Please point me to the scripture that specifically says that if an individual commits suicide they are going to hell. I’ll wait.....
That priest is lost.
God forgives (repentance) while we’re alive. You can’t repent once you leave this Earth.
The catholic religion is lost. Confessing sins to another human is not biblical. Only God/Yah can forgive sin.
And that “kid”, assuming teen? was at an accountable age. In other words, he was as old enough to know better. Once you’re aware of sin you’re responsible/ accountable.
I understand that God says he cannot give us more than we can bear, but what if the suffering you’re experiencing is so intense? Won’t he understand that it’s just too much for you to handle?One of the promises God gives is peace. He promises to renew our minds, give us strength, and a plan for us. This is for everyone. If you kill yourself, you’re doubting God’s plan and rejecting his promise. I’m not talking about extreme life/death situations.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ESV
Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Ecclesiastes 7:17 ESV
Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Jeremiah 29:11 ESV
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
I understand that God says he cannot give us more than we can bear, but what if the suffering you’re experiencing is so intense? Won’t he understand that it’s just too much for you to handle?
God knows everything that happens before it happens right?... so why would he give someone such a horrible life knowing at one point their going to take it, and basically trash that person by sending them to “hell”... this is why I despise Christians their false narratives of god actually make him look like a total asshole..
Doesn't matter how old you are, or what kind of life you had. If you kill yourself your going to burn in the pits of hell forever.
So if a ten year old kills themselves, they go to hell.
I mean.... Doesn't this seem bad to anyone? I mean..... Does anyone have a problem with this?
I don’t believe there is a hell.
This narrative was created by old white men to control everyone, Hell and the grave used to scare me so much when I was young, why would you even teach kids things like that? ugh
There's no such thing as sin, God, heaven, and hell.
