsis. However, her body didn't go into labor the way it should have. She and my uncle were living on an Army base and the doctor was a Catholic. He refused to remoe the rotting corpse, because, even though it was dead, he STILL considered it "against God's will". Then he refused to refer her to a doctor off of the base to perform the procedure, because, again, it was "against God's will". My uncle had to go to the Commanding Officer to get special leave and FORCE the doctor to let him take his wife, so that she wouldn't die too.
When people talk about things like "God's Will" or "God will only be mocked for so long" they are presuming to KNOW God's thoughts, and last time I checked that wasn't possible.
What happened to your aunt is horrible and that's not an abortion, Elizabeth! If the baby was dead, then the baby should have been removed. Abortion is a live child not a dead one. Of course, the doctor should have removed the dead baby because the body can emit chemicals that can kill the woman carrying the baby.
I'm not presuming to know God's will. God wrote the Bible via the Holy Spirit through men to tell us His will. If you choose not to believe that God wrote the Bible, that's your choice but I do believe it and will continue to do so.
You're right, Kimberly. Two wrongs don't make a right. And, we do reap what we sow.
this is so sad
Medically Necessary? That's not what I am reading. He was an unapologetic specialist in late-term procedures. His website claimed "more experience in late abortion services over 24 weeks than anyone else practicing in the Western Hemisphere, Europe and Australia." Medically Necessary? His website further noted "Kansas law allows for post-viability abortion procedures when continuing the pregnancy is detrimental to the pregnant woman's health" Sadly, this was a medical term that was stretched to apply to almost any circumstance. In March, he was acquitted on 19 misdemeanor charges of failing to follow state law in getting a second opinion. George Tiller made himself a target like no other, for anti-abortion extremists.
God has nothing to do with this at all! It is the fanatical so-called christian that killed him, 2nd trimester or 300th, it is wrong!
Of course it's wrong! No ifs ands or buts about it! Murder in ANY form and for ANY reason is wrong to my thinking. For you to say God had nothing to do with this holds less weight than I saying I wonder if he did? The fact of the matter is that none of us knows God's mind.... Period.....
Have a great gather day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for posting to sparealine.gather.com
