God gives you the first breath you breathe and takes away the last breath you breathe. Why do you think there's suicide attempts? It's God way of saying it wasn't time for that person to go yet.

I've known people who have attempted and committed suicide. Several of them are related to me. You do not know what that person was going through to make them get to that point. Some people have so much pain wheather its emotionally, physically and/or mentally, they just feel its best to end it all.

God makes his judgement at the end of who gets to go to Heaven. Everyone is a sinner and I believe those who accept and believe in Jesus have a good chance of going to Heaven

I wish you well with this thread. I tend to believe that God is infinitely compassionate and merciful, personally. Many do not share this belief and whether they are right or wrong I cannot say.

Yes they do. I know for a fact. You are wrong.

Charles - How do you know? Did you attempt suicide?

I have a cousin that completed suicide and I believe that God knew the pain he was in and understood why he killed himself. I think anyone that kills themself is in immense, unbearable pain. I believe God is a forgiving God that would not condemn someone so tortured.

No, I never committed or attempted suicide. But I know for a fact. You'll just have to believe me.

Which 7 things are you referencing?
Here's one list>>
The Seven Things God Hates | Renewed by the Truth
1.Haughty eyes –
2.Lying tongue –
3.Hands that shed innocent blood –
4.Heart that devises wicked schemes –
5.Feet that are quick to rush into evil –
6.False witness that pours out lies –
7.A man who stirs up dissension among his brothers –

These seven things represent the complete list of the flaws in man that God hates

It is going to be crowded down there.
I choose not to believe this list is accurate. I choose to believe another way.

The pastor of the Westboro Church is now praying a special type of prayer that Anderson Cooper be cursed. I would say he might be very, very wrong in everything that he believes.

On your list?

The majority of ministers and devout Christians in my life believe that there is only one thing that will separate you from God in the hereafter. If you cannot accept Christ. Rarely is Hell discussed---rather how to be closer to God.

Someone can probably locate the precise scripture and discussion/debate can follow but it will be useless as far as I am concerned. fwiw.
