One vital matter absent from the ‘assisted dying’ debate!

Latest – MPs narrowly back legalising assisted dying in England and Wales by 23 votes

Also a Free Presbyterian Church statement – THE PINCER MOVEMENT AGAINST HUMAN LIFE

While MPs have voted in favour of the ‘ASSISTED DYING’ bill, it will still have to pass the House of Lords before it can become law.

House of Commons

In any report of the debate that I have seen, I did not read of anyone mentioning the most vital of all factors as the matter was debated in Parliament!

Where is the one, ‘assisted’ in the ending of their life, going to?

It is not a feature of modern religion the preach that there is a HELL awaiting those who die without personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Saviour stated this matter most plainly.

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him,” John 3:36.

To take one’s own life, whether it be legalised to do so or not, is very much contrary to God’s Law.

There is a penalty for defying and disobeying the Word of God.

Judas, the most infamous of suicides, undoubtedly went immediately to a lost eternity. Of him Christ said: “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled,” John 17:12.

Heed Christ’s Word

“Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me,” Luke 10:13-16.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels,” Mark 8:36-38.

Blind

Were people aware of the reality, the most terrible reality of hell, they would not use the time that remains to them to murder themselves, but rather, like the thief on the cross, seek pardon and saving mercy from the Saviour.

“And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise,” Luke 23:39-43.

The Psalmist is correct: “Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful,” Psalm 116:5.

That man’s last minute repentance resulted in him dying with the assuring words of Christ echoing in his ears! “To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

One famous individual whose name we will omit, issued the following statement after the vote: ‘Your courage and compassion, reliving painful memories from your own lives, and battling to protect others from experiencing the same agony, have helped bring about this hugely important change in the law. Congratulations and well done. Your brave voices have been heard at last.’

It is heart-breaking to see the  illusory hope of escaping pain when, in truth, they are but ushering themselves into the eternal pain of everlasting damnation!

Those legislators who have ignored and disregarded the Law of God and legalised ‘self murder’, will face a terrible harvest under God’s wrath.

They will also have to endure the eternal curses of those they persuaded to take their own lives, only to discover for ever and ever the dreadful folly they have committed, even as it is prophesied of the Antichrist’s reception in hell!

(See Isaiah 14:4-27.)

Baby killing sanctioned by Parliament

Nothing indicates the morality of the majority of the members of the Westminster Parliament in 2025 more clearly than the BBC headline of June 17th :—

MPs vote to decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales

‘Precious Life’, the largest pro-life group in Northern Ireland, in response to this decision, ran the headline:

Precious Life Condemns MPs Who Backed Extreme Abortion Law: “Unfit for Office”

Their report stated:

‘Precious Life has condemned the 379MPs who voted (17 June) in favour of an extreme amendment (NC1) to decriminalise abortion through the Crime and Policing Bill —calling their actions shameful and insisting they are not fit to hold public office.

This vote is a disgrace. These MPs have turned their backs on the most vulnerable members of our society — our unborn children. They must resign!

This barbaric legislation will allow the killing of babies in the womb who are older than 24 weeks, by “Do-It-Yourself” abortions, for any reason, right up to the moment of birth. (more…)

Ignorance, arrogance and utter folly displayed by fools in the Church of Ireland

While totally abhorring the actions and words of the group picture below, and their followers and supporters, one cannot but feel distress for them in the light of God’s Holy Word which they so blithely and blatantly defy!

Matty Zaradich of the Community of St Laurence, Fr Kevin O’Brien acting chair of Changing Attitude Irelamd, (sic) Bishop Bonnie Perry, Dean Dermot Dunne and Mark Bowyer former chair of CAI.

The ‘smug smiles’ will fade one day when they face the Holy God Whose law they despise!

God’s Law states very plainly: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination,” Leviticus 18:22.

Furthermore, it reveals the consequences for those who defy this law.

Hear and heed the words of the Saviour:

“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed,” Luke 17:28-30.

“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)” 2 Peter 2:4-8.

“And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire,” Jude 1:6-7.
