As cruel as it may sound, but self-murder has no forgiveness. It is only damnation. It was a ton of God-given talent, all wasted in the end.

Oh shut up.

``He wasn't just talented, he was just a really nice young man,'' said David Wohl, an assistant professor at Colorado State University, where Brandenn studied music after high school. ``He had an easy smile. He really was unpretentious.''

I see a sweet child that probably couldn't cope. Lord have mercy on this child.

Sounds like religious zealousy to me.

You are sadly correct, and probably have gotten well-flamed for expressing this. This child, for all his talent, was most likely a little god in his own eyes. This perception was continually enforced by authority figures around him and fed upon itself. It is the pride - the first evil - that dwells in every one of us.

Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

I am worried at your interpretation of that passage. The only unpardonable sin is to deny Christ and not receive Him as your Saviour.

You don't know whether it does or not. And he was a CHILD. AND the "damnation" of someone who commits suicide is best left in the hands of the only One qualified to do so.
