If anyone is contemplating suicide.

Oh, he's already dismissed such Christians as 'shortsighted.'

Now, it is good to know that God CARES for us and we should cast ALL our anxieties on Him in prayer.

"Casting all your anxieties on Him because it matters to Him concerning you." (1 Pet. 5:7)

The scope of things which we can place before the Heavenly Father is vast and without limit. All our concerns we may place before Him.

I love the [b]Psalm 1 ...[text shortened]... ur concern to God, to remember this. You still have much to look back on and give thanks to God for.

@divegeester

Do you feel somehow cleansed when you post stuff like this?

@divegeester

So suicide is obsolete, and those who commit suicide do so because they are “shortsighted” ?

"For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being SHORTSIGHTED, having forgotten the cleansing of his past sins." (2 Peter 1:9)

"And for this very reason also, adding all diligence, supply bountifully in your faith virtue;
and in virtue, knowledge;
and in knowledge, self-control;
and in self-control, endurance;
and in endurance, godliness;
and in godliness, brotherly love;
and in brotherly love, love.

For these things, existing in you and abounding, constitute you neither idle nor unfruitful unto the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For he in whom these things are not present is blind, being shortsighted, having forgotten the cleansing of his past sins."

Especially for the Christian I would say that the Apostle Peter taught that he could be shortsighted forgetting that he was cleansed from his old sins.

There is much reason for perpetual hope for the lover of Christ.

Just answer the question instead of posting waffle.

@divegeester

Divetgeester, your waffle on my question on Luke 12:4,5 didn't go unnoticed.

I think the only tool in your debating toolbox is the repeated question.
You seem to think repetition of questions which have been addressed has some special debating advantage.

It doesn't. All it indicates is that, either you didn't read a reply or the reply was not the replyYOU wanted to insert into someone's mouth.

And now you have started a whole thread which title consists only of my tag name - sonship, and that's all.

Hope you feel better now.

To Dive's question I replied -

I would say that the believer tempted by suicide is shortsighted.

As I review, to be fair I noticed this -

If Jesus has made suicide obsolete, how come Christians still commit suicide?

Shortsightedness.

Wow. What spiritual insight this is (irony).

What a pathetic response, what an insult to the mental anguish people who kill them selves go through.

What an ashole you are.

Ghost of a Duke,

Do I have your attention?

I apologize to you for a comment that was probably too mean. That is the one about people going on the other side of the street because of drunken, diseased, bad breath thing.

I apologize for the too mean analogy. I retract the comment.
