BIBLICAL ANSWERS TO SUICIDE Bible Study
Life is truly a gift from God that He gave us to live, not to live the way we want to but, the way God wants us to. God created you and I in His own image, to live just like Jesus Christ, to serve Him and not of ourselves. Friends, my son had a friend from school that has committed suicide last week. Taking drugs, smoking any type of rat poison's, rather its cigars, cigarettes, weed, any of them that is out t here, drinking alcohol, its all a form of suicide and can lead you to hell. It's all rebelling against God and will not go unpunished. Any form of suicide and rebelling is on the outside of God and will not be able to go to heaven. That's why it is so important in this life, to live right in God's sight and walk away from sin and to never do them. Many people are thieves to God and to others.
If you owe others for something, either its a product that a person bought from you or the money for the product that he or she have not received like you promised, and if you are a Christian or not, it defiles you. It shows what kind of fruit that is truly is inside of you, same thing for the habits of doing drugs, smoking and drinking, that shows what kind of fruit that is inside of you. When a branch bears bad fruit, it is cut down and burned.
Matthew 7:18-23 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. 21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
If you have good fruit within you, then you would refrain from doing evil. I don't understand why so many pastors today are so blind when it comes to preaching God's Holy Word. Shame to those who practice sugar coating and being seeker sensitive to God's Word, that is also a sin and can lead the person to hell.
1 Corinthians 3:16 - 3:17 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
In Mark 3:28 - 3:29 says this;
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Blaspheme against the Holy Ghost is also done by killing yourself and others, suicide ties right in with that.
Our body's was created by God, meaning the temple that your soul lives in is a temple of God.
God resides in our hearts, to those who are Christians and to those who are even working on becoming on the Lord side.
That is why suicide is also blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, meaning against God.
Exodus 20:13 - Thou shalt not kill.
John 3:16 tells us; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This is true, the down fall is, if you are not living up to your bargain with God and allowing him to transform you from within, then everything that God has done for you
is going right out to the outside trash, that is done by your selfish sins.
If you are not turning away from sin and from wanting to do suicide, then God will depart from you and you will be subject to hell.
Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
If you are on the road to performing a suicide action and step away from doing it, you can be forgiven and forgiven by God and get baptized into Christ and gain salvation of eternal life, but, if you follow through with suicide attempt and die here, you will be dead for all of eternity in hell, then there will be no second chances.
This life we live in this present world, is our chance to get right with God and live that Holy life that God has placed us here to live since the begaining of time. I have confronted pastors in their very own Churches about the subject of suicide, moments after they got done preaching about it. They would say things like, well, if a Christian commits suicide, he would go to heaven. No, that is a true lie right out of the gate, I even had a friend and a leader of a Church, try to tell me the same thing. I even done Bible research and had it emailed to the pastor, in hopes that he would understand what God say's about it in the Bible. If your going to teach and preach the Word of God, you need to teach the Truth and don't even try to sugar coat it, Jesus never once did. I know, if I was living in any type sin, I would not be able to study and prepare a study from God's Word, if I had the Holy Spirit telling me that I did something wrong, I would not be able to share God's Word.
My conscience would let me know, which is God, the Holy Spirit guiding and directing me. Many people may not have a conscience, the reason is that they don't have Jesus Christ in their hearts. The Holy spirit, which is our conscience, if you are living in any kind of sin, it will flee from you and it won't be able to guide you in your life. Many of you has been living without the God in your lives, so about having a conscience will be foreign to some of you.
If you go out side tonight and you die without Jesus in your life, you will not make it to heaven. Oh no, he is judging, yikes. "You're Not Supposed To Judge Me"- The Difference Between Judging and “YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO JUDGE ME”- THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JUDGING AND REBUKING

Have you ever told someone they've hurt you, and instead of apologizing, they tell you you’re not supposed to be judging them? It seems to be a popular defense for an offender to try and use a Christian’s faith against her. Besides being under the misconception that you must forgive them, even if they are unrepentant and unremorseful, many abusers will tell you that you can’t “judge” them when they have behaved offensively or wickedly. They will answer your rebuke by telling you that “the Bible tells us we are not to judge others”. Or they will tell you “only God” can judge them. They seem to think that this gives them free rein to carry on their unacceptable behavior just as before, without ever having to answer for it, or stop it either, for that matter, until God himself judges them and sends them to hell!
What they are choosing to misunderstand is the difference between judging and rebuking. The distinction is that rebuking seeks to CORRECT the offender rather than CONDEMN her. Unfortunately, many offenders take issue at being corrected and prefer to turn it around and accuse the rebuke'r (or victim) of wrongdoing rather than admit they were wrong and change their own behavior. Although the Bible does tell us not to judge one another, it also instructs us very clearly to rebuke those who do evil, as well as those who hurt us.
Another way of looking at rebuking vs. judging is that rebuking involves facts, while judging involves assumptions. Here is an example: when you disapprove of/protest/confront an abuser for behaving in ways that hurt other people (fact), and he responds by accusing you of not being a good Christian (assumption) (because you are confronting him, not honoring him, or for whatever reason), then you are rebuking him, but he is judging you.
The best known scripture concerning not judging others is Matthew 7:1-5, in which Jesus tells us, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” (KJV)
Perhaps you have judged someone by the way they look, their job, the clothes they wear, or the car they drive. Maybe you have gossiped about a woman who had
