...But I am also against prolonging the life of the physical body when it is against the wishes of the patient, their family and medically irresponsible.

It's easy to play God... and have all the answers.

God makes the call, but we just want to hang around (or our family wants it, selfishly, without faith!)! With modern technology, we can easily keep a body warm... but... is that what God wants? Does the ability to keep a body warm make them whole? Is it God's will we are trying to defeat?

I have a "living will", but have made my daughter assure me that I can be left to die. I know in Whom I believe, and am persuaded that He will keep me... Are you? Do you have faith in a life beyond this one? Is God sovereign?

Inquiring minds want to know!

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.

I'm confused, since when is FOOD and WATER "modern technology"?

Perhaps you should read the Bible passage I posted in #58, God describes EXACTLY what He wants.
