1 | "Many are called, but few are chosen." | Matt 22:1 | Larry55 | 193372 | ||
Thank God. In may many episodes of depression, I took that to mean that God called me to be His son but would not choose me in the end because I am not good enough to get into heaven. Thanks for clearing that up. I feel relieved now. | ||||||
2 | being/knowing you are beautiful | Mark 12:31 | Larry55 | 192789 | ||
I choose life. What must I do? This gets confusing. I think it makes sense, but then that understanding slips away. I do not choose to stay in my sin in that I do not want to stay there. I hate sinning against God. I want to repent, but if repent means to go and sin no more, then how can I repent? I ask for God's forgiveness many, many times a day even for bad thoughts. It is not all bad because I do notice that I have faith that He does forgive me--maybe it is belief and not faith. Anyway, I feel forgiven more and more each day. Also, every time I turn my thoughts to God, He is there. He really will never leave me or let me go. This part may be wrong, but He told me about a week ago that my connection with Him inside is always open, and even my sin will not close the door. If it takes faith to please God, how do I know I have faith? How is faith different than belief? I think I have Godly sorrow. I hate sinning against God and ask forgiveness every time. I do not intend to sin ever again every time. Sometimes I can hold out longer than other times. I am so sad that I have so very, very far to go before I can have that abundant, joyful life He promises. I really do dispair of ever succeeding. Thank you for talking with me. Love, Larry |

lionheart, First.....I love you. Second.....I should never have posted here in the first place. The suicide question was awful. Also, I am hopeless. Others and now you try to help, but I will never get it. I have been trying to be a Christian for a year now and just cannot get it. Third.....I am impressed and envious that you have overcome depression with God, something I will never accomplish. Fourth.....Before now, I thought I did believe 1 John 3:1-3, but I see that I really do not. Granted, God cannot lie, but, following 3:1-3, when I read 3:4-10, my spirit drops to dispair. "Everyone who sins is breaking God's law..." I sin always. God cannot be happy with me. "But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil..." Ouch! That one hurts! "Those who have been born into God's family do not make a practice of sinning..." That must mean that I have not been born into God's family. I guess I have not been saved afterall and probably never will be. "Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God." Well, I love other believers--I love non-believers also. However, I do not live righteously. I doubt that one half of the equation will save me. I do appreciate your response as well as that of docTrinsograce. When responding, you did not know that you were wasting your time with me. I just will never get it right. I'm sorry. |

That passage has always bothered me. True, the Bible presupposes that we all have an enormouse amount of self-love. What then for those of us who hate ourselves such as myself? I have no self-esteem and am filled with self-loathing due to a lifetime of neglect and depression. Help! |

5 | If I commit suicide, can I go to heaven? | Job | Larry55 | 192553 | ||
I am so sorry everyone. Please. Please forgive me. My mood swings take my up and down the scale many times a day. I need to learn to keep my stupid mouth shut during the down swings. I am very sorry. You are all so wonderful to reach out to me so quickly. God bless your all. |

6 | If I commit suicide, can I go to heaven? | Job | Larry55 | 192549 | ||
What it takes for someone to go to Heaven. If I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, one with the Father, that He died for my sins, and if I confess this with my mouth, then I go to heaven. |

7 | If I commit suicide, can I go to heaven? | Job | Larry55 | 192525 | ||
Thank you all. I have Bipolar Disorder and have not had a high for many months but the depression has been killing me, so to speak. If only it would. I was baptized with the Holy Spirit just two weeks ago. Since then, I have felt God's presence strong when I talk with Him. I allways cry when I am with Him. Am I allowed to talk with you guys or must I ask questions? Should I go to the forum? I do not have three dimensional friends now. I am just beginning a divorce after thirty years and deathly afraid of being alone, so I inappropriately disclose on the internet. I'm sorry for that. I just trust everyone, especially God's children like you guys. I have tried to kill myself about five times since my breakdown three years ago. I am afraid I will try again after being alone for six months. |

I did search "Suicide" and found no specific answer, only examples. A simple "yes" or "no" followed by an explanation is all I need. | ||||||
