That poor little girl!!!!2

I really feel for this man. If that was my daughter I can't say I would of reacted any differently. I would do everything I could to protect her and I think that is what this guy was trying to do. He didn't mean to kill the guy and he is remorseful that it ended that way. I really hope no charges are pressed against this guy.

God Bless him, the little girl and the man that was killed family.

Well said. I think the man was only defending his child and rightfully so.

Was this a christian response??

I pray for the little girl...how awful for her to have to live thru this experience. I also pray for her father's acquittal. It is very interesting to me that he is remorseful over the abusers death. I know that I would have only been satisfied with the man's death.

What do you mean a christian response? This is why I hate labels! It ws an appropriate response from a father who loved his daughter! If I walked in on some dude acting that way with my kid your darn right he would have gotten a beating and it would make me no more or no less a christian.

I am not sorry the pedophile died either. I am sure this child was not the first child this man raped. But we ccan all rest assured it was his last child that he raped.

"The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them."

...and sometimes men and their sin reach the place of judgment at the same time.


Not having a lot of sympathy for the man who died right now. God really doesn't owe any one of us space to repent. God allowed the man to be brought to judgment at that moment. Who are we to argue.

It stems from an earlier subject in which I said I would punch a pastor in the face if he was making moves on my wife. I was told it wasn't a christian response.

The fact that I am being asked this question is extremely telling on the state of the Church in the west.

Asked because of your earlier statement about "not a christian response"

So, now the entire church of the west is in a bad state of affairs??? ed!

Still no answer??

Apparently some would have us (in our christian holiness) calmly leave the room to call the police, maybe get some video evidence, let the justice system fail us...again. Then pray for the man and try to save his soul........he might have had a bad childhood ya know!! :bigfrown 2

Oh, it's his first offence at baby raping so we'll give him 5yrs with two off for good behavior.

Child molestation is a rampant problem in the U.S. ....and it's no wonder!!

 

[reba]

The creep will not harm another child..... And the court system will not need to gather evidence from the child.

We need more fathers like this one. Willing to step up to the plate and do what is needed to protect his family. We are not to sacrifice our children.

The Church in the west has been "in a bad state of affairs" for many decades. That those who call themselves Christians think it is okay to use deadly force in such an instance, applaud those that do and show no care for the abuser is simply indicative of just how bad that state has become.

So you tell us what the correct response would be in this situation since you are so sure this is the wrong one. :

 

[stovebolts]

Just to be clear Free,

God does not rejoice in the destruction of the wicked. When I look at this father, I see a man who is repulsed and is responding in rage. Such a thing should enrage a father.

The focus is not that a man was killed. The focus is on a man acting in rage from an atrocious and disturbing sexual act being performed on his 4 year old daughter. The cause of death was not premeditated, and so I do not fault the Father for responding with such a way. No parent should have to restrain themselves as they actively see their child being hurt. It is the primary role of a parent to protect their children.

Is it sad that the man died. In a way yes, but what is sadder is the horrible act that he committed on this innocent child, and more than likely the children before him. From that perspective, I have zero pity on this man. Do not mistake my lack of pity for the pedophile as one jumping up and down rejoicing that a man was killed.

What is sad Duane, is the amount of pedophiles that are sent to prison and then get released back into society to re offend. No child should have that scar, and when a child is scared because the pedophile has been released only to re offend again and again, then shame on our laws.

I do pity the pedophile, but I do not pity his actions. I despise his actions. They are atrocious. That a father acted as a father would act when confronted with that scene, then I do not pity the pedophile for being beaten to death. Considering the circumstances, his death is justified.

Answer us this Duane, how would you react if you found some man being sexually active with your 4 year old daughter? I'm really curious how you think you would have handled that situation. Moreso, why do you believe that you could restrain yourself from hitting that guy any more than the father? But what I won't accept Duane, is that you wouldn't get angry.

“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” [James 4:17 ESV] With this small bit of wisdom from Gods word, we should realize that it was sinful for the Father to kill the man in a fit of rage. <O></O>

However, we should also know by Gods wisdom given to us, by his Word, that such a response is or was to be expected; “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” [Ecclesiastes 8:11 ESV]

“When Justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to the evildoers.” [Proverbs 21:15 ESV] I find very little fault that a Christian might rejoice or find joy in righteousness being now done unto the rapist. However, we should prey for the rapist and the father and the daughter….

“I pray that the father and daughter might someday forgive the rapist for his transgressions/Sins against their family so that by the measure of their forgiveness, God too will forgive them of their transgressions/Sin against him. I pray also that the rapist, upon meeting the creator for judgment, will seek forgiveness and that God would be merciful; not counting the Sins against the daughter and Father who were his victims as they have forgiven him.”

You see, the issue with killing the rapist is that the rapist is robbed of his/her chance to repent of their Sin. Killing the rapist may have in fact condemned them to death, not only in this life, but perhaps even for the next. Why is this even a concern to us? Think of your own Sins. Think also of Paul who murdered many who sought to follow Christ. <O></O>

If the early Christians killed him because of his transgressions upon them, God would not have been able to use Paul to glorify himself as he did.

Now, I honestly do NOT know how I would react. I bet however that I would probably have killed the man myself if not severely and horrifically beat the man! And I know for a fact of the matter that, that is NOT the response that I should immediately take if I were to obey and follow Gods Will; to allow God to judge.

Yet, God knows that not one of is Good, and I pray we all continually thank and praise God for Christ Jesus because we are lost without his atonement for our own Sins. <O></O>

I wonder what some think that God will do to those who are even guilty of a much greater crime?? Yet, who today can even start to comprehand how God views all or any sin??? James 2:10 + Luke 12:47-48 For most, true love is a feeling or emotion, and not a PRINCIPLE.

And this dude caught in the act? No reading ones 'motives' but seen a wicked sinner, and he would be executed in the OT & should be executed in the NT.
(not wheat & tares growing together but blantant caught in the act open sin)

You say... '.. and it would make me no more or no less a christian.' ????
I can just not go along with what I have underlined of your post. We see this quite differently. I think that Christians prophesied in Rev. 17:1-5 & Rev. 3:16 are no better than the Numbers 16 ones of 250 princes that were famous in that congregation whose leader was Korah that said that '..seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, [and the Lord is among them.']

I doubt that we would say or think God any less God if He did not do what then took place by Him?? And our example?? See Josh. 7:12's last part of the verse!
[12] Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: [[neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you]].
[13] Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.


And as I see it, if we are not found in Eze. 9 decrying today's pigslop doing the required thing, we will not be saved. (pig/slop? see 2 Peter 2:22's Vomit) And who is responsible for the TV garbage? The Porn Shops all over the place? And even on the News ones see's women News anchors with their tops getting uncovered more day by day. And the sun Walmart ads with nearly naked beach attire? Yeah, who dare go to the beach & 'see' all of these christian ones being accepted?
