Well, suicide is never a great option in my honest opinion, but here is a great list of why one wouldn't want to kill themselves.\n\nhttp://www.wingsoffiresurvivors.com/reasons.htm

He's not alive. Why spend our money to search for him? I agree with you. It's not worth the time or money.

That's a good question, and further to that, what is he doing now -- other than willingly watching the world go to ruin?  (And please don't start on that stuff about the fulfillment of prophecy, etc.)

Many people suffer through tragedies in life.You are still here because God has a plan for you and that plan is not complete. I assume that is who you are referring to be including "he". Focus on God and His plan before focusing on your own plan. Read "Purpose Driven Life". The book is fairly short and has the potential to open your eyes and mind to possibilities not yet seen.

I agree! Live for now and chill with the other awesome people in hell. Even if I believed in gods, that would be my philosophy.

My friend, I agree with you, yet I also see a more pressing matter at hand. What about those persecutors and all the non-believers? If they die, they will not rejoice with all of us in heaven with the Lord God. I will pray for both the believers and the non-believers. There isn't much I can do from my present state but pray and preach the Word, since i'm not in a position to do anything but that. Email me if you have questions or are a fellow believer in Christ at questinchrist@yahoo.com. God bless

I am about to have a tumor the size of a cantalope removed from my body this Friday.  I also have a mass on a kidney.  I would be leaving behind three great little kids.  I care if you live.  You don't know what you have until there is a threat that it will be taken from you.  When I was younger I admitted myself to a psych hospital for three weeks because I didn't see any more reason to live.  Back then I really couldn't see any future for me.  If I had only known all the good things that were down the road.  Life is a gift and the best is yet to come.   Even if things are tough now, believe me, better days are ahead.  I care very much.  I don't want to die, and it hurts me to think of someone not understanding what they are throwing away.  Please seek help if you are serious.  Your are worthy of a wonderful life.  You deserve good things.  I don't know you, how old you are, what your situation is or if you are just bored and typing this question to see what people say but no matter what your reason for writing, I can assure you as someone facing some scarey stuff, I care very much that you CARE that you live.

Ask them what they need and do that. \n\nJust be a helping hand.\n\nListen.\n\nChuck Swindoll talked about how he helped an older woman when he was a cabbie and she was moving into a "home." Google him and look for his sermon from a couple weeks ago if you want to hear the story. Not a religious ploy just a good story.

what makes you think he didnt commit suicide? There are several signs to consider suchas : DId he give away valuable things that he cherished? Was he out trying to make peace with enemies? Was he depressed alot more than usual? Problems with a girlfriend or someone else? I can relate cause my brother committed suicide in 1993. May God be with you and loved ones!

Tell him in so many words that everyone has a different idea of God and God means something different to everyone. He is someone who watches over you in life and when life seems bad thats when God is trying to teach us the most, and he is not a person but a feeling inside of us that lets us know we'll be ok in life. As far as death is concerned tell him that when its time for people to leave the earth God will play with them until their loved ones can join them. I wouldnt explain a concept of hell. The world is negative enough as it is you could tell them maybe that when you die you get a pair of wings, but the bad people in life have to do extra stuff in heaven to get earn their wings...im not religious thats why i can answer this ? without being biased and preaching from the bible. I would encourage him when he gets older to take a world cultures class because i loved it and that was the best class i got the most out of.

Abso-posi-lu-tively life into years!\nIf I could have left this world 8 years ago, I would have been satisfied at the time of my death.\nNow I am getting older and I have not been able to experience the "live and let live happily" side due to legal vs. moral argument.\nI am under authorative thumb now from standing for my beliefs and not allowed to live freely. It has added years to my life, but would gladly trade the years for life.\n\nHopefully, the Lord has a plan in my coming years to bring back the life. Atleast I will have eternal life and that, my friend, makes it worth living.

Hey - if you love him, and he really believes that's where God wants him to go, support him, and just trust in God that He will take care of him. Remember no matter what happens nothing can separate you from the love of God... I Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." Hope that helps a little:). God bless.

I have a similar situation in my own life. I don't know how I will react when the time comes, but I have several pillars of strength to help me.\n\n1. My spouse is living her life to the fullest even though she is dealing with multiple medical problems. I receive considerable encouragement from her fortitude by seeing that a part of life is fight to overcome sorrow.\n\n2. I have total conviction, no doubts whatsoever, in the existance of God. I feel that He has a purpose for all of us, and it is up to us to fulfill that purpose.\n\n3. I also have faith in my religion, and receive considerable comfort in the readings of sacred text.\n\nWhen the time comes I'm sure that my heart will be broken, but all indications are that I will be strong and will survive to continue on the path I'm meant to fulfill.\n\nGood luck with your own, your families and your friends trials, emeraldprincess. Continue to look for help and it should be there when you need it.

We are all on this earth for a very short time. You & I aren't speacial, we too will die. Make the most of this life while we are here, is the lesson we should get from this. Lets try to be thankful for this young mans life even though it was short. He died doing something he loved. In my book thats better then being layed up in a bed suffering for long time. I know it is hard, but after the, understandable, saddess life goes on and our time here is limited.

Thank You, asking me that question...finally someone who begins to think. -\n\nwhat would such a God do with all that criminals and Idiots millions of ill and sic people, after a short life of only 70 - 80 years in so called Heaven? - And nobody will get a second Chance, to repair what he has done on Earth ? That must be a complete Idiot of a God, people probably Christians are believing in. And on the latest day all the cadavers are coming out of the earth to sit on the right side of god...what a scenario from a Horror movie...\n\nThank God it is different.\nWe are living to learn and to grow in our consciousness. Millions of lives, in different Cultures, different sex, different skin coulours, different religions, we are coming again and a agin till we are perfect.
