I am amazed, and sorry, that your need to be the holier-than-thou superior, you keep trying to judge me, and deny it.
You don't see the forest, do you? Have a nice day.
They’ve chosen to remain blind.
That’s an interesting link you provided, to back up what I’ve been saying, and negate your own claims.
In one of his sermons, he says “There is a power of God and there is a power which is of Satan.” Then he goes on to explain how easy it is to recognize the difference. He tells about some fakers who came into church pretending to be Christians, but were actually serving Satan and mocking God, like you do.
He explains that once a person is baptized in the Holy Spirit, they will follow God, not Satan. If they’re not adhering to God, then we know they don’t have the Spirit within them.
Thank you for providing a link in support of what I’ve been saying.

Other than having severe irreversible brain damage.
Is THIS God's Will? Because it seems pretty clear about food and water for the sick.
31 And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. 32 And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. 34 Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:
36 Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. 37 Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? 39 Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? 40 And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.
46 And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.
-- Matthew 25:31-46
Brain injuried DO NOT cause premature death and it should be noted that Terri was doing much better BEFORE her rehabilitation was stopped.
Also, how do you account for the brain injured people, some of whom had been in conditions worse than Terri’s and for longer periods, who DO recover? That doesn’t sound irreversible to me.
The Italian government MAY have found a technicality which could prevent Eluana's murder at least for the time being.
Thread by me.
ROME (AP) - Italy's health minister declared Sunday there were problems with the clinic hosting a woman in a hotly debated right-to-die case, as the government appeared to be trying a new tactic to keep her alive.
Minister Maurizio Sacconi also said the "La Quiete" clinic in Udine isn't the hospice or hospital facility called for by the Milan appeals court, which has ruled that Eluana Englaro's feeding tubes can be removed.
Englaro, 38, has been in a vegetative state since she was in a car accident 17 years ago. Her doctors have said her condition is irreversible. Her father won a decade-long court battle to remove her feeding tubes, saying it was her wish.
But Italy's center-right government, backed by the Vatican, has been trying to keep her alive and hopes to pass legislation this week forbidding food and water from being suspended for patients who depend on them. . .
"We will not be silent.
We are your bad conscience.
The White Rose will give you no rest."
So, you believe that Scripture prohibits the utilization of technological advances?
Thread by Salvation.
WASHINGTON, D.C., FEB. 6, 2009 (Zenit.org).- The United States has some "modest, common-sense" policies supported by pro-lifers and abortion advocates, and a U.S. bishops' official is urging Congress to protect them.
This appeal came in a Feb. 5 letter written by Cardinal Justin Rigali, chairman of the bishops' Committee for Pro-life Activities.
He noted that one of Congress' first orders of business this session is examining appropriations bills to keep federal programs funded, and in this process, the bishop warned against removing anti-abortion clauses.
Noting the widespread lack of support for the Freedom of Choice Act, he cautioned: "While an extreme proposal like FOCA would overturn hundreds of pro-life laws at once, we are equally concerned that such laws may be overturned one at a time during Congress' appropriations process."
"Lawmakers who disagree about the legal status of abortion have long agreed that Americans should not be forced by government to support or participate in abortion against their will," the cardinal added. "Efforts to coerce consciences in this way violate any possible definition of 'pro-choice,' and undermine our nations long tradition of respect for conscience and religious freedom."

The deathbots believe that it’s only acceptable to use technology for evil, like Dr. Kevorkian’s machine. Using technology to help provide basic care that God orders us to provide is considered evil by them.
Moral absolutes aren't!
God is in control, in spite of man's "technological advances". Man always wants to play be god... just ask a Mormon so you can find out how you can be one, too!
The picture does not speak a thousand words, that you posted. It shows nothing about the PERSON who is connected to those tubes. They ARE people! They DO hear, see, have responses. I watched, helpless, while a woman was starved to death. It took 4 long weeks and I was powerless to do anything to stop it. It was horrible. There is no dignity, no respect, and it is far from painfree to die from starvation and dehydration. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Your response is totally nonsensical. Does God want us to utilize advances in medicine that are moral? YES or NO?
In case someone wants to label me, let me assist you ..... a child of God who values all life at all stages.
You know what, that sounds EXACTLY like the Islamofascists; they prefer to live like it's the 7th Century, but will happily utilize the latest technology to KILL PEOPLE.
Please cite the chapter which states "thou shall hook up to a machine, so you may maintain a vegetative state, just in case I change My mind, saith the Lord...". I missed that one in my Bibles.
I am not in favor of starting the feeding tubes. Maybe your faith is in the tube (or whatever technology). I am convinced that you place your faith in the ministrations of the medical community. Maybe your faith ought better to be placed on God raising her to prove His might. For research, see: Lazarus
My faith is in the God who made me... not on the learned medical community with all it's tricks. I use doctors, and I take my meds. But, I am ready...
The details of scenes are secondary to the dialogue between Jesus and the other characters! Jesus says to Martha: "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, will live, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" And later he says to her: "Have I not told you that if you believe you will see the glory of God"(11:40)?
Whatever we can say about the Lazarus of history, he stands for us as a symbol of our resurrection destiny. If we believe in the risen Lord and live as he teaches us, we too shall see the glory of God. We too shall be raised up. That's the bottom line. "Unbind him and let him go free." Jesus would unbind us now from the fear that wraps us about death, and 'later from the reality of death itself.
WHICH medications are you willing to use? I am unaware of a single medicine, other than possibly some opiates, in current use that has been around for more than a hundred years or so.
Will you be X-rayed?
Would you use a pacemaker?
Do you use toothpaste?
Do you or anyone in you family wear glasses or contacts?
The deathbots like to pretend to be Christians, to lend credibility to their claim that God hates disabled people and wants them to be tortured to death. Does anyone actually believe their lies?
The deathbots are always willing to take care of their own health. It’s always someone else’s death they lust after. The snake worshiper won’t stop eating and drinking, taking medicine, living inside a building, covering up with warm clothing and blankets, turning the heater up to a comfortable temperature, etc. But they sure advocate depriving others of such necessities, “for their own good.”
