Suicide

I think He's us the saviour was a clue to savour.

In answer to your questions. I think it may be considered stupid because things can only get better from now on and we'd be missing out on quite some ride 🙂

Suicide is usually a 'desperate act' not a 'stupid act.' Why do you equate desperation with stupidity? Have you ever experienced profound desperation? (I won't ask if you have experienced profound stupidity).

Is it the single most stupid thing a being can do to itself?

How foolish it is I cannot say.
But Christ has made it not necessary.

One commits suicide because one comes to the realization that he or she is HOPE-LESS.

Excuse me. Jesus DIED and ROSE because God knew that with us it is HOPELESS.
He knew all along. We didn't ...[text shortened]... and living with Christ, he counts those proud things of his pedigree life as DUNG in comparison.

You really shouldn't post on topics relating to:

1. Moon Landings
2. Reincarnation
3. Suicide.

When you do post on these 3 topics you simply betray your lack of genuine understanding.

(Suicide is no less a reality for Christian's than non-Christians, and all clearly view it as necessary when they carry out such a sad act).

Is suicide a sin? Thread 166512 by divegeester 30th Nov 2015[/b]

Grampy Bobby... Haven't heard from him in quite some time. Anyone know why he hasn't made a move since Oct 2016?

I guess it's like addiction which can be better understood as running from some thing rather than to something. The vast majority of mental health cases are better understood in this light. An example being, does a grandma who has spent months on Morphine in hospital then return home as an addict?

One would assume if she was sent home it was because she was a lot better and therefore didn't need much in the way of pain meds. Besides Morphine is a terrible pain med anyway, there are more powerful ones which are also addictive like dilaudid and such. My wife is in constant pain and will not take any of them for precisely the reason of not wanting to become addicted. Morphine does nothing for her. She bears more pain than any 10 people should, a heroine in my book.

Christ has made suicide obsolete.
This is because His death on the cross has not only a redemptive solution but a [b]terminating solution as well.

When you touch the Spirit of Jesus Christ within you can not only be set free from condemnation because of His redeeming blood. You can also learn that the terminating power puts to death many negative ...[text shortened]... the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." (Gal. 2:20) [/b] [/quote][/b]

So your Jesus commited suicide for the rest of us. Got it.

Grampy Bobby warned us that the day would come when he would no longer care about arguing with some on the Forum. And I think that day came.

May the Lord be with his spirit. I know he is in good hands.

I live by the motto 'never leave a man down ' the alternative might bring about desperation...
