It means if god gives a gift like life, only he can take it away.
Today people are too concerned with their own lives and how to make it better. If a baby or a terminally ill person will get in the way of their lives they would rather kill them rather than finding them a place in there life. A Christian will do things a lot different, if they don’t know what to do in a situation like a teenage pregnancy all they have to do is use the bible as a guide.
In the bible it says, “ man was made in the image of god”. This means we are superior to all other beings on this planet, we have the responsibility to look after each other no matter how physically or mentally infirm they are. No human being on this planet is better than the next, the unborn, the handicapped and the old are all equal in gods eyes.
Humans are different than all other beings on this planet. God gave us free will, the ability to love and superior intelligence to all other forms of life on this planet. With our intelligence we should easily be able to live by gods rules that he has set for us. (Exodus 20) The sixth commandment “ thou shall not kill “ surely applies to abortion and euthanasia because man is ending someone’s life. They are disobeying god and putting them on the same level as god.
In Jeremiah 1-5 it says “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” the angel Gabriel told Mary that god had a plan for the baby she was going to have. ” He will be great and will be called the son of the most high.” God has a plan for each of us before we are born, abortion and euthanasia is going against gods plan.
In the New Testament Jesus told us how we should treat people “ Love thy neighbour as yourself.” Jesus loved everyone, babies, the disabled and the poor. Jesus never actually spoke of abortion and euthanasia but he continually set examples of how we should treat each other, like when he cured the blind and helped the man with a withered hand.
In St Paul’s letter to the Corinthians 3 v16-17 he tells the Christians “surely you know you are Gods temple and that God’s spirit lives in you, so if anyone destroys God’s temple, god will destroy him. It means if you kill you are sinning against god and as a punishment you deserve to be destroyed by God.
