Is Mercy Killing Ok? by Legendary(m): 1:02am On Sep 13, 2007
Euthanasia, the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable disease or in an irreversible coma. Most religions hold the view that God alone has the sole rights over a man's life. So is euthanasia aka mercy killing ok? Where is the place of miracles? At what point is the disease declared incurable or the coma irreversible?
Re: Is Mercy Killing Ok? by MisterMan(m): 1:15pm On Sep 14, 2007
I do with my whole heart. This is mercy killing for God's sake. A man that is brain dead cannot come back to life. I feel the pain should be minimised.
Re: Is Mercy Killing Ok? by KAG: 12:56pm On Sep 19, 2007
Yes, it's okay.
Re: Is Mercy Killing Ok? by ssRhino: 1:24pm On Sep 19, 2007
A man brain dead wont feel no pain.

Poster, i wish i cld contribute but i cant, cos this is surely a hard thread, however, i pray that i will never be in that situation, however, if i ever do, i pray to God to give me wisdom to handle it.

Well said Rhino ! ! !
Re: Is Mercy Killing Ok? by analyt82(f): 2:52pm On Sep 19, 2007
I do believe that it is in God's hands, on who dies and who lives, but this is a hard thread for me.  sad A couple of years ago my mother pasted. She died in Hospice (at home) Care on 3 to 6 months to live. I remember reading some paperwork that was on her dresser about being on life suppport and needing her consent on weather or not to pull the plug. I would have pulled the plug b/c I know my mom wouldn't have wanted us to see her suffer and die more slowly than she would have. Yes, it is contradictory, but I would have. cry

Wrote about the topic when i took english 1302 during summer, iTS REALLy hard to fall on anyside of the debate. One can argue that life should be sustained to the end no matter what, but we cant also ignore the fact that umbearable pain and suffering are faced by terminaly ill patients , will u allow a family memeber to go through pain and suffering during the course of a ternimal illness or rather end his or her life? ,
Its all about being ethically wrong or right,

SHALOM!

Legendary:
Euthanasia, the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable disease or in an irreversible coma.

EUTHANASIA DOES NOT IMPLY PAINLESS.

It is killing: period.

The fools who door it have NO IDEA what they just sent those Souls into!

They were TORN IN SUNDER, and FED TO DEVILS.

[See my Blog: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?]

.... MATTHEW 18:1-14.

AT the same time came the Disciples unto Jesus, saying,
"Who is the Greatest in the
Kingdom of Heaven?"
2. And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3. And said,
"Verily I say unto you,

'EXCEPT YE BE CONVERTED,
AND BECOME AS
LITTLE CHILDREN,
YE SHALL NOT ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'

4. "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5. "And whoso shall receive one such little child in my Name receiveth me.
6. "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for
him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7. "Woe unto the world because of offences! for
it must needs be that offences come; but woe
to that man by whom the offence cometh!
8. "Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is
better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two
feet to be cast into Everlasting Fire.
9. "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into Hell Fire.
10. "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you,

'THAT IN HEAVEN
THEIR ANGELS DO ALWAYS
BEHOLD THE FACE
OF MY FATHER
WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.'

11. "For the Son of Man is come to save that which was Lost.
12. "How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13. "And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you,
'He rejoiceth more
of that sheep,
than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.'
14. "Even so it is not the Will of your Father Which is in Heaven, that one of these little ones should perish."

THE WILFUL ARROGANCE OF THE VICTIM ANS THE MURDERER BOTH LED THEM TO THIS SITIATION.

Most religions hold the view that God alone has the sole rights over a man's life. So is euthanasia aka mercy killing ok?[/quote

What is wrong with you, that you couldn't read THE BIBLE?

[quote]Where is the place of miracles?

What sort of foolish question is that?

. LUKE 7:19-23.

19. And John calling (unto him) two of his Disciples sent (them) to Jesus, saying,
"Art thou he that should come, or look we for another?"
20. When the men were come unto him, they said,
"John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying,
'Art thou he that should come? Or look we for another?' "
21. And in that same hour he cured many of (their) infirmities, and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many (that were) blind he gave sight.
22. Then Jesus answering said unto them,
"Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how THE BLIND SEE, THE LAME WALK, THE LEPERS are CLEANSED, THE DEAF HEAR, THE DEAD are RAISED, to THE POOR The GOSPEL is Preached.
23. "And blessed is (he), whosoever shall not be offended in me."

. JOHN 14:1-12.

"LET not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2. "In my Father's House there are Mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
3. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4. "And whither I go ye know, and The Way ye know."
5. Thomas saith unto him,
"Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know The Way?"
6. Jesus saith unto him,
"I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man cometh unto The Father, but by me.
7. "If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him."
8. Philip saith unto him,
"Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us."
9. Jesus saith unto him,
"Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then,
:Shew us the Father?'
10. "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11. "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12. "Verily, verily, I say unto you,
'He that believeth on me,
the works that I do
shall he do also;
and greater works
than these shall he do
because I go unto my Father.' "

REAL CHRISTIANS, WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF YAHSHUA, AND FOLLOW HIS TEACHINGS, HAVE THE POWER TO HEAL ANYTHIING.

