07/31 The Bridge Controversy - Tragic Choice
Quote From: lauribunsApparently you have never suffered from depression or for that matther any other illness.. And you must also be a saint who has never done anything wrong. Depression is an illness and trust me people do not like feeling like taking their lives.. Would God like you any less if you had another diesase. We all make promises to God, and hate dissappointing Him. We just have to do our best and that is all He asks of us. 4 months ago, my sons 18 year old roommate commit sucide by lying down beside my son while he was asleep and pulling the trigger..My son has asked me many times since then if I thought his friend went to heaven or hell for his actions. I don't know the "correct" answer per say..but I have told my son, that I believe that GOD knew that his friend was sick and knew that he didn't know what he was doing. That is all I can really come up with to tell him..I do believe that what I have told him is true..but for my sons friend and his where abouts after taking his life, I question it myself a little bit..how are we to know? I know that some religions tell us that if we take our own lives then we are doomed to hell..but GOD is the all knowing GOD, he has to know that people that do this, are not themselves and don't really know what they are doing.
