Another type of Christian teaching which can be used to describe the effects of Euthanasia is another saying which is mentioned In the bible ‘God made man In his own image’ Genesis 7:27 The actual message of this saying is that God wants us to live in his way which does not mean sinning and killing other people. God created us for living a good life and not for wasting or destroying lives for no good reason.
‘Rather be glad that you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, so that you maybe full of joy when his glory revealed’ Peter 4:13 this is also a good saying which is mentioned in the bible because it says that everyone should be glad to have life and should not waste it. This saying can also be linked to the saying that god did not create lives to be wasted. The second section of this saying says that ‘you may be full of joy when his glory is revealed ‘this may mean that everyone has there right time to die and when this comes all his glory will be revealed.
‘As you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me’ Matthew 25:40
this saying is a good one for compulsory euthanasia as somebody may kill someone and the person who died may have not wanted to die at that specific time or have a slower death. This saying called also means that the killer may have killed someone else and they are about to kill another person.
‘Don’t you know that you yourselves are god’s temple and that god’s spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys Gods temple, God will destroy him, for Gods temple is saved and you are that temple’ Corinthians 3:16-17 This is quite a good example from the bible again because it is quite long and descriptive and gives the picture that gods spirit lives inside of us. Also what they are trying to tell us in this example is that if anybody kills someone for no good reason, God will destroy there temple inside of them which is there life.
Finally hopefully these points should persuade most individuals that euthanasia is wrong and there are many consequences which can be faced when euthanasia is committed. People should also learn that it is not only the bible that has sayings which say killing and euthanasia is wrong but there are also discussions about euthanasia and how wrong it is.
