“Thou shalt not kill”, no?
I love it when leftists tell me what God and Jesus think.
Funny how they distort the language, calling suicide “dignified” and expecting everyone to just agree.
I believe in miracles. So for me, there is never “no hope”. I’ll die fighting (depending on the potential impact to my immediate family).
Mine will not be a “selfish” decision, one way or another.
A Huff Po article about Jesus and Dying with dignity?

Pass.
I don’t care whether people choose when they shuffle off this mortal coil, but -as I’ve noted before - a bullet to the brainpan would be quicker, cheaper, and have far less risk of you lying there, gasping out your life for 15 plus minutes as in a couple of botched executions.
Our lives are not our own. God controls them, period. Therefore we do not kill the weak and the innocent.
Two huge omissions/problems with Ms. Brandt’s article:
1. Anything from scripture to substantiate her argument
2. Invoking Jesus while failing to recognize that he too faced a terminal condition that was certain to be agonizing and torturous for Him. It even caused Jesus to beseech God to spare Him from it. God did not do that, and Jesus did not take an “easy way” out with the rationale that he was going to die anyway.
She can opine however she wants to as a Christian, but if she is going to invoke Christ’s thoughts they should be grounded in something more than what appears to be wishful thinking.
"I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10.
I have an honest question...is there anything in the Bible that directly condemns suicide, or is that just church dogma?
A really poor article.
Consists almost entirely of claims that other people think differently and their opinions should be respected. With no attempt to show why those alternative opinions are right.
Alternative opinions shouldn’t be respected because they’re different but because they are right or at least have valid points.
I won’t read the entire article because I refuse to give the liberal trash at huffpoo the hits, however I will state that we watched my Mother’s husband die for three weeks last year. He was a devout christian and it was excruciating for us all watching him completely shut down. But brave for some woman to choose to kill herself? No, brave was the actions of my 80 year old mother as she sat by her husbands bedside for three weeks - never leaving, never asking for anything, talking to him, stroking his head, praying for peace for him and no pain. Watching her husband of almost 40 years slowly die. THAT is bravery.
Who decided that Cindi speaks for YHvH ?

Huffington Post. The bible for the left.
they cite it like bible verses on FB and other places.
lining up of another cup of cool aid....
it is good to know the foes ways.
As I recall, Jesus was a Guy into healing rather than killing people. He even raised them from the dead... I think human life was a tad more important to Him than to any knuckle dragging liberal on earth.
the differences are in the kind of action. A person who is on an artificial and extraordinary means to preserve life that would end normally, without a certain hope of recovery, it would be ok in this case to turn off the machine.
This is not the same kind of action as that of taking poison pills, or overdosing on medication because you experience discomfort.
