I don't believe so.

Here's another. Is it immoral to end the life (kill) of a person who is in agony with no hope of recovery?

They have pain killers for that actually. Not sure why you're asking that question. If a person is non-recoverable and dying they will kill them in the hospital with a high dose of pain meds. I don't see that as evil, but I really don't know.

I do think it's a sin to end someone's life. What would you do if someone ended your life, claiming you were in agony with no hope of recovery?

I suppose I'd give Jesus a hug and ask him about that mansion he promised. ;) :)
If you were ill but had no desire to die, what is to stop someone from killing you and claiming you were in agony with no hope of recovering?

You're changing the premise of the question.
If you had a son who didn't like you, and if you had a lot of money, and if you were in pain and dying, your son could kill you to get all that money and claim you asked him to do it. That is an unintended consequence of what you are suggesting.

Most People are confused about "life".....what this means.
Most who dont understand it, think of their body as their life, but actually the Spirt is Life and the body is just the container with a heart beat.
If you end your body, you have not ended your life.
Just ask the people who went to Hell today about that fact.

Also, a better way to phrase your 2nd question is....."is it immoral to assist someone with their body's-end, if they are decided to no longer deal with a terminal medical condition that is the slow torture of their body and their MIND.

People who tend to take their life do tend to take their life because they cannot get over the issue or whatever it is that is plaguing them.

I don’t believe they go to hell for it. They are Christians you know that end up killing their selves.

But people say OH THEY WENT TO hell they killed them selves.

It is the flesh is flesh that can be too much to handle sometimes and people decide to kill themselves, but I know, or at least I have faith that God will assess them fairly and on point of examining their heart regardless of that pressure of that when they decided to take their life.

God is the giver of life and taker of it.


There’s an inside of the kingdom in and outside of the kingdom, and that is the way God has set it up.

Crying over spilt milk never helped no one, but by God people will end their life on their own terms if they so choose so.

Love while you God first,
And love others while you have the. Chance.

Also I don’t know where sin is if it has been paid for one time on the crosss.

Murder is the unauthorised taking of another's life for your reason.

We do not have the authority or the reasons to take another person's life.

In todays world there are organisation called hospices, where the terminally I'll can go for respite care and to die.
In these places they recognise that their patients are dying and there aim is to control the pain, giving the best quality of life for the patient.

You don't know what God is working with that person, and should leave them in God's hands. We don't know ourselves what God intends for us, and we should not take matters of our own life and death into our own hands.

The answer of faith is to trust that even our extreme pain will be worked for our good. It's not an easy answer, I know, but it's true.

Much love!
