ONE MAY COMMIT SUICIDE OUT OF LOVE FOR OTHERS
We all know that it is paramount to have a decent life. I mean not being taken hostage by something that will dominate us like: money, alcohol, drug, games, sex, isolation, possession, shame, pride, pain, discouragement, absence of love.
Most people from the outset have self control. But as they gradually grow old, they become victims of things that dominate them and failure to seek help from the society or their immediate entourage, perhaps because of pride, limited mental capacity, they end up committing the irreparable act.
I am thinking of various cases. You know it as well. Generally people come to such conclusion, so as to avoid hurting many or disappointing their loved ones. Instead, they prefer to kill themselves.
Others are victims of sexual acts, intimidation, humiliation or a lack of family love. Thus, they prefer to commit suicide because they feel useless in this society and could, if they remained alive, commit violent social acts, due to their rage and inner pain.
WE MAY COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE WE DO NOT FIND OUR PLACE IN SOCIETY. Society has the tendency of imposing certain requirements on our younger generations, depending on the country. Academic marks are an example. Such obstacle from the onset prevents the student from achieving his goal, his dream and the desired lifestyle. The shock is so powerful that some people switch into an unreal universe and commit suicide. Society not wanting them, they have no place in this life. I often think of the son of a rich and powerful man who succeeded in society and who started from scratch. An occupied father, an environment hostile to his fortune, social isolation; and everything suddenly changes; he'll never be as psychologically strong as his father or mother. Such extra pressure can push a teenager to commit suicide.
INTHIS SOCIETY, WE DO NOT ALWAYS REAP WHAT WE SOW. I know a man who had only one daughter. The mother had a serious psychological illness. He took his daughter and raised her according to the holy doctrine. She grew up and became strong. The mother having recovered with time, this man had financial problems and had to change the way he lived. His daughter refused to follow him and stayed with her mother permanently, she was 16 years old, but he thought she was strong enough spiritually to stand on her own. The man always remained close to her and they saw each other regularly. He allowed her to go live with a friend in Alaska for almost a year; then he went to meet her so that she could finish her studies. She finally came back and finished her studies but the love between them was dying out. Her ever-present father came to meet her regularly at the university to encourage her. Then it happened that she met an interesting young man of her taste. At the beginning of the relationship her father was present and often came to make sure her daughter was well. This Christian had a job that made him stay away from time to time to earn a living. He knew that financially his daughter would not miss anything because his mother being rich would ensure as they had agreed judicially. For REASONS UNKNOWN to him, his daughter turned against him, her boyfriend pitched her against her loving father with many misconceptions. The boyfriend who became her husband favored her daughter's mother because she was rich. His daughter got married and this man was not among the honored guests. Then, five (5) times, he was put out of her house, the last time in the presence of the mother-in-law and her boyfriend for no reason. His daughter began to avoid family festivities due to her rank because now rich, professional and a civil servant, she was seeing her loved ones who raised her to be inferior. She preferred her in-laws, imbued with themselves, putting her on a pedestal because of her money. Having a father-in-law who was a psychologist, he had enough reason to mock at the holy doctrine.
WHAT COULD HE DO IN SUCH A SITUATION? The man maintained a distanced relation only with his daughter, because her husband took advantage of all the situations to mount the girl against her father, with the objective of making her to develop hatred for her father, sees him as a liar; in order to put the mother of his daughter who had a fortune forward given that her father did not consent to this marriage with an unbeliever.
This loving father said to himself, I raised my daughter in Christian values; she tasted the supernatural and knows the power of God. I know she was born again, I will continue to do my works for God and work with the strength that he gives me. If one day my daughter comes back to me, I will continue to be a loving father to her until my last trip or rapture. Otherwise, I'll see my daughter in heaven again.
Assuming that his daughter was not born again, in the Kingdom of heaven, he would not remember her (Isaiah 26:14 and 65: 17-18). It would have been simply an ungrateful child. So, is it for GOD who gives life to all the children of the earth.
Admittedly, suicide is not a solution, but who does not think of it? We all have our share of unforeseen events, trials, failures, temptations and persecutions in our individual lives in different ways and to different degrees. Unfortunately, some people take pathways that will lead them to suicide. Let me cite the example of a disappointment in love. There are two (2) ways to deal with an emotional problem. One of them is to consider that the mother of the girls or boys is not dead and that sooner or later we will come across the person made for us. This one or that one is not made for us. The other way is to insist that it is this person who is the right person, not the other person. Then, for the individual to drown his pain, he will embark on the consumption of alcohol or drugs and eventually commit suicide, if he does not deviate from this selfish goal. That brings us to consider, what God tells us: 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
Deuteronomy 30:19
Throughout our life on earth, each of us will have setbacks and situations that will not turn to our advantage. God, tells us to continue to walk in a healthy lifestyle and to pray. The situation will change sooner or later and the blessing will come. Time sweeps everything. Who will remember you in 300 years? Who will remember the person you were? How did you deal with your problems? Only God will remember and judge.
Those who fall during this life struggle (suicide), will have a lesser heavenly reward, but will nevertheless be SAVED, if they have accepted the SACRIFICE OF JESUS ONTHE CROSS FOR THEM. The others will go to eternal damnation as all those who reject the GRACE that Christ offers us.
