An Le Si

i was reading the church bulletin and pastor Issac's opening address was on the controversial issue of euthanasia- an le si, in chinese.
According to him, there are two sides of people.
One, is the secular humanistic worldview, this side is the side of evolution, supporter of the big bang theory.As a product of evolution, death is just a natural process for men on this earth. There is just life, and death, no god. The last line strucks me the most: man is the cause of the world's problem, man also has the solution to these worldly problems.
The other is the biblical worldview, where it teaches that there is a God that created men. death is the result of our rebellion against him, and after we die, our soul will rise up to heaven and face judgement, to be accountable for all our sinful deeds.
i personally feel that there's an additional 'species' of people. other than the two that pastor mentioned, there's also one i think, its called the free-thinker type. He/she doesn't care about how the world came, how we are going to die, id there life after death, the free-thinker type is only concern about now. how to solve the problems i face today, right now. Tommorrow is just the future, yesterday was the past, i'll forget it. One may think that this type of people would be the most carefree, however, i beg to differ. in fact, i pity them. When they day of judgement come, they won't know what hit them. haha i think you've guessed it yes, i belong to the second category of people:) haha i'm proud to say that I'M A CHRISTIAN.

oki, linking these 3 catergories of people to euthanasia.
the first catergory may be on the side of human rights. we, human, have the right over our own body, to die is our choice, we have the right to administer euthanasia ourselves.

for the second catergory-- that's me. pastor issac says to think biblically, though the Bible didn't mention anything about euthanasia-probably, technology wasn't that advance. haha, however we need and must remember that that every human body have an eternal soul, and that we have only ONE LIVING, ALMIGHTY GOD. Hence,the Bible teaches us that our creator-God created us, hence only HE have the power to give us life, or take away our life. We do not have a choice, our future, present, everything, is in his hands. Our lives are in his hands. Job 1:21 the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD!

haha, for the last one.. well..all i have to say is that maybe they are the ones against euthanasia, well maybe because they don't like the idea of dying at all, haha maybe.

well, the Bible also emphasis on the sanctity of life-this can be seen from one of the ten commandments-Thou shalt not kill exodus 20:13. haha so euthanasia, well, let's just say that this topic is govern by beliefs, if you fall into any of the three catergories(only can choose one-they cannot co-exist), well then you will have a different set of beliefs. yup

tommorrow's the day, haha i told my dad to be prepared for the worse-31points(c6 x 5 + 1) haha well, just hope for the best and look towards the future with GOD keading and in our hearts:)

God bless!!!
