Wide is the path to Destruction and many will follow it... and Narrow is the path to Salvation and only few find it.... Just my two cents on the ordeal...

Hey Jen
great to see you, even if it isnt in the room! I'm curious though what if the person suffers from extreme mental illness? ie bipolar? When my friends bipolar christian father killed his wife and himself the scripture "nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus" came to me and was validated 2 other times in this situation, not even our mental illness can separate us from the price that Jesus paid for us. I do think that Judgement belongs to the Lord. You say that if he were truly saved he wouldnt be bipolar. This is definitely inaccurate in my opinion. This man spent years trying to pray himself out of his disorder and ultimately he lost the battle I have confidence though that he was a winner in his absolute unwavering belief in the Lord in spite of what this totally tragic night of blackness caused him to do. Note one christmas they left the christmas dinner on the table and up and went to disneyland... another time they left everything and moved clear across the country for a few months. He battled this disorder and its effect on his family for years. It really is too bad that the Lord didnt deliver him from this. I dont understand it at all, all I know is I will reserve judgement in these matters to the Lord.
