Why is one killing any more moral than another? (in your scenario) I cannot advocate the purposeful taking of human life.

Shane my friend check and see if your Bible contains the last ten verses of Matthew Chapter 5. Jesus showed us a better way. Resist not evil and yes it's context fits here.

Again I ask what difference does it make if what Tiller did was ethical or not? This thread isn't about Tiller and his actions it is about Roeder and his. He took a gun and shot an unarmed man who was presenting no threat to anyone at the time and shot him to death.

Actually I asked if Roeder was commanded by God to take Tiller's life. Since he has not claimed this, I think it is safe to assume that it didn't happen. Again I ask was Roeder commanded by God? Different cultures Can you prove that the American Revolution was mandated by God? You mean other...

No, what is hypocrisy is defending a man who killed because killing is wrong. There is no difference between what Scott Roeder did and what Dr. Tiller did. It doesn't take guts to do what Scott Roeder did. What takes guts is daily talking to pregnant young women and assisting them in seeing...

Indeed they still are in effect. Now what exactly did Scott Roeder do?

That is actually what she wrote can you read? She wrote that he served because it was mandatory. Mandatory means it was required.

A few questions and comments I do not recall Roeder claiming that God directly told him to kill Tiller. Can anyone provide such a quote? Shane do you claim that the U.S. is not a lawful, legitimate authority for the Christian? Most importantly I have been a part of the Pro-life movement...

Understand I am not Roman Catholic but Roman Catholics have "foot washing" every Holy Thursday. I have no clue about the Orthodox. As for the real presence; Jesus himself said to eat His flesh and drink His blood.

Except I was thinking sacramentally. Please reread my answers.

I don't think anyone is defending Dr. Tiller. I know I'm not. However a murder is a murder. Not one of those murdered children (yes I am very much pro-life) were any more valuable than was Dr. Tiller. Most of this discussion at least recently was upon whether the Catholic Church approves of...

Well that's a good point but was LaconicStudent not aware of this portion of Scripture? If he was but made his post anyway then it would make his post disingenuous at best.

Did he really have to? This isn't a formal debate after all and he was referring to one of the most well known and most quoted portions of Scripture.

I'm sorry PreachersWife2004 but I respond to each post as I read it. The multiquote function is too confusing for me. If it is a necessity I'll refrain from posting so much if that would help.

Perhaps that would be true if you were making logical arguments, but so far you have not.

It would seem so but I would rather she simply tell us herself.

Jesus is God, I thought that you a catechized Catholic would know that.

Let me repeat this, I have a Master of Arts degree in Theology from a Dominican University. I do know more about Roman Catholic teachings than most Catholics.

The Pope isn't the only source of authority in the Roman Catholic Church.

So why is Scott Roeder not a murderer?
