Christian Beliefs on the Beginning and End of Life
All Christians believe that life is special to God and this means that
all Christians have certain guidelines to follow about the beginning
and end of life. Although this is true Christians are unpredictable
and might change their beliefs in an unusual situation, such as, if
the Christian would suffer devastating consequences of an act such as
birth; the pregnant woman might consider abortion.
Some Christians preach the word of god to many people, but is it being
forced on them? No, because it is his or her choice to listen, you
can’t force someone to absorb what you are saying, unless you are the
leader of a cult in which you “brain wash” the person you are
preaching to. Christians accept that everyone has the right to a
point of view, which means that if someone doesn’t believe in
Christianity then they will appreciate the persons point of view and
wont try to turn them into Christians.
However, if the non-Christians thoughts turn into actions then it’s a
different matter at hand. It is no longer wrong to change the person’s
thoughts but it is a duty of all Christians to help someone become a
better person through religion. This is what is done for criminals;
part of their punishment is to be cleansed of bad thoughts.
Christians feel very strongly about issues like abortion and
euthanasia and they are always trying to get people to stand with them
in protest. When what Christians believe to be wrong becomes an action
they regard it to be unjust. Many Christians consider abortion to be
wrong and if it is allowed in Britain then it is like the British
government is condoning cruelty and injustice to the human race. The
Christian people of Britain also worry about euthanasia becoming
legal, if this happened Christians would consider it a grave mistake.
Christians are given a commission (MK 16: 15- 18) to practice what
they preach and they strongly believe in the message of the good news
