Murder is Sin - including euthanasia 'Mercy death'

 
This could the be second sin recorded in the Bible after the fall of man in the garden of Eden. Cain murdered his younger brother Abel (Genesis 4). Out of jealousy, which is another sin, Cain found murder to be the best answer to his problem of jealousy. This is a clear indication that the devil gives alternative solutions to problems and if you are not stable in your mind, you may go for such ungodly solutions.



I know that murder is widely accepted as sin but there is a debate on euthanasia 'Mercy death'. It is sin because it is killing people and not letting them die naturally. I understand that this is not normally an easy situation but we should know this one thing that when God speaks, we should obey. The Bible has many verses that emphasizes on murder as an abominable deed. The 10 Commandments written for the children of Israel records murder as well.

New Testament Perspective

Murder is not only literal but Jesus equals it to anger against a brother without a cause. Watch therefore that you do not murder a brother through anger.
