Does the subject of Jesus actually have a converse effect on you, making you depressed, hopeless, and suicidal
930269
does not a "converse" effect mean that you want to talk - making it far less likely that you would be depressed, hopeless or suicidal?

Jesus was an OK guy.  He believed that we should love one another.  It's the Christians that are really annoying.  Too often they think they have all the answers and it usually goes, "Jesus is the answer!" But what is the question?  Furthermore, when there is no doubt, there is no need for further inquiry, brain atrophies and emotions elicit violent anger when "true beliefs" are confronted by empirical evidence.  Intolerant certainty leads to arrogance, haughtiness, condescension, and self-righteousness.  I do not want to spend eternity with brain dead Christ fans.

Who cares what Christians or anybody else says, the truth  I know is  when I was going to commit suicide,  I shuck my fist up to heaven and cried out to a God that I knew nothing about, and God in my life changed my life. So you want to know about my God, he's my Father that loves me and wants me to talk to him daily to be able to keep me free from the torment that is in this world.His word promises me a sound mind and I cherish that.

You profile says "life sucks but if God is with you its not so bad" maybe you need to repeat that to yourself a couple times.  My grandma always said God will never give you more than you can handle.  Whether you believe in God or not, suicide is not the answer. I think you know that or you would not be asking us about suicide methods.  You obviously want us to stop you from making a horrible mistake you could never take back.

Yes.  It defines not only who you are, but how you will be spending eternity.  It allows for a relationship with God.  Acceptance or rejection of the sacrifice Jesus made is the ultimate question.  The answer will change your life forever, either way you choose to answer.

It doesn't\n\nSuicides—A Resurrection?\n\nTHE tragic news of a suicide does not close a chapter in the lives of relatives and friends; it opens one—a chapter of mixed feelings of pity and anger, sorrow and guilt. And it raises the question: May we entertain any hope for our friend who took his or her life?\n\nAlthough self-inflicted death is never justified, never righteous, the apostle Paul did hold out a beautiful hope for even some unrighteous ones. As he told a Roman court of law: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15. \nMany theologians have long dismissed any suggestion that the resurrection of the unrighteous might offer hope for those who commit suicide. Why?\n\nCenturies ago, churchmen introduced a non-Biblical concept: immortal souls that leave the body at death and go straight to heaven, purgatory, Limbo, or hell. That concept clashed with the Bible’s clear teaching of a future resurrection. As Baptist minister Charles Andrews asked: “If the soul is already blissfully in heaven (or is already justifiably roasting in hell), what need is there for anything further?” He added: “This inner contradiction has remained to plague Christians throughout the centuries.”\n\nOne result of such errant theology was that “since Augustine’s time [354-430 C.E.], the church has condemned suicide as a sin,” says Arthur Droge in the Bible Review, “a sin beyond redemption, just like apostasy and adultery.”\n\nJesus told a criminal sentenced to death: “You will be with me in Paradise.” The man was unrighteous—a lawbreaker rather than a distraught suicide victim—guilty by his own frank admission. (Luke 23:39-43) He had no hope of going to heaven to rule with Jesus. So the Paradise in which this thief could hope to come back to life would be the beautiful earth under the rule of Jehovah God’s Kingdom.—Matthew 6:9, 10; Revelation 21:1-4.\n\nFor what purpose will God awaken this criminal? So that He mercilessly can hold his past sins against him? Hardly, for Romans 6:7, 23 says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin,” and “the wages sin pays is death.” Although his past sins will not be accounted to him, he will still need the ransom to lift him to perfection.\n\nOnly God can fully understand the role of mental sickness, extreme stress, even genetic defects, in a “suicidal crisis,” which, the National Observer noted, “is not a lifetime characteristic [but] often a matter only of minutes or of hours.”\nGranted, one who takes his own life deprives himself of the opportunity to repent of his self-murder. But who can say whether one driven to suicide might have had a change of heart had his fatal attempt failed? Some notorious murderers have, in fact, changed and earned God’s forgiveness during their lifetime.\nThus, Jehovah, having paid “a ransom in exchange for many,” His Son, is within his right to extend mercy, even to some self-murderers, by resurrecting them and giving them the precious opportunity to “repent and turn to God by doing works that befit repentance.”\n\nThe Scriptures encourage us to see ourselves, not as immortal souls, but as valuable creations of the God who loves us, who treasures our being alive, and who looks forward with joy to the time of the resurrection.\n\n4000 years had passed from Adam & Eve, Jesus said to a Religious Leader that no one had gone to Heaven, and millions of people had passed away in death. This is a quote from the King James Bible: \n\nJohn 3:13 " And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven," \n\nIt seems to me, this would eliminate the "immortal soul" belief, not only that, if you go to Heaven or Hell when you die, you completely do away with the resurrection that the Bible speaks about, because the resurrection is suppose to take place after Jesus comes the second time, and that has

