1 | As a believer can I commit suicide. | Matt 18:12 | stjohn | 199316 | ||
Hello LJ, You wrote, "You cannot commit suicide and still get into heaven." (sic) Can you please give us chapter and verse where it says in the bible that we cannot go to Heaven if we commit suicide? We should be very careful not to make statements that scripture does not support. We are here to study the Bible, not give out advice, and especially in areas that should be left up to pastors and professionals. Suicide is a very dangerous area to meddle in without some serious training. I hope you don't think I'm picking on you, I'd probably say the same to just about anyone. You also wrote "suicide is a form of judging yourself for wrong doing." (sis) Suicide is committed for a verity of reasons and It's maybe a little irresponsible to make a blanket statement like that. Some people commit suicide because of a medical disorder or disease. Do you think God judges someone for being sick? May I please refer you Matt 18:12 can you tell me what you think it means please? God bless John |

2 | As a believer can I commit suicide. | Matt 18:12 | LJ777 | 199317 | ||
I appreciate your concern. It is not my desire to misinterpret scripture, I was just trying to help someone who felt discouraged and, from what it sounded like to me, alone. I've been there. I know what it's like. I noticed that no one had responded to the person who wrote the original note, and all I was trying to do was love my neighbor. Pertaining to the scripture I refrenced, the idea that I was trying to convey was that no matter how far we feel or get from God, He will leave those "99" behind to find the one that is lost. It's a scripture that has helped me get through some hard times. If I have erred than I apologize, but I didn't want the person who wrote the note to be alone while they were struggling with such a hard place. | ||||||

God bless your heart, LJ! And a warm welcome! :-) Sorry you saw us leaving someone hanging like that, that's pretty bad form at the forum. If I may point to verse again, if we look at the one who has wandered away and become lost. We can see that He, (The Good Shepherd) Goes and gets that sheep of His. I think we can say safely that His blood is sufficient to cover completely, all sin for His sheep, past, present, and future! Mark 3:28, John 17:9, John 17:24, John 18:9. God bless John |
