There's another thread about this topic Suicide and Christianity 2007 has some good points in it!

I have had a problem of passive anger since i was a small child due to a whole host of things. However, today i make choices when i feel angry and when that emotion builds, instead of making choices that hurt me i try always to focus outward and do something kind for another human being. This, for me, acts as a neutraliser (love) to the anger and more often than not, helps me to get past the negative emotions and focus on what is really important.

Hmm, where do i start Far greater significance than how people sound I don't know that any of our country-persons like to be called British. I would only use that term when i don't wish to stipulate which country i come from.

I don't have a soap box.... will a 'Cutan Alcohol Gel' container suffice?

I forgot to say... Welcome to Worthy

Matthew 19:16-17 (King James Version) "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Jesus came to point the way to the Father

Excellent! Thank you GeneV

Dental work!?

Interesting Greg, Watchman was kind enough to explain that verse to me in the chat room the other day 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." It's not until you pull out specific words that i could see the accusation in them and i do realise that satan is the accuser of the brethren. Thing is, the accuser is not saying anythiing that isn't true, i think... "well he's right, i did do those things, i am that wretched, he's not telling me anything that is not truth" Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. But i can also see that who you are in agreement with is a serious thing Job 22:21 "Agree with God, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you. That is a beautiful song Wingwalker, i have prayed a couple of times, short prayers and am praying for little Harry in the prayers forum for ladypeartree's request which i found easy to do as it wasn't about me. I am thinking about what you've said. I do appreciate your encouragement, i really do and i will do it but maybe small steps for now. I don't want it to seem like i am making excuses, i'm not... it takes me a while to unravel the confusion and to see what the truth is. It's taken me over an hour now, just to be able to write this response to you. Confusion is dreadful but i have picked up a thread of truth and i'm following it what feels like through the dark. I have hope though; something i didn't have when i got here.

It was quite obvious that there are many homosexuals in the Islamic Republic. If it is a crime punishable by death under Iran's Islamic sharia law then i'm not at all surprised they don't have a problem with them as they're all in hiding.

Thank you, both of you. I don't go to a church, no. I haven't for a long while. I was part of a church from age 18 onwards when a friend convinced me to join. I don't think i would be of any use to any church at the moment so i don't attend. I would not want to go there and be a drain on their resources either, i know how it can be when people need a lot and can give very little at first.

I hadn't seriously read your reply until this morning, i skimmed over it the day you posted it but it's taken me a while to read it with a view to actually doing what you suggested. I came to the realisation; what choice do i have? Stay confused Walk away Move forward in faith and try somethng new It's not that i believe my sin is too huge for God to forgive, not at all. I just am so afraid he can see my heart and see's the hypocracy and mess in there and knows that's the only reason i would be repentant. If you ask me, i would tell you that's not the reason but God is supposed to know my heart more than i do, so it could well be. I know i'm probably not making sense but i'm just very mixed up and confused about all this still. I've started praying though I figure i have nothing to loose even if by my own actions, i have burned the bridge.

I would look at who it is that's inspiring young people, what it is they are saying and how loud.

Almost as funny as the lad in the UK who wrote his full name on the wall whilst committing a crime.
