View Full Version : 102.9 is reporting a suicide. FACTS ONLY 06-20-08, - 02:04 PM Gregory Moxey Skyline lakes. 39.. Lucifer 06-20-08, - 02:05 PM I think you mean blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. Are all suicides unforgivable? Joh 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.“ It that not a form of suicide? Are we advocating that Jusus; son of God willfully committed suicide..? Sunnyjohn 06-20-08, - 02:08 PM There are two sins that unforgiveable, blasphemy and suicide. Which verse in da Bible does say dat? The Exotic One 06-20-08, - 02:08 PM Gregory Moxey Skyline lakes. 39.. Yep apparently he was light skinned... That's the name I heard too... Soooo sad! CG 06-20-08, - 02:14 PM Are we advocating that Jusus; son of God willfully committed suicide..? I don’t think that passage was referring only to Jesus. I think the Bible tells us that Jesus laid down his life willingly, no one took it from him. “Phi 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” But I doubt we can call that a suicide in the strict interpretation - or can we?

I think that we can..and as you have said; it is open to strict interpretation, so how bad can it be?? Truthseeker 06-20-08, - 02:22 PM Obviously, one can say that a person who takes their own life has been driven to it while “the balance of his mind was disturbed.” Going straight to hell? Is there no God of mercy? A much better question and a more salient one IMHO...is there a god? Lucifer 06-20-08, - 02:29 PM A much better question and a more salient one IMHO...is there a god? Will someone not answer the Truth Seeker...Is there a god? CG 06-20-08, - 02:30 PM I think that we can..and as you have said; it is open to strict interpretation, so how bad can it be?? All this started because someone said suicide was a sin. I believe that sometimes it is not. To lay down ones life for another is more to be praised than condemned. Those who are facing a long and painful death, with a dying process that will clean out the families life-time savings should be allowed the choice of suicide. Those who are mentally ill cannot be charged with a sin - who knows what drove them to it? But for those who have been crossed in love - I don’t see killing oneself as a good option. Here is a question. If the Doctor tells you to take your medicine or you will die and you choose not to take it (for whatever reason) is that suicide?

These are but a few of the many reasons why a rational human being can't take anything written in the Bible too serious. Fanciful stories is all that book is made of. CG 06-20-08, - 02:36 PM Will someone not answer the Truth Seeker...Is there a god? It is a question that can only be answered by each person and even then, what is a god? Is he a father like person in the heavens, an energy, a force? There are many gods, or as I believe, one God with more than one “face.” Lucifer 06-20-08, - 02:37 PM All this started because someone said suicide was a sin. I believe that sometimes it is not.

CG 06-20-08, - 02:41 PM These are but a few of the many reasons why a rational human being can't take anything written in the Bible too serious. Fanciful stories is all that book is made of. There are many fanciful stories (Aesop’s fables, Brother Grimm etc) they are stories that teach lessons. I know I am going to get in trouble here but the Bible and other Holy Books of other religions fall (in part) into that category. They are not to be discounted. They are there to teach lessons. It is when we take them as fact that we get into trouble. Truthseeker 06-20-08, - 02:49 PM There are many fanciful stories (Aesop’s fables, Brother Grimm etc) they are stories that teach lessons.

I don't discount the messages in some of the bible stories but you have to plough through so much shti to find the pearls of wisdom ..it is not even worth the effort.
