Theology

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer discusses how blood is viewed in different sources, such as the Old Testament and New Testament. The writer notes that it is clear in the Bible that God detests the shedding of innocent blood. This paper includes the writer's personal view of aspects such as euthanasia and abortion. The writer argues that we should use our lives to glorify God and that in many matters one should let the Ultimate Judge who is God settle the matters on His own.

From the Paper:

"Crimes are prevalent nowadays because of avarice. Man's insatiable thirst for wealth and his desire to want more may make him do things inconceivable. Criminals like robbers kill innocent people because of their love for money. Some also kill out of fear. The rulers in the Old Testament killed their rivals. They feared to be toppled down and ousted. They feared the loss of their power."
"Personally, I agree with the Biblical texts. I think that shedding of innocent blood is utterly inhumane and contrary to what God originally designed man to do. Man is created in the image and likeness of God; hence, we should be godly in all our actions, and we should not shed innocent blood. In everything we do, we should bear in mind that we radiate God's image in us."
