mitchhunt, This is not a question easily addressed in a forum like this. I would encourage you to speak to a Pastor at your local church for proper guidance. They should be able to help you much better then someone on this forum could. God bless, Steve |

Steve: May I kindly, and with the deepest of respect suggest this was not a good answer. ALWAYS assune a person asking a question like this is asking for themself. You might well be the last contact they will make before they take their life. Most people who are serious about ending their life have a window of time when they will do it. If we reach then is that window with understanding, hope, encouragement, and assurance of Scripture there is a good chance we can help them in a time like this. If a pastor, or Social worker, police, or hotline heras this than we are required by law to get help as fast and best we can. Any advice we offer as persons on this Forum can not put Lockman in any danger, or you for that matter. To just pass a person like this on would be good only after offering the above and Scripture. If we can not offer someone some hope in Jesus Christ and under such circumstances than we need to rethink what our responsibility is as a believe in Christ. We of all people have the most to offer, Jesus! I hope you can see a different side of this perhaps a cry or screem for help this might well have been. Alwasy treat this as if this person is right up to the point of going into eternity at any second. Blessing, and I offer my deepest regards. justme |

justme, I can certainly appreciate your opinion and response and I do, sir, take it kindly as I believe you meant it to be. Just so happens, I feel as strongly about my position on the matter as you do yours. First let me assure you in matters of importance like suicide my concern is not for myself nor Lockman nor any other then the person who may be in trouble. Second, your view of just passing a person off shows a lack of understanding my position. It is not passing the person off, it is encouraging the person to seek help from someone equipped to help them. This text based forum in my opinion is far from that place. Many may mean well, but I've seen all to often on this text based forum a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding in what people read into a post. Not to mention some of the absolute nonsense that some will post. Brother, consider the response you and Cody Mac gave. If this person is so depressed they are considering harming themselves, do you really think they are capable of wading through so much on their own without proper guidance? I think not personally. Actually, I could see how such a response could be harmful in that the person could become even more depressed and frustrated not understanding all the information. Let's face it, when a person reaches such a point, confusion is the last thing they need! I would encourage all to be wise enough to understand their limitations in matters such as these and the limitations of the format in which we communicate in this forum. And let's not forget... The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16) Steve |

Steve: I understand your point. I don't want to labor the point, and coure a problem. But, Hebrews 4:12 is a Scriptyre that I understand to be a point that above anything I say, the Scriptures are able to touch the deepest pit that anyone could ever find themselves in. Perhaps you might consider having a Scripture in mind should such a situation present it's self again. Thanks for at least regarding my point. justme |

justme, Hebrews 4:12 is one of my favorite verses. That along with Isaiah 55:11 are two verses that have taught me to have great confidence in the Power of God's word. So I'm in agreement with you on that point!!! By the way, see my original post again and note the reference verse I used. I did have a scripture in mind for such an occasion :-) By the way, I did regard your post as you said and understand your heart on the matter and thank God for the brethren and your love and concern for others!!!
