Would you trust Dr. Jack Kevorkian to give you an aspirin?
My guess would be a resounding "no." This guy seems too interested in death. However, no matter the opinion, Kevorkian, famous for hastening the disease-afflicted into the portals of eternity, will face the judgment seat of God.
Some may see "Dr. Death" as a hero for helping the terminally ill.
In reality, this "hero" to some is a creep with a morbid fascination in controlling the destinies of those souls who have no idea of the horrific fates that lie before them because they ignorantly placed their souls in the grip of a probably atheistic doctor without making amends with their creator.
It is clear that Kevorkian, released from prison not long ago, played God in assisting patients to commit suicide. Of course, to the decadent and irreverent, that is only natural; playing God seems perfectly natural to arrogant Americans who routinely foist the concepts of narcissism and self-aggrandizement.
It should be abundantly clear to people that through his actions, Kevorkian showed that he was self-centeredly trying to magnify himself, and furthermore, Kevorkian did not care for these patients; indeed, he did not know any of them personally.
Rather, in reality, he probably simply enjoyed playing God by mastering the fates of the terminally ill.
Since these patients chose suicide by doctor as a means of escape from their sufferings, one can assume that they were probably not Christian since the Bible states very clearly in I Corinthians 6:19 that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and in I Corinthians 3:17 it says, "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."
These patients were obviously ignorant of the Bible, and did not know that only God has the authority to choose when anyone dies. Psalm 139:16 indicates the final authority of God because it says, "…in Your book, all the days of my life were written…"
The crafty, atheistic Kevorkian took full advantage of the patients' ignorance of God, the Bible and their desperation. Of course, on the surface, to the average humanistic philosopher/atheist who is basically a good person, it appears that Kevorkian is a misunderstood savior, much like Jesus, simply trying to relieve the misery of the hopelessly ill.
