Physically Healthy 28 year old Scheduled her own Death | Here's The Point
Zoraya ter Beek is 28 years old and from the Netherlands. She is physically healthy but she has decided to be euthanized in May and to be cremated. But why? She claims that she once had ambitions of being a career psychiatrist but did not finish school. She suffers from depression, autism, and a personality disorder, but she has still managed to be in a relationship with her boyfriend who is a 40-year-old IT programmer, who she claims to also love.
Here's the point: As Christians, we worship a God who not only created us but created us for His glory. We must recognize that from birth, every man and woman, created in the image of God also belongs to God. As Christians, we also recognize a double responsibility, not only from creation, but Christ has purchased and redeemed us by His blood on the cross.
We have been bought with a price, so we must honor and glorify God with our bodies.
Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. {That's a mistranslation. What it originally said was, Thou shalt commit no murder.
Murder= cold blood criminal homicide. Suicide = self murder. } I won't condemn anyone who kills themself. Someone, something drove them to it.
God will forgive anyone for anything, if they ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus to be their Savior with their last breath.
Jack Kevorkian was beaten into the ground (figuratively) for advocating for voluntary euthanasia.
Did you ever see the movie Soylent Green? In that movie the only thing there was to eat was some substance called Soylent Green. The earth was so overpopulated that they recycled the dead and made it into Soylent Green. Also in that movie were Euthanization Centers, where people could go to humanely be "put to sleep". I'll bet if there were Euthanization Centers in every major city, the lines of people would stretch around the block.
The victims of rape and the other assorted dregs of society, who have nothing to live for, would want to put an end their never ending misery.
The boyfriend is supporting her in her desire to die. Bizarre.
Amen!
