tame,
1. You friend, is arguing that the sin of suicide is a
"greater good", is going directly against St. Paul who
tells us the we may not do evil that good may abound.
2. in I Cor. handing the man over to Satan wa dis-
fellowshipping that (accordig to II Cor) led to
repentance and restoration. There is no repentance
from suicide.
3. The reason your friend feels so strongly is shame and
this shame is based of *pride*, not righteousness.
4. The feeling that one has sinned too much to be forgiven
is itself the sin of *despair* (I'm talking about the
*attitude*, not the emotion). God is never glorified
by despair.
5. That despair heaps insult on the Gospel and thus on
Christ because makes your friends sin greater than
Christ's sacrifice.
Can you let us know his first name for prayer???

There is no repentance from suicide.I never thought of it like that before, but of course you're correct.
Suicide is like demanding the ultimate last word over God.

An unregenerate heart seeks to make itself God. But should it be so that a saved man would do so I will say that I believe that all the sin of the saved is covered. Yes even this. There is no sin that the blood of Jesus is insufficent to atonement for .
