Subject: Can one who commits suicide be saved? |
Bible Note: Heir: Perhaps, others won't come forth with a response to that they have not been to a point of suicide, but I will. I have lived with serious illness for many years. Our four children (all grown now) with a father that was limited in my involvement with their activites. At one point our last daughter while a Sr. in high school, a teacher thought I was her grandfather. My family has seen me in the hospital many times, and wondered if I would die or not. There was a time when I was so depressed and things felt really bleak. But when we rely on feelings can fall into the pit of depression. Christians are not exempt from depression, and there are many causes for depression such as medicines, and blood chemistry. Romans 8 goes into all the things thak can not stop the Love of God from us. Yes there was a time I became that depressed that I was very close to taking myself home. In a lighter note, I wonder if we Christians really knew what being with Jesus was like, would we spend so much effort to keep ourselves alive? I challenge anyone to read Psalm 139 and then feel so depressed or helpless, or hopeless. Often are the times I have read this chapter so many times. I do wonder why the subject of suicide if so important to you? Have you had someone close tou end their life, and perhaps that has effected you as well? Often what we bring to the surface is what we have burrued deep inside. I would like to hear more about this from you. Blessings Heir. Justme |
