Would You Let Them Die?

It would take a really twisted individual to tell their followers that technology to save lives was evil and would send them or their children to Hell. I would never believe such a thing in the first place, because it could not be true. This would be a false religion and the leader a false prophet, so therefore using the technology would have no bearing a person's destination.

I would not let my child die. I couldn't do it no matter what. I'd make a deal with the devil my soul for my child's and I'd kick in my husbands too.

I just don't' understand how healing your child could ever be bad. I would think that if you were religious that you would believe that you would go to hell for killing your child.

Actually the question is simple...I would save my child. Despite everything and anything I would seek whatever medical help they needed to save them. I can't imagine that there would be a situation where my actions would influence another persons final destination but if so...so be it. My child would be a gift from God and therefore I'd do whatever is necessary to protect their life. Personally, concerning the original post about the parents allowing the child to die...I think the parents were blinded by religion and selfish in their beliefs to allow their child to die rather than save her life. When the saw that religion and prayer weren't helping her they should have put their own beliefs aside and do what was necessary to save her. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

That would be a tough question, except for one thing. If you are convinced, as you say, of this fact then it must be based on your religious belief. I don't know of any religion that would hold a child responsible for his/her parents actions or decisions. So, I guess I'm saying that I would choose to save the life of my child and face the judgement of that decision myself.

I would chose heaven now. I am convinced that this life is only temporary, and the things we endure and trust in while we are on this planet, will surely pass away. I continuously give my children to the Lord for afe keeping. Everytime they walk to the store, or ride their bikes to a friends house, I imagine the worst happening, getting struck by a car or kidnapped. I'm not saying I ask for these things, but I worry about them. I give them into my father's habds for protection and guidance. If it is His will to take them from then I ask for peace and understanding and eventual healing. I am confident that I will be reunited with them someday. I'd rather them be peaceful and hapy, and get to watch over me and their siblings they leave behind. Than live a life of regret knowing I chose their destiny.

Now I admit I don't know a great deal about their particular faith and who would be blamed if the parents did this. In other words would the parents go to hell for their actions while the child wouldn't or would all three? Also is it just one sin alone that condemns them no matter how much they might do otherwise? That does make a difference. For myself I would save the child. I could not sit back and watch them die. If everything else done in my life and the child's isn't enough to outweigh that one sin then so be it. I would have to do what I believed was morally right and if my God cannot understand then that is his fault not mine. If I have the power to save a life I would have to do it especially when it's my own child's.

Anything to save my daughter I would do. Decision on heaven or hell will come after. God knows who he'll bring up there. I would never sacrifice the life of my child for anything in the world not even religion would stop me from saving her.

Yes, heaven now.

I can't let my child die. No I dont thing so. I prefer to use tecnology to save my children's life.

You are so bad! I don't know that any of us without actually having to make that decision could answer truthfully. If it were a matter of my soul, I would say let me die now, but as we all know when it comes to our children we see things differently. I am going to say I would let them go on to heaven, because I don't want to see anyone perish in hell. Having said that though, someone better have some dang good evidence to show me.

no tolet someone die is a sin in itself no never and you would not go to hell for saving someones life. only sinners go to hell and a child is in no way a sinner. I could and would not kill my child as one of the ten commandents is thous shalt not kill.

That I think would be one of the hardest decisions I would ever have to make. My first knee jerk reaction would be I would do anything to save my child. But to condem them to a life in hell I just don't know. I guess that I would have to believe that my God would not sentence my child to hell because I was trying to save there life.
