Bible Note: One comment I would like to make, based on both my own personal struggles, and being involved in the struggles of others. People who commit suicide are for the most part, suffering from a mental illness, such as Clinical Depression. They may not in many cases be capable of making reasoned, objective decisions. The person who is suicidally depressed cannot see any other solution. Suicide for people like this is not "a choice" or a "cop out" - it is a foregone conclusion. If you have never experienced this for yourself (and I pray you have not and never will), you may have difficulty comprehending that, but it is true nonetheless. Do you truly believe that God in His mercy would look on such a one as this, and condemn them to Hell? Rather, I believe, He would take this wounded spirit and restore to the glory and spiritual health it is capable of. Yours in Christ, Jim D. |
