Christians Tread Carefully

Here is another warning regarding the Living Will and what our position on it should be, as Christians. ~ Flip

Christians Tread Carefully
by Jo Scott

“A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Proverbs 12:10

Christians, any legislation that ends in, “... and then you can kill a person” is immoral. Supporting a bill that says it's legal to kill a person if they have signed a document that states that they have agreed to be put to death is wrong. It's sin and a lie from the very depths of hell. Since when are Christians jumping on the assisted suicide bandwagon? Terri Shaivo should not be put to death because she is a living person, created in the image of God. Man has no right, no jurisdiction, nor mandate from God to put an innocent person to death. In God's eyes it's murder whether someone agrees to be murdered or not.

We must be careful not to put ourselves in a position that not only contradicts God's Word, but that will endanger the lives of countless others. Christians are the only beacons of light that can affect this world for Jesus. If we loose sight of Biblical truth to save Terri's life, all will be lost. Not only will Christians find themselves without credibility on issues of assisted suicide we will have unwittingly condoned murder. Terri's life is in danger right now and we must do every thing in our power to save her, but framing iniquity by law is sin and never a viable solution. Please let us proclaim the truth of God's word in faith and know that He will prevail.
