Michael Schiavo is going to cremate Terri so that no medical autopsy can be performed as her family wishes because they believe Michael Schiavo is the reason she ended up the way she did...[url=http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/3/26/73839.shtml]link[/url]

John 14:25-27 25 "I have spoken these things to you while I remain with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you. 27 "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful. The word of God is inspired by God as you said:1Jo 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.Now as it is inspired by God in requires that the spirit of God interpret it for us for us and teach us ALL things. Our mind is carnal and can't understand the things of the spirit and so spiritual things need spiritual discernment. 2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation.
This is not "theology influenced by intellectuals". This is the Bible making very simple statements.
You tell me to "seek the Holy Spirit to teach me". That teaching begins first with the scriptures. I have a very hard time even taking one step towards your brand of theology if you can't point me towards ANY scripture in the Bible where it even remotely implies we are to seek the Holy Spirit's guidance before helping a burdened brother or sister.

Well we could all debate this until Christ's return and dig up every scripture to justify our personal opinions, but bottom line I personally feel is that God is in control and her death "if this is what God chooses" will not be in vain and I feel it will be used as an example in all the other cases in which people are in this situation and my help keep someone else alive. I don't know what God's intentions are as his ways are not our ways we can't even begin to comprehend why he does what he does all we can hope and pray is we might be here to see the outcome and if not maybe we can ask him when we get to heaven.

God has not moved me to pray for her but to speak on this. See if I prayed for her it would do no good because God already has people He has assigned to that cause already so my extra input doesn't help, it takes away from what I SHOULD be doing. see what I mean.
All these things are not coming from my head, perhaps that's what makes them difficult even for me at times. When things come from God himself via the spirit there is an unmistakable gravity they have. God has been directing me this whole time because someone somewhere on S.I. or beyond needed this, I also needed it. Perhaps it was you or someone else, I don't know. God just said speak forth as I instruct you and that's what I've been doing.
I am trying really hard to understand how it has been so difficult to offer one solitary prayer for a defensless woman who is being starved to death in Florida. Indeed you have spent more time debating with us because we ARE praying for her and we are raising awareness. If you look back over your posts, your very first one was antagonistic against the very first post which was that someone asked us to pray for her. I'm having a very difficult time understanding your motive. I mean, why make a comment at all? All of your posts have been about defending yourself for why you're not going to offer a prayer for her because you are so burdened by all of your other burdens. Sounds like the spirit of selfishness to me...Or maybe you don't believe what is happening to Terri is actually murder?
In your long response about the Holy Spirtit you have provided absoloutely no evidence that we as Christians are to await the Holy Spirit's guidance before we pray for a burdened brother or sister. What you have done is prove that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all Truth of knowledge about Christ. When Luke writes the Gospel of Luke, he doesn't say "the Holy Spirit led me to write this..." No. Luke says:
Luk 1:3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
So, Luke wrote the Gospel of Luke not because he was necessarily led by the Holy Spirit, but because it "seemed good". Now, when Luke sat down to write the Gospel of Luke, the Holy Spirit guided him in rememberence and all Truth about the events that took place and about Jesus
Ok we can agree to disagree. God BlessMatt
