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).
If I see aright, the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament. It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity. The old cross slew men, the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it.
Preparation: Heat chicken broth. Cut fish fillets into 1" by 2" pieces.
Cut off root ends of spinach & thoroughly wash. Slice bamboo shoots into
paper-thin strips; add to stock as it is heating.
Using wire strainer, blanch fish pieces in boiling water for 15 seconds,
reserve. Add salt to water. Blanch spinach for 10 seconds, drain &
reserve.
When stock reaches rapid simmer (don't let it boil), add fish, spinach &
sherry. Cook for 3 minutes. Heat peanut oil in ladle over flame. Mix oil
into soup, transfer to serving bowl, & serve.
