'Dr. Death' Promotes Coffin Shaped Suicide Pod Invention Offering People a Quick Death - christianpost.com
---------------------------------
If a person is a Christian their sins - all of them - are covered by the blood of their Lord Jesus. That would also, in my opinion, include the "sin" of suicide. But the Bible says our hearts are deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9) and it is very possible to believe you are a Christian when in fact you are not. Here are some sermons I would recommended for anyone considering such a drastic act as taking their own life:
- Christians Get Depressed Too, by Dr. David P. Murray [Text: Psalm 42]
- Religion Without Regeneration: John Wesley's Testimony, by Rev. Ian Brown [Text: Matthew 7:21-23: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."]
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, by Jonathan Edwards (1704-1758)
The following quote is from Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) sermon:
"It would be dreadful to suffer this fierceness and wrath of Almighty God for one moment; but you must suffer it to all eternity. There will be no end to this exquisite horrible misery. When you look forward, you shall see a long forever, a boundless duration before you which will swallow up your thoughts, and amaze your souls, and you will absolutely despair of ever having any deliverances, any end, any mitigation, any rest at all; and you will know certainly that you must wear out long ages, millions and millions of ages, in wrestling and conflicting with this Almighty merciless vengeance; and then when you have so done, when many ages have actually been spent by you in this manner, you will know that it is all but a point to what remains. So that your punishment will indeed be infinite."
