  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Do I have the right to die?

I don't think you are going to get anyone to tell you that you can kill yourself and get to go to heaven. The bible is not real clear in that area. You need people to pray over you and pray for you. The enemy of your soul wants you dead. It is he who is whispering these things in your ear. It is he who is bringing you this pain and distress. Seek Gods help, don't listen to the voice of death. God wants you to grow strong. God wants to fill you with His Spirit and to experience the peace that passes understanding. Find help in the body of Christ. I have been where you are, don't give up. Keep seeking God.

Before I give you a canned response, what is really weighing on my heart is why you would want to kill yourself?

However, to answer your question, It is not that we have the “Right to Die” it is that we have an “Inevitable death”, so your not really talking about the ‘Right to die’, what you are really asking is “At what point can I murder myself”

Now, murder is a sin, if you kill yourself, this is would be your final sin, you have no chance to confess, or seek forgiveness for this act, if you succeed.

And do you really want to stand before God, with the last act you did in this world was become a Murderer of one of his children?

God Bless

I believe God is Love. Is that's an answer? I doubt. I don't know answer to such a questions

Could you tell us what's happening to you? Why are you thinking about suicide?

Could you check this sides: here and here.

I'm so glad to hear that you have come back into the fold. However, it would be a great tragedy to lose you so quickly after coming back.

God's forgiveness is infinite, but it is not wise to test that. If God has striven with you long enough for you to come back to Him, then He has a plan for you.

Even if you are forgiven, you will still have to answer for why you did not fulfill the plan that He had for you. It is not up to us to decide when our time here on this earth is over. It is up to God. Until He takes us, there is work for us to do here in this realm.

I would ask that you take some time to seek God's will for your life. If you truly ask Him, He will eventually make clear to you what it is. It may be as simple as living the life as a witness to others, or He might have greater things in store for you. Be patient. Heaven can wait.

God makes us happy. He fills the void that no one or no thing can fill. Please, please, continue to seek God and don't give in to this temptation. Suicide is not of God. You are in my prayers. :hug:

Hey mate I know how you feel along with many people I am sure. I struggle with this too at times. My advice is to go and see someone who you can talk to. A psychologist or a doctor, someone who might be able to help you. The brain is a very complicated thing and if thats not enough, the harsh stuff we go through in life at times doesnt help either. I really hope you find the right people to help you. It sucks to feel like this, I am hoping and praying for ya mate, that you experience some good help and some good times soon.

cheers ;)

I saw this scripture quoted in another post and I just felt like it applied to you and your situation.

Deuteronomy 30:19 - 20

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:that thou mayest love the L[SIZE=-1]ORD[/SIZE] thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the L[SIZE=-1]ORD[/SIZE] sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

God loves you even if you don't believe that. However, to give up on your life and take it is to say no to the gift that God has given you.

I have been to a dark place like yours before. I remember laying on the floor thinking of ways to end my life. But in the midst of that I remembered the love that Christ showed for me by all that He did for human kind and myself by coming here and being born and living and then suffering and dieing (physically).

While on earth he suffered. He had "no place to lay his head" as He says in the Gospels. I always see that as His saying He was homeless. He was not rich with money. He didn't come to make life easy, but to bring us life. This life is not a just the ability to breath in and out every day, but Eternal Life. He came to end death, not suffering on earth.

In the midst of suffering we can find God's Grace.

My screen name used to be "thornygrace" because it was in the thorns of my life, in the bad parts where I had no joy, that I discovered the Grace of God. That Grace didn't rescue me from bad times, it gave me a reason to live through them.

As you recover from your health problems and depression (I assume you are depressed because your posts sound so full of dispair, forgive me if I am wrong), as you recover, more people will come in to your life. New things will happen and in time, you will discover that all along you were meant to live here with all of us. There are so many people whose life you have yet to touch and make a positive difference in!

You don't have the choice whether or not to exist. Your soul is immortal and will live on, you cannot destroy it. You can, however, with the last of your strength, turn to Jesus Christ. He will be there, He will resque you from the pit. Turn to Him. Every moment, and every day. Keep moving forward towards Him. You must find people to pray for you, to support you. You need the body of Christ to lay their hands on you and bring you His healing.

