Chapter 11: God’s Eternal Character

abortion doctors. That is because of God didn’t say it. Hill could have also used the story of Jesus, the sword and the ear. But then that would not have served his purpose of rationalizing murder.

“And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus answered and said, ‘Permit even this.’ And he touched his ear and healed him.” Luke 22:50-51

The lessons are many. Several just came to me by the Spirit. First, it is God’s character to permit the death of certain people. Second, it is God’s character to discipline His people. Third, it is God’s character to protect His people. Fourth, it is only righteous zeal when it is righteous in God’s eyes!

Preplanned, premeditated murder is not righteous even if it is face to face and in the open as Paul Hill’s murder was. In the age of a covenant in which each individual will be held personally accountable to God, Paul Hill did not teach people to be personally accountable to God. If he had, he would have

focused his energies into the hearts of the mothers who willfully end the life of their own babies. For in the end analysis, abortion doctors would have no business if mothers did not want to kill their own babies.

Hill’s logic is also flawed because if “violence against the unborn” is justification for murdering the abortion doctor, it is also justification for murdering the mothers who seek to do violence against their own babies.

You’re Only Righteous If You Obey God’s Commands!

Paul Hill’s biblical rationale is also flawed. He ignores many of

God’s commandments that directly contradict his murder rationale.

Abortion is not an option for any person who claims to walk with

God. This applies to the mother, father, doctor, nurse, counselor, etc. When you walk with God, you obey Him. See chapter 18 for more discussion.
