Michael still has refused them their parental rights.

Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Exodus 20:12 ~ "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you."

Hi, W. I'm wondering if you have been following Terri's situation for a while to know all that has unfolded over time. If so, I'm wondering why you chose this aspect (guardianship to ethically-challenged HINO vs to her family) out of all the aspects of Terri's case. Why this scripture, when there are so many that apply here? What of all the wrongs (including the mysterious physical assault on Mar29) committed against Terri? Are we to turn our backs?

They didn't have feeding tubes, or all the other machinery back in the day. In the days of the old testament, when you killed someone....they stayed dead. Michael Schiavo is commiting adultery, so all bets are off.

gee, he wants to kill his wife! Do you think he should be allowed to kill her? Thou Shalt Not Kill

Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Exodus 20:12 ~ "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you."

Not applicable in a case of marriage. Terri's husband has no biblical mandate for honoring his relatives-in-law.

If the first passage is true then her parents would also be his parents making the second passage applicable to him.
If they are truly made one flesh then shouldn't they have to honor each others parents as their own?
