> > Hi Tepi. I've been doing some research like I said. I found out that the Bible doesn't say anything about if suicide is a mortal sin or not. But do you really want to take that chance? I sure don't! I know sometimes if feels like death would be so peaceful and you would get away from all your problems and depression. But the truth is that some people will go to heaven and some will go to hell. You really need to know where you stand with God, I mean even if you don't take your own life.....if you go out tomorrow and get hit by a car and you die, will you go to heaven? I really think that is the important thing - whether or not we have a relationship with Jesus. What do you think?

Above is the original post to this thread. There are questions that I have to the innitiator of the thread that I am awaiting answers to. In the meantime, the originator was posting to another member concerning suicide in relation to what the bible says or does not say. Also, {needing to know} is part of the post and also the {truth} , I guess, concerning what the bible teaches or not because {going to heaven or hell} is connected with it and the bible is mentioned.
One aspect of the post is concerning {hell} and {heaven} and the bible. I think that your last post has a connection to that in relation to what you describe as {thinking} about words and such as to how particular thinking could cause depression. Could you expound more on that?
