Euthanasia literally means good death. It is also called mercy killing. In the Netherlands where euthanasia has been practiced for years, it is called deliverance. It is advocated by Dr. Kevorkian (Dr. Death) and the Hemlock Society. Recently Oregon passed the first measure in the history of the U.S. to legalize euthanasia (although it has had trouble in the courts). The Bible clearly teaches against the practice of euthanasia.
The six-day creation story as found in Genesis (along with the seventh day of rest) provides a perfect picture of the seven dispensations as generally taught by dispensationalists. Match each day of creation with the corresponding dispensation and you see some very interesting parallels.
Should the Sabbath be observed by Christians? Is Sunday worship the mark of the beast? Was it an invention of the Catholics?
Classical dispensational teaching makes a clear distinction between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven as used in the Bible.
Was the kingdom offered to Israel? Ultimately, one’s answer to this question hinges upon how strictly he defines the word offer.
