God the Son holds the keys to birth, the keys to death, and the keys to Hades.

Those who attempt to usurp that authority are acting in a state of mind independent of faith through Christ.

Sin was settled on the Cross, but not the issues of good and evil, which will be settled in time.

Today we are tested in any number of ways, but how we respond or react provides testimony in both the angelic conflict and to our level of sanctification to qualify for further reward at the bema seat. As long as we are alive, God still has a Plan for us in His Plan. Rationalizing suicide for whatever reason fails to remain in faith through Christ in our thinking.

Very well said.
I believe this is the truth.

But I am also fiercely independent and don’t want to be in a dependent situation as stated earlier. That is why I am conflicted on it.
