I agree that Christians believe that life is up to them as God gave us
a conscience and free will. The church teaches that;
‘… all people can be forgiven and given a free start.’
This is a perfect example what Christians, even if they make wrong
decisions can be forgiven such as their beliefs about life. Also;
‘… God has mapped out our lives even before conception.’
God therefore if he has mapped out our lives he will know what we
believe about life. Many Christians believe that life is a gift and it
has dignity.
They believe that life is dignified if they live a normal, healthy and
meaningful life.
However when this principal is denied or when belief in the existence
of God declines, human life is no longer regarded as sacred. The
dignity of human life is undermined.
In James 2: 1-9: ‘Respect for all people.’
In this letter James explains you must respect all people no matter
what decision they make.
People who receive abortions or believe in Euthanasia as they believe
they have the right to ask and go through with it.
But however, I must disagree as the church teaches that;
‘Life must be protected with the utmost care…’
This explains Christian’s dedication and motivation to keep the
sanctity of life alive and living among God’s people. Also the church
teaches that;
‘God is the creator of life. He gives and takes it away… Each life is
sacred because only God knows when it has run its course.’
This statement verifies that Christians must do the will of God as
they are his voice, doing his will when asked.
I believe that people should be able to make up their own choices