At what point is the disease declared incurable or the coma irreversible?

WHEN THE MONEY RUNS OUT.
Re: Is Mercy Killing Ok? by oaroloye(m): 12:08am On Nov 02, 2016
SHALOM!

MisterMan:
I do with my whole heart. This is mercy killing for God's sake.

That is not "MERCY," but "FINAL BETRAYAL!"

. LUKE 10:17-37.

17. And the seventy
returned again with joy,
saying,
"Lord, even the Devils
are subject unto us
through thy Name."
18. And he said unto them,
"I beheld Satan as lightning
fall from Heaven.
19. "Behold, I give unto you
Power to tread
on Serpents and Scorpions, and over all
The Power of the Enemy:
and Nothing
shall by Any Means
hurt you.
20. "Notwithstanding in this
rejoice not,
that the spirits
are subject unto you;
but rather rejoice,
because your Names
are written in Heaven."
21. In that hour
Jesus rejoiced in spirit,
and said,
"I thank thee,
O Father,
Lord of Heaven and Earth,
that Thou hast hid
these Things
from the Wise and Prudent,
and hast revealed them
unto Babes:
even so, Father;
for so it seemed Good
in Thy Sight.
22. "All Things
are delivered to me
of my Father:
and no man knoweth
who The Son is,
but The Father;
and who The Father is,
but The Son,
and he to whom
The Son will reveal Him."
23. And he turned him
unto his Disciples,
and said privately,
"Blessed are the eyes
which see the Things
that ye see:
24. "For I tell you,


'THAT MANY PROPHETS AND KINGS
HAVE DESIRED TO SEE
THOSE THINGS WHICH YE SEE,
AND HAVE NOT SEEN THEM;
AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGS
WHICH YE HEAR,
AND HAVE NOT HEARD THEM.' "


25. And, behold, a certain lawyer
stood up,
and tempted him,
saying,
"Master, what shall I do
to inherit Eternal Life?"
26. He said unto him,
"What is written in The Law?
How readest thou?"
27. And he answering said,


" 'THOU SHALT LOVE
THE LORD THY GOD
WITH ALL THY HEART,
AND WITH ALL THY SOUL,
AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH,
AND WITH ALL THY MIND;
AND THY NEIGHBOUR
AS THYSELF.' "


28. And he said unto him,
"Thou hast answered right:
this do,
and thou shalt live."
29. But he,
willing to justify himself,
said unto Jesus,
"And who is my Neighbour?"
30. And Jesus answering said,
"A certain man
went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho,
and fell among thieves,
which stripped him
of his raiment,
and wounded him,
and departed,
leaving him half dead.
31. "And by chance
there came down
a certain Priest that way:
and when he saw him,
he passed by on the other side.
32. "And likewise a Levite,
when he was at the place,
came and looked on him,
and passed by
on the other side.
33. "But a certain Samaritan,
as he journeyed,
came where he was:
and when he saw him,
he had Compassion on him,
34. "And went to him,
and bound up his wounds,
pouring in oil and wine,
and set him
on his own beast,
and brought him to an inn,
and took care of him.
35. "And on the morrow
when he departed,
he took out two pence,
and gave them to the host,
and said unto him,


'TAKE CARE OF HIM;
AND WHATSOEVER
THOU SPENDEST MORE,
WHEN I COME AGAIN,
I WILL REPAY THEE.'


36. "Which now of these three,
thinkest thou,
was Neighbour unto him
that fell among the thieves?"
37. And he said,
"He that shewed Mercy on him." Then said Jesus unto him,
"Go, and do thou likewise."


THE DEVIL BEAT SOMEONE TO WITHIN AN INCH OF THEIR LIFE- AND WHAT DO YOU DO?

You decide to VIOLATE "THOU SHALT NOT KILL?"

. EXODUS 20:1-21.

AND God Spake all these Words, Saying,
2. "I (am) The LORD thy God, Which have brought thee out of The Land of Egypt, out of The House of Bondage.

3. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

4. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness (of any thing) that (is) in the Earth beneath, or that (is) in the Water under the Earth:
5. "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I The LORD thy God (am) a Jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the third and fourth (generation) of them that HATE ME.
6. "And shewing Mercy unto thousands of them which LOVE ME, AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."

7. "Thou shalt not take The Name of The LORD thy God in vain; for The LORD will not hold him guiltless that falleth His Name in vain.

8. "Remember The Sabbath Day, to keep It Holy.
9. "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10. "But the seventh day (is) THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: (in It) thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that (is) within thy gates:
11. "For (in) six days The LORD made Heaven and Earth, the Sea, and all that in them (is), and rested the seventh day: wherefore The LORD Blessed the seventh day, and Hallowed It.

