One of the many prophesies of the coming of Christ, when He was so brutally murdered on our behalf.
Psalm 22:6-8
"But I am a worm and not a man,
A reproach of men and despised by the people.
7 All who see me sneer at me;
They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,
8 “Commit yourself to the Lord; let Him deliver him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”
Psalm 22:11-18 "Be not far from me, for trouble is near;
For there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13 They open wide their mouth at me,
As a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You lay me [m]in the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded me;
A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all my bones.
They look, they stare at me;
18 They divide my garments among them,
And for my clothing they cast lots."
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Death with Dignity? NOT Unless God Decided
Death with Dignity? The only "death with dignity" is that in which God has decided our number of days. To usurp Him based on our faulty and selfish thinking, is evil.
It is not dignified to put someone to death because they are in an emotional state and wish they could die. Dignity is when the dying person chooses to allow God to determine their death, while those caring for her/him surround their loved one with love and kindness through the process. God has His reasons for how long we live, perhaps in the end, those who have been callous will develop a heart while the dying person will see their love for the first time.
We should never play God, when dealing with people, their timing for death is His business. He determines when anyone should go. Our job is to make them as comfortable and well attended before they leave.
There can be no peace in deliberately killing a person, those who do it must attempt to justify it all the days of their life, if they have a heart, if they have a conscience.
Today's Young People
Young people are open to anything and everything as long as it justifies removing something or someone who cramps their materialistic and pleasure oriented lifestyle.
I have seen this growing in intensity over the past 30 years. Our children's generation become enraged when they are asked to discuss anything that may be slightly uncomfortable for them.
They have been raised on self esteem, believing that no one should say anything to them other than praise and worship.
Shall we say: 2 Timothy 3:1-5!

Your Children Will Kill You
The article in the link below show us just how far our culture has progressed.
Don't be surprised if one of your children or all of them collaborating together decide one day to do away with their parents....."legally".
This mentality is going to lead to abuse of people who are considered "lesser" than others. It won't stop with just the ill people, but also with those who have a clear mind but have disabilities.
This is monstrous, evaluating people on their helplessness as though the helplessness makes them worthless.
I already know people who look down on others when they are ill. I have been treated this way by some people, when I have an ailment and speak of it, they think I am exaggerating or whining when they asked me in the first place "how I was doing."
This mentality of looking down on those who are ill is already with us and growing. Healthy young people often disdain the elderly or ill, because they lack compassion and empathy necessary to want to help them, they are a burden to those who want to "enjoy" their own lives.
It is fast coming, the desire in the younger generation to eliminate the burden of caring for others, while counting the benefits to them through inheritance.
They are Hitlers! This does not surprise me, when we lived in Portland Oregon, that state was the first to legalize "death with dignity" which really meant helping someone to die through Euthanasia. It was clear to me that the next step would be to murder those who don't want to die.
"Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death."
