I wonder what happened or why?
No, they can't help in that way, but they can help because they are there for anyone who is in crisis.
yes, one does. but what if they already did?
That verse is referring to the commandment thou shalt not kill. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" it is asking what temple are ye? God's temple or Satan's temple?
and no, the devil is not messing with me, unless you are him. you started the 'suicide stuff' and are continuing to push it.
So what say I am a christian but I commit adultery with another woman, and during the act I have a heart attack? am I in heaven or hell?
It would be mocking God's power to sy that Satan can eternally strip a believer from God simply by getting them to commit suicide.
Which one...there are a lot of chicken soup books.
I don't think they in the shops anymore though, I'd have to borrow from the library if they got it. Sometimes they don't stock a big series like that.
Yes and self murder is a sin where a person dies before they can repent and turn away from their sin so they are lost.
Self murder is the ultimate rebellion against God to destroy the life God gave them.
The more Christians that go around telling everyone the lie that you can self murder and still go to Heaven, the more people will start killing themselves which we are already seeing this over the past couple decades as more people are bring tricked by the devil in to killing themselves.
Do you believe the wages of sin is being rewarded with Heaven?
No, the wages of sin is death which is separation from the Lord.
The thing to do here is don't be a servant of sin.
Romans 6:16 - Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
It's mocking God to say a person can sow to the flesh and not reap corruption.
Galatians 6:7-8 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Pretty sad when Christians these days advocate for being able to do sin and still be saved. They do err.
From what I can glean online
Mike was 17, he shot himself with a gun in his car in the driveway after a 'soured romance' .
The car, was a beloved Yellow Ford Mustang, so...that's where the yellow ribbon came from.
Not sure where/how he got hold of the gun, but, I suppose in the US they are easily obtainable.
Thats sad he died of a broken heart? I mean only 17? What did the girl say to him, and why would he feel that way to take his own life? I suppose at that age, everything is all or nothing.

Obviously he was listening to the devil.
We know the Holy Spirit does not ever lead anybody to murder themselves.
It's in soup for the teenage soul, one of the first 3, but I don't remember.
It's actually more common than you'd think, unfortunately. when your entire life and personality is wrapped up in a relationship, when the relationship is torn away, it causes deep scars. suicide is the extreme, but possible. I have good friends who have come out of a bad relationship with permanent emotional damage, self harm, various disorders, etc. the same can be said of other things as well, such as death, not just a bad breakup.
I cannot condone your philosophy, and I believe it to be anti christian, not only believing that you can lose your salvation, but that in order to have salvation, you must earn it yourself, with no need for christ. "Not of works, lest any man should boast"
I sincerely hope you change your beliefs.
and consider yourself blocked, sir.
@Oncefallen?
Why would I stop believing the whole counsel of God? I'm not going to get in the ditch with all the tares who live on the wide path that leads to destruction. That ain't no way to go!
1 Corinthians 6:19,20
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
A true Christian understands that their body belongs to the Lord and as such they refrain from murdering themselves.
Romans 11:22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, IF thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Those not continuing in God's goodness are cut off.
Lesson here is don't be a backslider turning away from the Lord and instead abide in Christ like a real Christian.
Thank you. We should not be associating with one another.
