That may be a good excuse, but it won’t satisfy God.

Amazing to me that you would claim to know the mind of God and assume that He was without mercy for all suicides.

Not after He went to the extreme to provide the ulitimate remedy for any and all mental anguish or deep depression.

Which one in the throes of deep depression or mental illness is often incapable of accepting, BECAUSE HE/SHE IS MENTALLY ILL.

I have first hand knowledge on this my ex-wife was bi-polar.

That would be secondhand knowledge. You were not inside her head, nor can anyone who has not been mentally ill presume to fully understand the distorted thought processes.

Not so amazing, read the Word, God has revealed Himself to any who care to know Him and what He thinks. Here is something He reveals about Himself:

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Now, the question might be how many of those who commit suicide, have the spiritual fruit of joy and peace? If they dont have this fruit, they dont have the Spirit of God, and if they dont have the Spirit of God, they dont know Him.

Which one in the throes of deep depression or mental illness is often incapable of accepting, BECAUSE HE/SHE IS MENTALLY ILL.

Classic! Psychology provides phony excuses for incompetence, rebellion and sin. No one is guilty; everyone is a victim. The heart is not evil; low self-esteem is the problem. Sin has become "mental illness" requiring not repentance but therapy.
