No actually only one thing does that. The complete rejection of Jesus Christ which is not as such suicide. It happens to even the staunchest of believers.
The man was severely mentally ill at least some of it was likely not self inflicted illness such as his being BiPolar. Mental illness can drive persons to do drastic measures to themselves. Many of those fortunate enough not to have it likely can not understand. Pills don't cure all and in some cases pills can push a person over the edge even with mild depression and they not even be conscious of their actions. IOW the meds can possible be a contributing factor even though necessary to treat the illness.
One who considers and attempts suicide is mentally ill whether they succeed or not. They are not as such responsible for their actions. It's a terrible way to go I grant you that as it affects others in the persons life.
Jesus while hanging on the cross put their by the Romans at the insistence of the Jewish religious leaders looked down upon the ones who put Him there and said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". Suicide is not a rational thought it is pain driven. A pain as real as the most harsh of cancers. Rather than pass judgement it might be wiser of folk to say By the Grace of GOD it wasn't themselves or their family.
Why don’t you just read his word?
He and his apostles all said one must endure to the end.
.
thank you.
most people who do not either suffer themselves, or live with a family member who does, do not comprehend mental illness, specifically depression.
Free Republic has always been heavily laden with posters who think they are arbiters of what’s in the Bible or can interpret Gods word best.
I’ve always bristled at that
Young posters here don’t remember that back when America was admittedly a better place we were nonetheless overrun with the holier than though finger pointers
People have fallen away from organized religion obviously but the high and mighty still exist today in the form of the most politically correct who now worship the earth, animals, goddesses and diversity and any culture or race but their own
They aggravated me then and still do now.....same kinds of people....new God(s)