You're only 18. You've got plenty left to live for. However bad things feel, you've got so much time to start over. You have special gifts and talents, just like everyone, let God use those.

What are you talking about? Give me clear literal instructions.

1. Call a hotline or crisis line (your yellow pages has one) Talk to them and be honest about your situation.

2. Get medical care to find out if you are depressed. Be very honest with them about how you feel and the kind of thoughts you have. (You can speak to your regular doctor if you have one, or just walk into a hospital emergency room and tell them that you are thinking of killing yourself.) Do not worry about costs, all States have money set aside for people in your situation who can't afford medical care but are thinking of killing themselves.

3. Follow what the medical staff tell you to do.

4. Find a church that you want to attend.

5. Attend the church.

6. Talk to a priest or minister or youth leader at the church and get advice. (I suggest that you call the church office and set up an appoitment to talk about this privately rather then try to talk on Sat or Sunday when the church is crowded with people.)

7. Follow their advice.

Hi once again!
Good to hear from you..
I don't like life, its not a matter of how good my lifestyle is. I could have a billion dollars and id still want to die.
they say money don't bring happiness. only make sofa you sit on more comfortable....
i think that, only giving yourself to others, or case you believe in, or God, or all together make us feel whole.
And what is happiness for you? Do you remember what used to bring you joy?
I want to sleep. Nothing makes me happy, nothing is enjoyable. I don't want to feel pain or struggle any more.
I may be very wrong but this sounds like you might suffer from depression.
I know it only because my mother is quite often balancing on the line of depression.
If it would be the case, then the pain you feel my be eased.

As for struggle. I had a brain tumor. While i was in hospital i have seen and met people with cancer. Their health and life is take away from them, but they can give really a though fight to have few weeks or months more. Even in pain they want to live.
There is good in this life, deadmanxzxz! There are thing worth holding on and fight!
Im ill and I cant do any thing right, I dont work or any thing and I dont have any one. No friends and no lover.
if I'm not to nosy :sorry: , what's wrong with your health? I'm also single. i have friends, but i had to learn that i have to be their friend first. And that most people are very afraid to make first move, to be pushed away. i though that I can be the one handle fear, so i try to approach them first...i don't say it's solution for you.. you have to find your way
What problems do you have with "friends"?

What are you talking about? Give me clear literal instructions.
look for people who help those who have suicidal thoughts. Speak to doctor. Be patient with your self. Talk to someone you trust. Remind yourself what did make you happy. Look for a meaning for your life, maybe try to help someone around you?

I'm going to Barcelona today. If you want to get postcard from there pm me your address :D

What should I do? I dont want to exist theirs no point. Lets be honest god cant really make me happy. It may bring comfort mentaly to some but I cant be happy. I want to be a robot, I dont want to control my body I just want to rest.
I know how you feel. I have felt the same way for most of my life. But God has been healing my heart of the wounds of my past, and I have just begun wanting to live. I know it can happen for you, too.

Father, I pray for this young man that You would touch his heart in a special way, that You would reach out with Your power and heal him, that You would make Yourself real to him. I pray that You would pour out Your Unconditional Love upon him, and that he would know Your intimate Presence. Draw him near to You and cause the devil to flee. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Im not scared of purgatory anyways. Im already in hell and I want to escape.

Ive tryed it all already, Ive been to different mental health places. Im on meds and theyre not really helping. I asked god to help me for years, since I was 12. What makes me happy is fantasy. I like dreaming of better existences.

No !!

No !!

No !!


No one has such a right . . .

If you know it to be a SIN and you accomplish it anyway . . .

that makes it a MORTAL sin . . .

and just HOW are you planning on gaining access via the Heavenly Gate . . .

with a Mortal sin on your soul . . .


as Holy Father Pope John Paul II the Great said:



Choose LIFE :preach: . . .




Personally, I would N E V E R . . .