12. "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the Land which The LORD thy God giveth thee.

13. "Thou shalt not Kill.

14. "Thou shalt not commit Adultery.

15. "Thou shalt not Steal.

16. "Thou shalt not bear False Witness against thy Neighbour.

17. "Thou shalt not covet thy Neighbour's House,
Thou shalt not covet thy Neighbour's Wife,
nor his Manservant,
nor his Maidservant,
nor his Ox,
nor his Ass,
NOR ANY THING
THAT IS THY NEIGHBOUR'S."

18. And all the people saw the Thunderings, and the Lightning's, and the Noise of the Trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw (it), they removed, and stood afar off.
19. And they said unto Moses,
"Speak thou unto us, and we will hear:
but let not God Speak with us,
lest we die."
20. And Moses said unto the people,
"Fear not:
for God is come to prove you,
and that His Fear
may be before your faces,
that ye Sin not."
21. And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the Thick Darkness where God (was).


IF YOU WERE THERE WITH THOSE PISSING THEMSELVES AND SHITTING THEMSELVES, WHEN GOD DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN TO PRONOUNCE THE COMMANDMENTS, WOULD YOU HAVE THE GUTS TO DARE SAY:

"Let's ignore what GOD COMMANDED US- and let's just do what WE WANT!"?

A man that is brain dead cannot come back to life.

But look at YOU- you're doing fine!

(Well... close enough.)

. LUKE 7:19-23.

19. And John calling (unto him) two of his Disciples sent (them) to Jesus, saying,
"Art thou he that should come, or look we for another?"
20. When the men were come unto him, they said,
"John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying,
'Art thou he that should come? Or look we for another?' "
21. And in that same hour he cured many of (their) infirmities, and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many (that were) blind he gave sight.
22. Then Jesus answering said unto them,
"Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how THE BLIND SEE, THE LAME WALK, THE LEPERS are CLEANSED, THE DEAF HEAR, THE DEAD are RAISED, to THE POOR The GOSPEL is Preached.
23. "And blessed is (he), whosoever shall not be offended in me."


THE POWER OF THE NAME OF YAHSHUA CAN RAISE THE DEAD, AND CAN HEAL ANYTHING.

You can stop lying, and pretending to have Love Yahshua and Believed in God this whole time, now.

I feel the pain should be minimised.

Oh- let's forget The Bible! We can follow YOUR FEELINGS!

How did YAHSHUA COMMAND us to MINIMIZE PAIN? By committing MURDER?

. JOHN 14:12-18.

12. "Verily, verily, I say unto you,

'HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME,
THE WORKS THAT I DO
SHALL HE DO ALSO;'


and greater (Works) than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13. "And whatsoever ye shall ask The Father in my Name, that will I do, that The Father may be Glorified in the Son.
14. "If ye shall ask any thing in my Name, I will do (it).
15. "If ye love me, keep my Commandments.
16. "And I will pray The Father, and He will give you Another Comforter, that HE may abide with you FOR EVER;
17. "(Even) The Spirit of Truth; Whom the World cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18. "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."

oaroloye ,sir your long replies are unnecessary. It puts readers off.

What have you learned from the "SHORT REPLIES?"

NOTHING!

You are talking about MURDERING PEOPLE!

Human Beings!

POW! Like THAT!

A FEW DECADES BEFORE I WAS BORN, THEY STARTED THIS NONSENSE IN GERMANY!

They surely started with the COMATOSE.

Then they moved on to those who were wide awake!

People who survived POLIO!

Paralytics!

Ended up with people on the WRONG RELIGION!

People in the "WRONG COUNTRY!"

It's called EUGENICS, you BLOCKHEADS!

The OYINBO ATHESTS you fools worship KILLED PEOPLE for having the WRONG SKIN COLOUR, and the WRONG SIZE OF JAW (sic)!

MY REPLIES ARE NOT LONG- MY REFERENCES ARE LONG!

You are all FOOLS to be talking about The Laws of GOD without knowing HIS DICTATES on the topic.

YAHSHUA IS NOT MERELY SOME LEGEND WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE EXISTED- "BUT WE CAN NEVER KNOW FOR SURE, BECAUSE PEOPLE LIE, Y'KNOW?"

YAHSHUA SAID that if we believe what he said and did then WE CAN DO THOSE THINGS TOO!

That will put YOU off, because YOU WANT to KILL the defenseless, and then DIE, for KILLING OTHERS- by action or inaction!

Others like you will be equally "PUT OFF."

This is what The Bible calls "THE CHAFF BLOWING AWAY!"

Of what possible USE are those who do not value Teachings like MINE?

But those who have the CONTROL, DISCIPLINE, FORBEARANCE, PATIENCE, WILL, and TOLERANCE OF COMMAND are like GOLD and JEWELS!

THOSE are whom I write for- not the DOGS and the PIGS.
