1 | Extension of original topic? | Matt 27:5 | tmjt21 | 125654 | ||
Thank you for sharing that Emmaus. I do not have a lot of knowledge about teaching and beliefs in the Catholic Church and it is good to read some. I'm a little more wiser. I guess now I need to find out where they came up with that and whether or not it is discussed in the Bible. Thanx again! me |

2 | Bible's view on suicide? | Matt 27:5 | tmjt21 | 125608 | ||
Justme, Thanx for your response. And I do believe there are two sides to every coin, just like there are more than likely always going to be atleast two different points of view. I was not praising JCrichton's response as being the one and only answer and that it is 100 percent true. I was thanking him for taking the time to be so in depth with his answer and taking the time to respond so fully. Just like I will thank you for taking the time also. Just a little information on myself, I am a teacher and deal with this kind of issue on a regular basis. Not often is it that I can come to the child with Biblical context, nor do I think it is very often the right choice. We need to come at them with love and understanding at meet them at their level. I have been in the depths many times and know that God was working inside of me b/c I have no idea how I did not committ suicide. But those days are in the past and my life is solely for the will of God. Before i go into my response I do want you to know that I am just in conversation with a friend about this topic, I do not know someone right now that has told me they are thinking of suicide. But in reply to your response, I am not sure I understand what you are saying. To me it sounds like if a Christian decides to committ suicide that they are going to heaven, Jesus is just going to be "a little more unhappy" with us. That is kinda giving us a free exit from the world, we just might not have as many treasures in heaven. Am i not suppose to be seaking and trusting God more when I am in the pits that He is at work in my life and it is all going to work out according to His will? Am i understanding you the right way? That it is okay because I am down and out and under a lot of emotional stress that I can end my life and enter Heaven's gates and spend eternity with the Holy One? What Christian doesn't want to leave this world and get to Heaven? I am SO ready to go! But of course I believe I am called by God to do mighty things for His Kingdom before i go "home". So that is the focus of my life. Thanx again for taking the time. me |
