“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God,
for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.'” Romans
12:19
“We forget that man stands alone before an ultimate authority and
that anyone who lays violent hands on man here is infringing eternal law and
taking upon himself superhuman authority which will eventually crush him.”
(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
History is not on the side of Planned Parenthood, just as history was
not on the side of the Third Reich,
and the Gulag, and the Armenian genocide. Tyrants will fall. History
has proven this. Justice will prevail.
It is not our place to bomb abortion clinics, to burn them, or, as
happened in my hometown of Wichita, KS., murder abortion providers in their churches.
Vengeance is God’s.
Bonhoeffer speaks truth when he says the, “Superhuman authority…
will eventually crush him.” Under the weight of convincing a population they
have the right to choose who can live and who can die, Planned Parenthood will
fall under the crushing weight of true justice.
By no means is this a post to persuade anyone from speaking out
against Planned Parenthood. Rather this is a post to both have pity and speak
warning while speaking out.
Vengeance is God’s and either real people fall under his eternal
just wrath, or real people receive God’s forgiving mercy in Jesus.
Yes,
fight for the abolishment of abortion with all your being. But do not wish
God’s vengeance on those murdering and then selling a baby and his/her parts. Never wish
damnation on anyone.
Language that speaks of Planned Parenthood workers being below human
is precisely the same logic being used to determine what lives matter and what
lives don’t. People are people and are made in the image of God whether they’re
in the womb or work at Planned Parenthood.
Our goal is to abolish abortion Christianly.
The
goal to see the
institution abolished, and the people within the institution redeemed.
