God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Arguments Opposing Euthanasia: 1. The Sanctity of Life – Human life, because created in the image of God, is sacred. No measure is too extreme, no cost too high, to preserve what God has made. 2. Biblical prohibition vs. life-taking – Killing the innocent is condemned in both the OT and NT. 3. Hope – Medical history is filled with examples of people thought to have incurable/terminal diseases who were later healed when medical knowledge increased. 4. The value of suffering – The Bible says that people grow and mature and deepen in their understanding of and trust in God when they endure suffering. In other words, there is a sanctifying effect in physical suffering. 5. The biblical perspective on death – Death is the final indignity, no matter what form it takes. Death is the last enemy, to be resisted, not embraced. 6. Divine healing 7. The Slippery Slope – “Euthanasia will not be restricted to the terminally ill. Rather, it will be extended to people with varying quality of life circumstances. Opponents [of active euthanasia] fear that candidates for euthanasia will include the nonterminally ill, such as people with Alzheimer's disease or other degenerative brain diseases, the severely mentally retarded, and handicapped newborns” (Rae, 173).

We are hardwired to trust in ourselves. That’s not good for us or the God-glorifying purpose for which God created us. Therefore, suffering is used to break us of self whereby we might trust more deeply in God. So God’s intent in suffering is not to pull us away from Him as many people seem to believe, but rather draw us closer to Him. And the more He strips us during affliction of our human resources and excuses and justifications and easy way outs, the more we will run to Him and cling to Him as the only thing we’ve got.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Dairy, Eggs 1 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Boiling potatoes
3 tb Butter
1/2 c Milk
1/3 c Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano, please don't substitute!)
Salt to taste
Ground pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Make mashed potatoes in the normal way--using a whisk to beat the potatoes
while adding the milk and butter a little at a time. When half the milk and
all the butter is incorporated add the grated cheese. When the cheese has
been incorporated continue adding the remaining milk until the potatoes are
fluffy. Be careful at this point as you don't want the potatoes to be
runny. When you are ready to serve you can add some hot milk. Oh yes, the
potatoes should be in the top of a double boiler while you are beating
them.
