This statement by the Puritans helps indicate that any wrong doing against the Church was considered

They use intellectual virtue by their wisdom of the Bible and what they believe God asked them to do. Plato believed that a just life is superior to an unjust, intrinsically and instrumentally.

King believed that even though humans are wired to do evil and harm, God is trying to stop the evil from spreading. King said that if you have love for God and have trust and loyalty with him then God would guide you and keep you away from evil. “The Christian doctrine of love, operating

Incarnational Union soteriology conveys the holy work of our savior, Jesus Christ, through him becoming human to save the world from sin. God the Father begot the Son and then sent him to save the Lord 's people from themselves. The glorious Son had to become human, so that all humans could become God and be in eternal Union with the Trinity. He also had to die for our sins to show obedience to God, thus setting an example for all. Jesus is the ultimate example of a person, human and divine because as the following states, "There is no greater love than to lay down one 's life for one 's friends," (John 15:13, New Living Translation).

Furthermore, euthanasia intrudes upon God’s planned cycle of life and death. For Hindus, euthanasia infringes upon several fundamental ideas, like ahimsa, karma, and dharma. According to Christianity, life is a gift from God, created in his image, and imbued with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, euthanasia is an offense against God’s creation and the Holy Spirit. Christian scripture provides textual evidence in support of this perspective.

Morality has been identified with adherence to godliness and divine, immorality with sin, and the moral law with the command of God so that the moral life is seen as a direct and personal relationship with the ultimate one. It is taught that to act immorally is to disobey God. Whether it is a Shiite Muslim fighting a holy war in the name of Allah, a Hindu killing an innocent animal as a sacrifice to bring rain, or the Christian giving to charity in the name of Christ, religion has changed the idea of morality as indiscriminate from religion.
