take your life. Would he do it? If your wondering about me I might as well tell you, recently I have been thinking about suicide. Why? I'm tired of feeling like I want to have sex and being a slave to the opposite sex. I'm tired of worrying about Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I'm tired of struggling with school, which eventually will happen in college once I get there in about 6 months. Maybe not the first two years, but I know definately the last two years.

Well, actually suicide is not going to keep you out of Heaven.
Religious empires have all adopted in their doctrines that suicide is a sin. Why? They don't want to lose a member of their empire.
Actually, the reason we know that suicide is not a sin. Jesus, with the power to prevent and the power to escape crucifixion, selected to sucuumb to death. Probably to put an exclamation point on his career. And, probably because he had accomplished his mission and he was home sick to get back to his home planet (Heaven) (I think not for the reasons Paul said in order to throw a butch of mumbo jumbo on prospective members of his church, his empire, his delusions)
Back on point:
If you are going to commit suicide, maybe we had better discuss Jesus' method of allowing you to get to Heaven.
Jesus said, "Forgive others when they make mistakes. If you do not forgive others, then your father in Heaven will not forgive you."
So, before you commit suicide, make sure that you have forgiven everyone who has ever hurt you.
Sorry about this. If you hold a grudge, or have a tendency not to forgive people, you would not make a good neighbor to the harmony-loving people in Heaven. --
Forgiving others is a very difficult thing to do. But, it seems you just must do it , especially since you plan on commiting suicide.
Of course, you may find that after you have forgiven those who have hurt you, you will not want to go to Heaven, yet.

Sucide is never an answer to anything. I thought about it several years ago when my husband walked out on me. I had to start over and felt like I was worthless and useless. But when I think about my life now, I realize that I would've missed out on so much that God has helped me overcome and deal with.
The whole sex thing..."I can do all things with God who give me strength." Philippians 4:13. I haven't had sex for 9 years and I really liked sex with my husband. God can help you overcome anything.
The school thing...college is a whole different ball game. You'll be taking classes that interest you and you'll have choices with those classes. I went to college after my husband divorced me and I graduated with a 3.8 GPA. And I hated high school and barely had the grades to graduate.
My answer to you: Hang in there. Remember that every day is new with no mistakes in it and God is waiting to help you. You take the first step toward healing and He will help you. Find a pastor or someone you can talk to and let them give you some spiritual guidance.
Where there's life there is hope. When you take that away, you destroy all of the good that God will do with your life. If you are a Christian then you have to know that your life is not your own, but it belongs to God. It is His to choose when he will call you home. If you pull that out of God's hands then you will miss a tremendous blessing. Hold on to God. Read his Word and talk to him. I'll say a prayer for you.

When you pray you must do so in FAITH, knowing that God will answer your prayer. You must also recognize that answer when it come. It may or may not be what YOU are expecting. You must ask that it be according to God's holy will (not yours). Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If you really need additional help, get on the telephone and call the hotline. There is much help available. Just ask. You have a long life ahead of you and by mere fact that you are here asking this question it means that God has plans for you. He is not finished with you. You are a work in progress. Praise God!

Well God is the only one who can take life away - It seems you're struggling with some things in life - but you know God's mercy and grace can make you happy - just give your "all" to him. He can change every situation.
How do you know that suicide is not a sin - God does not want you to do that. If you do that you'll be sorry after that and there's no way back to earth.
seek God and you'll find him - you will have a better life, it does not mean that you won't have problems, but you'll have someone by your side that will help you in everything you need.

If you really believed in God, I don't think that you would be considering suicide. You sound like you have been spoonfed false teaching. I'm sorry, but that's what it sounds like. You say that suicide is forgivable. Maybe it is, I can't say for sure, but if you really appreciated what Jesus did in payment of sin you wouldn't be seeking out to do sin. You would hate your sin cuz it's what put him up there on the cross for you. You need to do some serious prayer and seeking a live person to talk with about this. God will answer your prayer, but it will most likely be a "no!"

Hard question. When you're feeling down and depressed and overwhelmed by the sin of the world...look to God for support and he can make you feel better! Read the bible and you can find strength in the Lord. He has a plan for you and it isn't right for you to take your life because that would interfere with God's plan. If you struggle with sin.... surround yourself with Christian friends. Find a good church and be around other Christians and look to them for support. If something is a stumbling block for you... try to avoid it. When the world starts to feel overwhelming and too sinful...just look to God and he will know what to do. Have faith that he will take care of everything...and pray to him every chance you get. College can be difficult but just go to the bible for strength and remember to stay involved and form strong bonds with other Christians.

Bro, I believe every people have a potential to be bright and shining.
And I'm pretty sure eventhough people think that you'are miserable and have a trouble life, I know that deep inside you are a person capable of being a successfull and shine. To be the head and not the tail. To be above and not beneath. This is what God already given to his children.
I pray that you know your position, and not easily believe in what Devil speak in your head. Devil always try to make u unworthy, selfpity, miserable, while God do the opposite.
HEAVEn is never and never intended to be your final destination. It's wrong to think that Heaven is the final destination for human to end their life. No. Your biggest asset for God is not while you already dead (and go to heaven). But Your biggest value and worth to God's kingdom is HERE, on earth, while you still living.
You still young and you have the fullest potential to make an impact, to your society, to your neighbourhood, to make difference in the world. And as a youth who have a big dream and purpose, you are far more dangerous to satan than a 70th y.o man who only stay in bed near death.
You have the potential to be rich, to make alot of money, and to give life to other poor people around you. You can change the country u live by your power. And by your hand, God can save many more people's life. Satan know this, and that's why he dont want you to know what you're capable of.
That's why it's good to surround yourself with positive people, with positive attitude, and the positive spirit, so they can help you, bring you up, and make you to always remember what God has planned for you.

He might. All prayers are answered sometimes the answer is no because we ask amiss. As far as your wicked thoughts are concerned read the Bible. It is the Word of God by which we are sanctified. In John 17 the Lord prayed "sanctify them by Your truth Your word is truth". Also blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is a life long rejection of God.

No; G-d will not take your life. You sound depressed, discouraged & in despair.
You need to find some friends. You also need to find some sort of hobby or outlet to take your mind off stress right now.
Your life is beyond compare, & in time, as you stay faithful, you will see that you are a gentle, loving person with integrity & a good conscience.
Can you begin journaling? It is helpful to express what is going on inside. I keep mine on my compter.
Another thing you can do is...keep posting. Reach out. Ask for help, like you just did here. You may not get a lot of positive support, but you DID reach out, & that is good.
If you want; feel free to email me or chat through my 360 page.

Depends if it was time for your life to be gone. And suicide is never actually mentioned in the Bible. Killing yourself however is murder and you won't be able to ask for forgiveness if you are dead. That is where the entire Suicide being an unforgiveable sin is. I would suggest instead of praying for God to take your life, pray for God to help you through your situation. I'll be praying for you so you should pray to yourself.