Other children before reaching the age of reason are simply brought back before time. I am thinking of this girl of two (2) years, found in garbage cans in Quebec. Her name was Rosalie. She had a mother called "junkie", who had already been victim of serious assault on her person. How could she defend herself from this situation at two (2) years of age? Who could help him? Wicked civil servants spending the people's money with draconian working conditions? NO, nobody. The child was abandoned to herself. She cried out for help because she was attacked, she was in pain. They heard, but no one came to her rescue. Seeing that her life was in danger, shouting for help. What did she think in her last moments of life? Distress and anguish within her during her last moments of life, helpless little girl, little lamb being led to slaughter? Did she suffer in this garbage can? The authorities would not want to tell you, it is time to quickly move on to other things, the media feasted on this scandal. Yet, cases like this occur every day before our eyes. I think of abandoned children in Brazil, large banks of human organs in the open. African wars and the world destroying souls. To all those children who are victims of physical and sexual violence around the world. Listen to what God tells you.
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them.
And said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
----
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
(Matthew 18 :1-7 et 10)
Often the world wonders what happens to these little souls who die before reaching the age of reason to make a choice about who Jesus is.
The Bible tells us this:
And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy .
-----
For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
(1 Corinthians 7 :13-14 and 16)
A child born to parents or a Christian parent who has accepted SALVATION BY GRACE in him is seen HOLY by God until the age of reason. Who is Jesus? The day the child accepts, denies or does not seek SALVATION THROUGH GRACE, he becomes responsible to God for his own sins. All other children, because of their parents, are responsible for the original sin. The unbelieving husband or wife is SANCTIFIED, that is, he / she has a better chance of experiencing SALVATION THROUGH GRACE, but if he / she is not born-again, he (she) will be absorbed with all his/her sins into death without savior.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus
Romans 3 :23-24
Do not be deceived, the soul receives a body to move. That soul would have come into another body, if your parents had not been together. It is the soul that receives a body and not the other way around. Children of God are put exactly where they will be born again. The Holy Spirit finds the soul in every body and communicates with it in different ways. Unfortunately, refusal is part of free will, even if there is a disability of the body or the mind. You only have to read about the predestination of God with regard to the elect.
As a result, all his children are predestined
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate , them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
(Romans 8 :29-30)
And
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will
(Ephesians 1:5)
And
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will
(Ephesians 1:11)
And Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you
(1 Peter 1:20)
God does not make a mistake. If He gives life, HIS children are loved by HIM. Abortion is a murder. The Earth can feed its people. Words like famine, overpopulation, and two-thirds worlds have been created by people who are greedy and have love for money. This is to support an economic system based on money. In reality, we are on Earth, to choose if we want to live forever in a HOLY world. God, analyze all possible scenarios for a soul to be born again and place it there in a body. He knows from the outset which soul belongs to Him. It is called predestination. Truly, by reading this book, souls will be born again through this work and will come to Christ.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies, take thy name in vain
Do not I hate them, O L ORD , that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
(Psalms 139 : 15-24)
According to the Bible, there will be different degrees of pain in hell, depending on the life lived on earth. But, this is the place where most humans will go, atheists, men following a religion and sectarians. Even those who believe in the Son of God, but do not ask Him to take their sins on the cross to be saved. These sinners think they can save themselves by weighing their good deeds against their bad deeds. All these people do not recognize themselves as sinners and do not repent of their evil deeds through the person of Jesus Christ, the HOLY ONE. They commit the sin of pride; they are placed at their birth, here and there.
In this wise, if one day Rosalie's mother accepted SALVATION THROUGH the GRACE given by Jesus on the cross. I think, Rosalie's mother would open the doors of the Kingdom of Heaven to her daughter and herself. The prescience of God has no time in eternity. As a man who makes an act of FAITH towards his SALVATION, her past, present and future sins will be erased. Thus, during her lifetime, Rosalie's mother would erase the sin of murder and its consequences on the child and at the same time justify the child before God. Naturally, this will not bring little Rosalie back to life, but will allow her to move on to eternal life if the mother or father of the child are not Christians at the time I am writing this statement.
Poor little Rosalie, born of a mother "junkie", martyred before the age of two (2) , left alone, without rock to attach herself to, with nobody, alone, nothing in front of her. Woe to the people who did this (drug dealers, stupid officials who threw her out of her refuge with the child, no father, silence of the immediate family, mother loving her drug more than her daughter). The free will of man leads to horrors in certain situations because of money, selfishness and people's intolerance.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1 Timothy 6 :10
Such situations make me think of a little girl with her brother struggling with an alcoholic, bulimic, anorexic and depressed mother and a father who is unable by law to have his rights recognized. Otherwise, he would ruin himself financially. Why does this little girl gnash her teeth at night? Only God and his angel know it. She has always looked for a family outside her mother and her natural father.
It is not God who creates such situations; it is the free will of people. Men commit sin in the world and define socially and morally what it (the world) has become. Some people think that the world revolves around their navel; they do not take their responsibilities for the love of their offspring. On the other side, we have lazy officials, politicians and trade unions making laws for themselves, pawing in the treasury and vomiting on ordinary citizens. Sin has made this planet, which should have been a garden where everyone eats to their satisfaction with their place under the sun, a garbage can. This because of the money minded people who exploit the collective assets of each one using their laws that they created, and dictate the price on the developing world.
GLORY BE TO GOD, I know this world is coming to an end. The rapture of the church will mark the beginning of seven (7) years of tribulation with an antichrist.
Then the MILLENNIUM will bring us into an era of more justice, for God will reign over all the earth.