Technically it would fall under the definition of suicide.  Suicide includes things like a soldier sacrificing his life for the sake of others.  So, if Jesus was indeed a god omnipotent omniscient god, then he would have known that by doing certain things he would bring about his own earthly death (kinda like suicide by cop).  I doubt you'll get any christians who will admit that it can be called a suicide.

No. You have to believe you are a born sinner, confess your sin, believe in your heart that Jesus died for you , accept him into your life and heart, and THEN confess it with your mouth. Just saying it doesn't mean anything. Lots of people say it, but without the belief behind it, its just words, and cant save you.

Yeah its definitely about Jesus Christ.  "For he's my rock, my refuge" That's from the psalms.  And they talk about Jesus dieing on the cross for all of mans' sins in the last paragraph.  I like it alot

It is okay if you think I am nuts but here goes.I talk to God by prayer, sometimes silently and sometimes outloud. God talks to me occassionaly at His time frame, In other words I don't have to be in a prayerful or spiritual mood for Him to speak. I cannot explain it but when He speaks to me, it is not silent in my head and it is not audible so that others can hear it but it is clearly audible to me.So yes, I have a relationship with Him. I also can feel His prescense in my life.Look to John 8:47,& 10:26-30 Jesus stated my sheep hear my voice and they know me(Jesus) and follow me. God may not communicate with everyone the same as He does with me but if you do not hear His voice in some manner then you don't know Him. My relationship with Him indeed started out as faith but you are correct in the change that takes place. I cannot prove this relationship to anyone but to me it is fact. You can not achieve fact without first having faith.

Elis, Some here get it some don't.  You have to accept Jesus in you heart first. have you?   Ask him to reveal himself to you.  Go to his word " Bible"  He will speak to you.  If you are looking for the truth and you are already seeking God you might already have the answer, you just need to know what his voice sounds like.  Im praying for you.

Yes I have, when I was depressed.  Don't worry about whether or not it's a sin - you've got other things to sort out.

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior?  If not it may because you are feeling the death of your soul.\n\nI always thought about death, I could see it in others and felt it in myself. Then I made the decision to let God into my life and what was amazing was how quickly God began talking to me.  Once I experienced the feeling that I wasnt alone and God was with me at all times, my stress levels went way down, and my world switched from a dull gray to a colorful existence.\n\nThough I can still see death in the eyes of strangers, I see new life in the ones I pray for, and I feel as alive as a child in an amusement park!

From one who has attempted suicide twice--your revelation is wacko.  We can't know something God doesn't want us to know.  God is omnipotent (all powerful).  You can't out think God.  And by the way most weird revelations, if they don't match up with the word of God are straight from Satan himself.  People commit suicide because they fell hopeless and helpless and Satan wants them to feel that way.  He wants you dead.

If you push it on people you are a Jesus freak and no one will listen. If you are truly at peace with yourself and your world, then people will ask YOU why. That is your chance.
