If God never?

Question

If god never gives anyone more than they can handle,then why do so many people commit suicide?

Answer 1

Because God gave them more then they could handle

Answer 2

i have asked this question myself. but not on Q&A

there are several levels of understanding that have to be described and defined to get a true answer.

First of all not all suicides are true suicide accidents. a simple suicide letter at any crime scene can be dropped and if no other evidence is found or covered up its automatic. People die all the time in homocide activity and are classified as a suicide.
You also have to consider whether a person is truly being managed and led by God, or if a person is in utter rebellion. A person who is drugged and poisoned even medicated on prescription drugs under a doctors care are more prone to fall into deep suicidal thoughts. So if a drug company will admit that their drug actually causes depression and suicidal thoughts imagine what would happen if a person is literally drugged against the persons will?
Without God, people can be possessed as well, Men who practice forbidden black magic can also do things to the mind.
there are so many other things that preclude God by personal choice.
if God walks away from someone because that person has refused to follow Him and follows satan instead, there is no protection and divine guidance. if people follow satan there is no promise to them that they wont suffer at all. Satan in known for terrorizing people through fear and torture in order to force people into his demented way of repentance.

Answer 3

Some people need more help than what God can give. Like physical counseling, or medicine to balance chemicals in there brain. Sometimes people don't believe that God can help either. But being a person who has lost a loved one to suicide, I believe that at that very moment when they decide to do it, going to God will be easier than trying to live with the hurt.

Answer 4

Not everyone trusts God. When you don't trust God's sovereignty, it is easy to become overwhelmed to the point of despair. When that happens, suicide is considered an option.

When someone trusts God with their life, anything that happens is considered "Father-filtered." A Scripture that reinforces this is: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

Jesus even mentioned that we would have trouble. He also said that we could still have faith in the midst of it. "I have told you this so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble, but be courageous-I have overcome the world!" (John 16:33)

Since we have these promises, we should not be surprised when crap hits the fan, and we should also trust that when it does, something good can still come out of it.

Answer 5

I see from the believer answers that the Teflon God is alive and well.

From what I glean from their answers, anyone who endures has had god's help but those who fail either rejected god's help or are under Satan's control.

Apparently no true believer has ever comitted suicide, that's what they seem to be saying, right ?

So in this way god has no plausibility

Now i see where Bush gets his ideas

Answer 6

God gives you the ability to make choices. He does not control which choice you make.

People commit suicide becaue they BELIEVE that they can't handle things. They CHOOSE not to find that strength to go on

Answer 7

Your dealing with a common misquotation out of context.
The actual text deals only with temptation and resisting temptation, not with everything that might happen to someone.

1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Resisting temptation, like say to fornicate, is always within our power because we always have a choice to keep our pants on. Resisting manic depression and despair is not always within our power.

Someone may say suicides didn't resist temptation to kill themselves, but the context of the passage in the chapter is resisting lust and sexual sin.

Answer 8

as people say god works in mysterious ways you've got to remember god gave humankind free will and if it comes to that point in someones life where they no longer wish to live then it's there decision not god's.

Answer 9

god encourages suicide

Answer 10

I think you are talking about no man is tempted more than he can bare. I do not know what connection that has with suicide? Suicide is not a tempation.
