Gorilla V. Child
Is there really a contest? An option? A hesitation?
My heart breaks for any of those questions to be answered with a yes.
Take all politics out of the situation. Take away any personal feelings on the gorilla, the zoo, the zoo management, the shooter, the mother, the child, the fence, the captivity, or even the weather. Take all that away and instead, sit a minute or two on the spiritual side of the ordeal.
God created man.
God created animal.
God created man after His own image.
God created animal.
God created a way for man to be saved.
God created animal.
God created man’s eternal choice.
God created animal.
If ever there was a situation when a child/man/woman was in life-threatening danger from an animal, the answer is ALWAYS child/man/woman.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. ~Genesis 1:27
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
~Romans 6:23
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~John 3:16
(whoever not whatever)
Not long, but there ya go.
