Suicide

[Wix]

you are carrying all your burdens all by yourself, and not letting God or others help you. If you have friends (like Draigon or others) who are pleading with you for you to let them help you

It's better if people don't care . I'd rather not put it upon their shoulders anyway, it's mine, I'll deal or die if I'm weak. It's not too important either way, just the natural order of things. Anyway, I had my question answered. Thank you to the person who answered.

Better for who?

It's not really that you "put it upon their shoulders" so much as the ppl who care willingly want to take it upon themselves. I know it's a hard concept to grasp...especially if you've never experienced ppl genuinely care for you before. People who have had a hard life tend to become cynical (I know because I'm sometimes like that), but when even one person breaks through...it can change everything.

I understand that you had your question answered, but just know that because of the nature of your question, alot of ppl are still concerned. Tell us to stop caring all you want, it will do no good. Too late, we care.

I do not understand.

If you do not want people caring for you,

if you do not want people praying for you,

why are you sharing this with us?

why are you here?

I just asked why suicide was a sin... read the original post.

[nebula]

Yes, I know - but why did you want to know?

[artsylady]

Why not just start talking to Him? If you're hurt, tell Him. If you're angry, tell Him. If you're tired and weary and depressed, just talk to Him about it.

You've seen a big change in your friend Draigon. She is a new creature. You do beleive that, I'm sure. I'm sure you sense it and feel it and know it. So what's wrong? Do you feel that you don't deserve happiness? Your friend has moved on to a wonderful new life and you're stuck in your current misery because why? You don't deserve happiness? Don't believe the lies from the devil. No matter what you've done or where you've been, God WILL forgive you and love you. The Bible is so clear on that. THIS IS TRUTH MY FRIEND! You DO deserve happiness and a wonderful life with Christ! No matter where you've been or what you've done, Christ can change you. Christ WANTS to change you. He sees us differently than we see ourselves. He loves you. You have to know that is true.

In Jesus day, he met friends whose friend Lazarus had died. Jesus friends were crying because of the loss of their friend. Jesus told them that he would raise Lazarus from the dead, but the friends continued to mourn and then as the Bible says "Jesus wept". Jesus knew he was going to heal Lazarus so he didn't weep for the loss of Lazarus. Jesus felt empathy for his friends pain. He felt for them so much that he was moved to weep. He feels your pain too. He really does.

If you commit suicide, you'll be facing Him. Why not just face Him now? Tell Him the things you want to say and be honest with Him about everything. Give your burdens to God. He has asked us to do this.

Ok here we go. Let me see if I got this straight for everyone to understand.

Suicide is sin, but why?

Until Death Do I Part

PS: May be wrong forum 

Well Until death do us part referes to marriage. which has nothing to do with suicide. Suicide is usally only done by one person for the most part and for the sake of argumenet.

Now if you are critically ill in the recent past people called on Dr. Cavorkin for assisted suicide because they did not have enough strength to kill themselves and no longer had the will to live. However, it is still a sin because now you are commiting suicide and you asking another person to commit murder. The 10 commandments even say Thou shalt not commit murder.

Yes, suicide is a sin and the answer was given by Draigon as far as I'm concerened. Draigon said.........

wix, suicide is a sin, because you are still killing, no not others, but yourself, and you are taking your life, which should be in Gods hands!

However Wix, since you did not jump in to answer Draigon second question you started getting all of these responses. Perhaps you should answer Draigons question and people will leave you alone.

Draigon said...........

You are not thinking of doing this are you?!?!?! I don't want to lose a best friend *cries*

He is there, always

*Draigon*

It is apperent by Draigons deep and meaninful relationship with you that she is very concerened since you did not respond to her second part of the question.

It is not quit clear what your intentions are since you did not answer the question and are not giving anyone a direct answer. Sucicide is an issue not to be taken lightly and for those of who have either tried or had friends do this we are just concerened for your well being.

IF your intentions are to Kill yourself for whatever reason let me point out by this thread you have obviously been a very good friend Draigon. Perhaps if were not for your valuable relationship with her Draigon may not have re-comitted her life back to the Lord. So it looks to me like Your life is worth living if you can bring one person to Christ. It would be a crime and shame not just a sin if you were to kill yourself because if you been given the gift to bring one souls to christ you still have an opurtunity bring more lives to christ. IF you are to kill your self than you will never know who denied the freedom in christ that you apreantly have shown to Draigon. To kill your self would be a sin knowing you have changed a persons life to the Lord. You can not do that when you are dead at least not very well that I have seen.

Jesus Gave Me Hope

by Robert Dotson

I don't know what you're going through.

But, I wanted you to know,

I've struggled through,

Some hard times too,

When tears began to flow.

It was then I called on Jesus' name,

During a time I could not cope.

And, my circumstance was not the same,

For Jesus gave me hope!

He said, "My child come unto me,"

"And I will give you rest!"

"Just have faith and you will see,"

"I'll help you stand the test!"

His voice then calmed,

Life's troubled sea!

The billows ceased to roll!

A wonderful peace came over me,

As great joy filled my soul!

Now I've learned to trust in Him,

No matter, come what may!

And though life's path is often dim,

He'll guide me all the way!

Wix, (Sam)

The two most important commandments with the bible can answer this question.

In Matthew 22: 36-40 Jesus answers those who ask him which are the most important commandments.

"Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?" Jesus replied, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. That is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important. Love your neighbor as yourself. All the other commandments and all other demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."

The ten commandments are clearly outlined within those two alone. If you do not love yourself, how can you truly say you love others? So this would explain the reason as to why suicide would be a sin. For in a person's ending his/her own life they have not only denied love for themselves, but for others, and most importantly for God.

With Love In Christ,

Danielle

Wix there's not much that I can say that someone hasn't already said. But I too have wondered if sucide is a sin. The reason I wanted to know is because I was thinking about ending everything. I don't mean to be dramatic but I thought that life could not get worse. I was wrong it did get worse. It didn't get better until I decided to actually trust in Jesus to help me. I gave Jesus my pain and hurt and rejecetion and he handles it much better then I did If you are thinking about comitting suicide please don't I am so glad that I didn't end my life. Just give life a chance you may never know what will be at the end of the road. And if Jesus is your guide you won't regret it. I will also pray for you.
