So, what is meant by building on good ideas??

In a book I read, entitled, edgar allen, by John Neufeld ...it says, " ...God is everywhere, and you can only hope to understand Him by seeing where He is and where He isn't." Talking of his mother, "She thinks that where He isn't is often more interesting, and  tells us more about Him and His ways, than where He is."

So, there are those who attempt to improve our character ...yet, without God's guidance, how would we define improvement? 

Some times things have to grow before you can tell what they are. When I was young, we had a vegetable garden, and through experience I can now tell more about plants and seeds ...but, when I was young, it often took seeing the fruit before I really knew. 

The Bible says, "By their fruits you will know them."

Yet, when we are told the wrong things ---and sadly, the lines between right & wrong are becoming more blurred ---then it may take longer for the wrong to be revealed.  Sometimes it reaches absurd levels before people realize it, and often it has already done most of its damage.

In 1999, Jack Kevorkian was sentenced to prison.  Some called him 'Dr. Death' ...others felt he was humane.

The Hippocratic Oath includes the following:

I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.

I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.

But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.

It was not only Jack, but countless other Doctors ...many performing abortions.  Now, in other countries they are adding the perceived quality of life as one of their criteria ...to those who are already born, yet still not old enough to speak. And you will see the progression gets even worse than that. (http://evilisrealnotjustaframeofmind.blogspot.com/) ---Don't add to the 'I's ...Ignorance or beyond to ...Insanity.

Yes, medical Doctors join those who would want them to disavow their Hippocratic Oath in favor of a hypocritical one.
