The dichotomy of life; A doctor saves lives or destroys them
A human person lies in the ER waiting for a savior dressed in white to use a scalpel to save their life. One stroke of his trained hand and the dying person walks out of the hospital cured and on their way in life.
The prognosis originally rested on an expert being available to assist or cure this ailing person who by the grace of God was able to be saved. All doctors believe in the adherence of saving lives at all costs, This is called the Hippocratic Oath. It is a contradiction of pure medical ethics to otherwise subsist in any manner that allows a willful destruction of life.
There also is a verse from Matthew where Jesus taught; “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.. Woe to the world because of things that cause such sin.” (M. 18: 6 - 7). Does this quote remind us of any current patriarchs?
Ministers, doctors, Judicial leaders and legislators, and any one to whom the guidance of moral promotion is given all have the blessings of God as long as their teaching conforms with the law of God. A doctor who violates the oath of Hippocrates, Legislators in government, ministers
In churches, and patriarchs or heads of government that teach the respect of life is not essential are part of that membership of evil-doers. They may not be the active members in securing a death sentence on the unborn. Their part becomes more heinous since they teach with authority and have twisted God’s law perpetrating evil intent upon the rest of society.
President Biden and Nancy Pelosi are the most visible patriarchs who by their outspoken permission of abortion are leading from the quote found in Matthew as Jesus pronounced the final objection of directly disobeying his teaching.
Too many modern legislators and those in medical practice have joined an evil progression of destroying human life that begins from the moment of conception and will become the end result of their own blindness to life that is sacred. What is more disturbing is that Roman Catholics to whom life is a sacred obligation are the leaders of the pack.
The scalpel in the doctor’s hand saves one life or removes another. The choice is his to promote life or willfully remove it. The authority of patriarchs is to promote the lives of the unborn or willfully allow a death sentence on helpless children.
