I thought I read somewhere that she was not going to go through with it today.

Pray for her to unite her suffering to Christ’s suffering on the Cross.

A cure like like eating a dozen cookies and donuts with a glass of milk.

"I can’t answer on behalf of God. Only He can pass true judgment."

I agree. We should each focus on doing God's work, not God's job.

For starters is she even a Christian?

If not God won’t forgive her even if she dies a “natural” death.

She is a sharp contrast from Lauren Hill who is living every day to its fullest. NCAA has moved up their basketball schedule so she can play in one college game on Nov. 2. Her doctors give her only a few weeks.

You’re saying not being a Christian is unforgiveable? Chuckle.

Not a Christian? That doesn’t condemn you. Your sins do that all on their own.

I’m saying only those who place their faith in Jesus are saved.

I take it you disagree?

The answer (from the bible) is yes, she could be forgiven.

(Matthew 12:31)
And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

BTW, the sin that cannot be forgiven (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), is the sin of unbelief that the Son of God came to give us the gift of Salvation.

(That is scriptural too) I leave it to you to find that scripture!

Quote from the article:

And they are shamelessly exploiting terminally ill Brittany, casting her as the face of the euthanasia movement and even setting up The Brittany Maynard Fund not to benefit her family – she and her recently-wed husband are childless – but to raise money to further Compassion & Choices’ political advocacy.

She’s either a quitter or a procrastinator.

I despise both.

Then again, maybe she scripted her 15 minutes ...

“For starters is she even a Christian?

***

Growing up as a Catholic, I remember being taught that non-Catholics wouldn’t attain salvation.

I don’t belong to the Catholic Church anymore and this sanctimonious attitude is one of many reasons. We don’t know what criteria God will consider when we appear before Him for judgment. Suicide may be a sin, but is it possible God will look at our lives as a whole and put more emphasis upon the good we have done?

As a Christian I have to go with what Scripture teaches. We are all sinners. Jesus died for our sins. If I believe that and repent of my sins I will be saved. No "good works" I do will earn my way into Heaven.

So I suppose she prays “not thy will but mine be done”?

It thought the prayer was “they will not mine” rather than “my will not thine”.

I can promise one thing. If I did it a cheap easy cure for whatever I had would be discovered the next day.

Sounds like my luck. I could fall into a barrel of t.ts and come up sucking my thumb!

You’re asking a self serving but otherwise pointless question.

So for those who believe all suicide is the unforgivable sin... how does that square with those who throw themselves on a grenade to save the other members of a platoon in a war zone? Is this an “unforgivable” act?
