I also understand the concepts of Heaven and Hell.

If you are convinced that Hell is your destination after death, then death is something to be feared and avoided in every way possible. Perhaps this is why you fear the death of Terri Schiavo.

So you only advocate murdering those who will go to heaven?

You wrongly state "If you are convinced that Hell is your destination after death, then death is something to be feared and avoided in every way possible. Perhaps this is why you fear the death of Terri Schiavo"

Christians do not believe they die, in the sense that the moment our immaterial nature is taken from our physical body, we are with the Lord: "to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord." Christians do not fear death.

People who do not believe that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, who don't believe that that He is the only Mediator between God and man, who don't believe that it is HIS death alone which atones for our sins, not our works, those are the ones who should be TERRIFIED of conscious suffering for eternity.

You are choosing hell for yourself when you reject God's word as you are doing. You willingly choose to continue in rebellion against God's gift of grace through Christ.

"Those who continue to do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." What things? Lying and murdering, as you are doing, are in the list.

When Jesus gazed upon death, He wept.

Terri herself is in God's grace, a true innocent. It is those who work for her death -- those who would deny food and water to a helpless, disabled woman -- who stand in danger of the judgment. Their judgment has already been pronounced. Read this.

Matthew 25...

[41] Then shall [the Lord] say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

[42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

[43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

[44] Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

[45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

[46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Dr. Kervorkian is behind bars for taking human life, and rightly so. God Almighty made us to want to live.
