“Hippocratic Oath”
Categories: CHILDREN, GOD, NEW TESTAMENT, RELATIONSHIPS, WITH MANKINDWith the new law trying to be passed to make doctors unable to turn down someone that wants an abortion, what are you to do if the situation comes up?
Sincerely, Doing No Harm
Dear Doing No Harm,
Do what is right in God’s eyes and forsake man’s laws (Acts 4:19-20). It is a sad fact that our modern culture does not value life. The deaths of unborn children skyrockets every year, exemplifying our ever more selfish culture that refuses to care for its weakest and most innocent members. Who are we to decide what is and isn’t life? As a society degenerates, God’s people are more and more often persecuted for their beliefs.
- Lot lost everything to flee from Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 19:29-30).
- Joseph was thrown in jail for fleeing fornication (Gen 39:12-20).
- Elijah was almost murdered by Jezebel (1 Kgs 19:1-2).
- Christ lost his life for doing good (Acts 3:14-15).
- Paul was stoned and left for dead (Acts 14:19).
If a doctor is asked to kill a child by the United States legal system, he must refuse. He serves a greater law than America, and his treasures are stored in another place (Matt 6:20).
