*bangs head on desk*
ok lemme spell it out for you
Suicidal person: I'm sucidal
Christian: Beat it with Jesus
Suicidal person: ok *prays and reads Bible and really believes that God will save them but nothing happens* Why isn't anything happening...I did everything right...
Christian: Maybe you just don't have enough faith
Suicidal person: There must be something wrong with me. I must be a bad person if Jesus answered your prayers but not mine. I don't deserve to live. God doesn't love me. *goes and sticks a knife in abdomen*
Christian: *stands and watches* killing yourself is a sin.
Suicidal person: *gasping for air*
Christian: It's murder.
Suicidal person: *dies*
I know that was an exaggeration but it's not too far from reality because that is almost what happened with me. Now would your first priority in that situation be to get that person to a better state of mind or to tell them the cold hard truth?
