Bible Question: I believe we are seeing the greatest sin ever to tempt man being formed in front of our eyes - that of taking and using the life from children to prolong the life of those already born. And this will be done for profit.

This is Stem Cell Research

Again, I believe that this is the greatest sin ever presented.

Should all Christian Churches unite and act as one to fight this sin?

Bible Answer: I believe this is a sin tempting man to reject God.

This is the sin, in which man must decide whether he believes in God and life after death, or does he extend this form of physical life through sin and at the expense of killing children.

Like every other sin, (theft, murder, and so on), there are man-made laws which say we should not do these sins, but they are still done. We cannot rely on governments to protect us from evil. We must rely upon God.

A law can be written saying not to perform cell research and a law can be written saying not to use the results in this country.

But, cell research is supported by many governments, worldwide. Cell research is supported by businesses. Cell research is supported by many people throughout the world, so that you will not be able to outlaw the process nor the results.

How is cell research combated - in exactly the way we have been taught - reject the sin. It is not our role to judge or condemn the men who commit these offenses, that is for God and we must be silent.

But, we must reject

Which means, if you are a quadrapalegic and a cure derived from cell research is handed to you, then you must reject this 'gift' in exactly the same manner in which a hungry man must reject stolen food and in the same manner in which a poor man must reject accepting stolen money.

This is the ultimate test of man's devotion to God's law - mortal physical life.

Our role as Christians is to continue to work towards the rejection of sin - no matter how tempting the reward.

Isn't this truely Satan saying - reject God, worship me and I will give you eternal life?
