I will not contradict myself

New Questions 1. Similar to #7, you wake up one morning surgically attached to another person. However, this was not as a result of any agreement on your part. You were kidnapped and forcibly attached to this person. Staying attached presents no harm to you and detaching also presents no harm to you. However, detaching would kill the other person? Do you go through with the separation? No I wouldn't. If it doesn't have an harm to me than I wouldn't go through with a surgery. You never said what harm was (physical, emotional, paycheck), so I can't really answer this adaqueately. 2. Also similar to #7, however a complication to the attachment process now threatens both of your lives. If you stay attached, both of you will die. If you separate, the other person will die and you will live. Do you go through with the separation? I would not go through with operation. I instead would give my life up to the other person, so that he has more time to accept Jesus as his personal savior. 3. Similar to #10 however, the scientist puts the microchip in your brain before you even ever meet this coworker. Everything else plays as described: if you decide to kill your coworker, the scientist does nothing. If you decide not to kill your coworker, the scientist activates the microchip to force you to kill your coworker. You decide to kill your coworker without the influence of the microchip. Are you morally responsible? If I killed my cooworker without the influence of a microchip, than I am morally responsible. 4. Consider an event that no person is responsible for, like a tornado. Also consider that this tornado destroys a house and kills the family inside and that no one is responsible for that causal connection. That is, no one is responsible for the fact that the tornado destroyed the house and killed the people. Is it then logical to conclude that no one is responsible for the death of the family? No it's not. God let Satan direct that tonadoe into the family's house, and kill them. Fortunatley God puts limits on evil, as He is just. 5. Can the logical principle in #4 be generalized? That is, can we say that for any event X for which no one is responsible; and a causal connection "X causes Y" for which no one is responsible; can we say, then, that no one is responsible for Y? Someone is alays responsible for death. 6. You decide that you really don't like your coworkers, and plan to kill another. At a very formal function, you decide to lure one of your coworkers under a large crystal chandelier. The chandelier hangs by several chains that loop through eye-bolts in the ceiling, then hang down and are anchored in various places in the wall. However, it was poorly designed. The chandelier is so heavy that if any of the anchors are removed, the chandelier will pull the remaining anchors out and fall, killing whoever may be underneath. You exploit this weakness and do just that: you lure your coworker under the chandelier, remove the anchor, and watch as it falls. Unbeknownst to you, however, was the fact that, at one of the other anchors, the wood was infested with termites and, at the exact same time that you pulled your anchor, the wood around the other anchor gave way. In short: had you not pulled your anchor, the other anchor would have fell out, causing the chandelier to fall at the exact same time, killing your coworker. Are you still morally responsible for this death? Yes I am, as I intended to kill my coworker in the first place. As the Bible says, "If you do not show love to your brother, you have commited murder in your heart." 7. Do you believe you have a soul? Yes I do, and Jesus is living in it! 8. If so, is that where your identity resides? That is, if you believe you have a soul, could your body and mind be destroyed while your identity still remains intact in your soul? Yes it can. I can be physically killed, but my mind remains intact, as I will not die spiritually. 9. If not, do you believe your identity resides in your mind such that if your mind is kept alive while your body is destroyed, your identity will remain intact in your mind? I will never be dead, as I will go to heaven and life forever. But If on earth I was physiclly dead, than I could not keep intouch with my mind. 10. Is torture ever permissible? Yes it is. For example: disbelievers of Jesus will go to Heaven. That is permissable because they refused to accept God. It is their own fault.
