Bless you. I'm sure that was a difficult time for you. I decided when the time came, if my grandfather asked, I would act to end his EOL suffering no matter what the legal consequences were. It did not come to that.

If you want to be consistent in opposing euthanasia, yes. An injury could lead to infection, which could lead to death. Why are you advocating we "play God" in one instance but oppose it in another instance?

"Stopping treatment" is called passive euthanasia.

Like in all things, it is less about understanding and more about respecting. I said to my Pastor recently that respect only matters when there is disagreement. Otherwise, you are not respecting the other person, who are respecting your own thought processes.

Nope! That's exactly what I mean. It's Black and White. Either we "play God" with everything or we do not with anything. As a kid I got severe strep throat many times. I have no doubt if not for modern medicines, I would have died then. Preventing death is playing God just as much as EOL is for...

Putting aside the CC change, abortion and euthanasia have been ethical issues since antiquity. I know I’m in the minority and reject the ‘slippery slope’ fallacy of being in favor of EOL care. Not gratuitous suicide but driven to minimize suffering. IMO, every medical treatment ‘plays God’ in...

No. It’s not about forgiveness. She did nothing to me. It’s about PREFERENCE. Men are allowed to have and act on their preferences.

Nope. The verse you cite refers to our love for Jesus - not God’s unconditional love for us … God so loved the world …

Notice how all these Sura' are a function of virtue or future tense? Not the same as unconditional love NOW, is it?

Agreed. I recently learned that nowhere in the Koran does it say Allah loves us. The Bible says without love, you have nothing. As big a difference as you can get.

I'm glad you asked what you could do. 1st, stop the nastiness. 2nd accept the explanation I already gave you; I never called Jesus a liar, only that he obviously lied. The latter is a tactic in war, which our lord obviously fought - and won; a war against evil. The former is an assessment of...

Not based on some of your replies to me. Matthew 25:40-45 Contemporary English Version 40 The king will answer, “Whenever you did it for any of my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me.” 41 Then the king will say to those on his left, “Get away from me! You are under...

Predictable.

PTL needs no context. Well done sister!

Excellent! Pithy. Memorable. And irrefutable.

Can you imagine the media response to a Republican who had such turnover?! It would be wall to wall coverage of "breaking news" lining up those who left, bestowing them with heralded victim and whistle blower status. Ubiquitous claims of "more questions," support wavering, the explanations...

Doubling down on denial. Odd that you refrain from enlightening us. That says it all.

LOL. Thanks! LOL Sad that you keep defending this evil ideology but not unexpected. I find it funny that you imply it is this noble capital-F idea but cannot defend it one little bit in that post. I tagged you because I wanted to give you the opportunity to defend the indefensible. Odd to...

Feminism is an evil ideology that goes again human nature. For men, we don't want to compete with women for it is inherenly emasculating. If we win, we get the respect of beating a girl. If we lose, we get the respect of losing to a girl. My dear wife points out that we were not made to compete...

NOTE: Jesus is nowhere in this verse.
