You can wrap murder in all the lies you like, but it’s still murder to deprive a person of food and water until he/she starves and dehydrates to death. Food and water are not modern technology. Feeding tubes have been around for hundreds of years. Antibiotics are relatively modern, but that doesn’t make them evil.

Obeying God’s commandments is not playing God.

Providing food and water to someone is not selfish.

Providing clothing, bedding, and shelter to allow someone to enjoy a comfortable temperature is not evil.

God’s will is not for us to murder each other.

Leaving someone to die is not in line with God’s will.

I wonder if you really do know in whom you believe, whose will you are promoting, and who will keep you. If you truly knew, and were aware of the fact that it’s not too late, I’d like to think you’d choose to serve God. But I guess not everyone does.

I have faith in the everlasting life provided by God, not by the one who demands the blood of innocents.

Do you have one of the inquiring minds who wants to know whether or not God is sovereign? If you accept Him as your personal savior, then you’ll know, and you won’t have to ask me. Yes, God is sovereign.

One the commandments He issued to us forbids murder. He didn’t issue any commandments requiring us commit murder.

Everyone dies eventually. We don’t have to be murdered to go to Heaven.

Nice to know you are not my judge! Your spirit of discernment is lacking a little... and your zeal is prone to overwhelming God's will!

At what point is God no longer Sovereign? When does the need to keep a body warm, when the soul is looking for it's rest, become the goal? How is it compassionate to see someone lay inert for years, while you (?) hope for him/her to arise and walk? Where is the faith that reaches out and commands the body to be whole? Why is it so much easier to provide a feeding tube? Why is it murder if none is given, or if it removed to allow God's will? Oh, I forgot, you are apparently an arbiter of God's will.

Typing Scripture is easy, but testing faith requires another level of discernment! Faith without works... or lack of faith...which is worse? Gnashing of teeth changes nothing. Try sack cloth and ashes.

Read about Smith Wigglesworth and get back to me. I haven't arrived yet, but his is a pattern to emulate.

...As I look into the 12th chapter of Acts, I find that the people were praying all night for Peter to come out of prison. They had a zeal but seem to have been lacking in faith. They were to be commended for their zeal in spending their time in prayer without ceasing, but their faith, evidently, did not measure up to such a marvelous answer. Rhoda had more faith than the rest of them. When the knock came to the door, she ran to it, and the moment she heard Peter's voice, she ran back again with joy saying that Peter stood before the gate. And all the people said, “You are mad. It isn't so.” But she constantly affirmed that it was even so... -God-given Faith
