What Is The Bible's View On Parents Refusing Life-Saving Treatments For Children?Speaker: Reverend Joseph PoonSubscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBiblePresbyterianChurchofWA?sub_confirmation=1Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/INTRODUCTION - (00:00)QUESTIONSQ1. There have been cases of parents who are mentally competent refusing to consent to either lifesaving treatments or important vaccinations for children who are too young to make decisions for themselves. In some cases, the state has insisted, based on expert medical advice, that these children be given treatments or vaccinations against their parents' wishes and has enforced this accordingly. What is the Bible's stand on this? Should parents have the final say regardless, as God has put children under the authority of parents? But in doing so, it would put the child’s life at risk. Should the state intervene and subvert parental authority for the protection of the child? As Christians, how should we think?====Question & Answer SeriesBible Presbyterian Church of WASunday 26th September 2021To view the series playlist, use this link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2kOMc1tQeIYxkMxUJPMgALFor a full list of previously covered questions, please click the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I_99pWTfq7b5fpKVKa6xft8ymA9Tlq5hgsUvhBNhvxMTo watch this video on YouTube, use this link: https://youtu.be/DBPo_ZJ_z74Subscribe to keep up to date with our weekly content releases and please leave us a positive rating if you would like to support our channel.
