A great question was asked and then it received an excellent answer.....not from me. I really enjoy the WTT group. Here is the question and the answer:
Question:
Choosing quality of life over quantity Of life,Can we?
Answer:
Absolutely, as long as you're not implying it's ok to commit suicide, assisted or otherwise.
As for the present day idolatry of physical health and fitness, it's not a biblical concern. God requires we use self-control (temperance/moderation) in the enjoyment of all things in life not inherently sinful, but He's not at all concerned if you eat red meat, prefer the fattier portions of meat, like lots of dairy, and enjoy generous second helpings, etc.
Some people have got the idea that God would rather us live five or ten weary years longer than we can effectively do so at the expense of enjoying His bounty. Not true.
Be wise. Exercise self-control. Be a good steward of your health. Don't be a health nut. Five extra years of mortality isn't a biblical requirement.
