An Inside Job?

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.  If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.  Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written:

"It is Mine to avenge; I will repay," says the LORD.

On the contrary: 

If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.  In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

-Romans 12:17-21

Note, in the wake of the murder of infamous abortician George Tiller, on which side of the abortion divide the fear resides:

Anti-abortion leaders voiced concern Sunday that the Obama administration and other Democrats may try to capitalize on the murder of Dr. George Tiller to defuse the abortion issue in upcoming Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

Many anti-abortion groups condemned the killing of Tiller, a prominent abortion provider who was shot dead at his church in Wichita, Kansas. But they expressed concern that abortion-rights activists would use the occasion to brand the entire anti-abortion movement as extremist.

They also worried that there would now be an effort to stifle anti-abortion viewpoints during questioning of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. Her exact views on abortion aren't known, but conservatives fear she supports abortion rights.

Said the Reverend Patrick Mahoney, an anti-abortion activist: "No one should use this tragedy for political gain."

Oh, brother.  Is this not one of the most pointless scoldings ever uttered in modern American politics?  OF COURSE Red Barry and the Dems and the Obamedia are going to use this tragedy for political gain.  For them, politics IS religion, and Obama is their god. 

Not that they need it given their filibuster-proof Senate majority.  The truth is, need has nothing to do with it where these animals are concerned.  They'll use Tiller's death not to push through Judge Sotomayor, whose confirmation is a fait accompli, but to fuel public support for an anti-Christian Kristalllnacht that will legislatively reduce conservative evangelicals into second-class citizens and kneecap what has been and remains the most potent bloc of the center-right political coalition.

Indeed, the timing of the Tiller slaying is sufficiently convenient, and the reporting on the assailant sufficiently sparse, that the cynical part of my fertile brain cannot help but wonder if this might have been a frame-up, a pro-death cultist, whether a connected "operative" or an independently motivated "lone gunman," who sought to bring down blistering PR heat upon the pro-life community by posing as one of its number in "acting in its name" to "pass judgment" upon the man Randall Terry helpfully described as a "mass murderer".  There is historical precedent for such gambits, and don't think for one moment that the fascist mob the Democrat Party has degenerated into is completely historically illiterate, or not cut from at least tangentially similar cloth in its scorched-earth lust for total power.  Wouldn't have been difficult to sneak such an individual into a "church" so apostate that it would have accepted without any church discipline a man whose day job was the dismembering of unborn children past the moment of birth.

The true tragedy, though, goes beyond Tiller's death, to the fact that he has now died in his sins and thus is truly beyond redemption.  This is the purpose, the underlying theme, of the passage from Romans above.  The Christian's mission in this life is crystal clear:

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Nowhere in that passage do I see the slightest hint of carrying out unilateral gangland executions.  If the true Messiah had acted thusly, He'd have turned His disciples loose in the Garden of Gesthemane (assuming He had waited that long to do so) as sword-wielding, ass-kicking, Ninja-esqe killing machines, or simply spoken a single word and reduced the entire Roman Empire to ashes and its legions and leadership to puddles of blood.

Instead, He commanded the Apostle Peter to

"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.  Do you think I cannot call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?  But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"

Jesus Christ did not come the first time to take over the world, "....but to serve, and to give His Life as a ransom for many."  Quite unlike George Tiller's executioner.

Unless, of course, he had in mind to provide genuine American Christians with fresh, abundant opportunities to experience "the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death."  If the LORD tarries in His coming, we shall indeed do so, to the temporary benefit of Godbama and his master.

My prayer is that not even Barack Obama and his idolotrous pagan sychophants are beyond redemption.  For the God Whose nation he insists America no longer is will indeed repay all the iniquities of those who have rejected Him.  Far better to humble themselves now and be astride a white horse then, dining on roast Beast, then the unpleasant alternative to which George Tiller has been tragically condemned.

UPDATE: An inside-allowed job?
