Christianity and Suicide

[Jesster]

I'm 100% sure that God exists, He has without doubt shown himself to me. What you believe is your choice, I can't nor would I try to make it for you.

Yes, I understand your beliefs there. You just seem to have an agenda here. If you don't actually care about convincing me of anything, I could always move on instead of replying to you anymore. I may be open minded, but I'm not going to waste my time if this isn't going anywhere. Up to you.

That is all Christ said I needed to do, show others why I believe. This is what I do here, I do not beat anyone over the head or shove it down their throats.

Then show me. So far all you are doing is telling me that you believe and not actually presenting any good reason. Like I said before, I am all ears. You just aren't telling me much so far.

I can't do anymore than give my reasons for my belief. What is it you would have me to do, give you proof of God, that's what He does when you come to faith in Him. I keep trying because I care even if you do not believe I do. God has said He will always be there for those who truly want to know Him. Like you have said others in there religions are devout and I agree, but it gets them nowhere because their faith is misplaced, could it be that back when you misplaced your faith for some reason and missed the actual call of God. You wouldn't be the first, many preachers have found they did after many years in the pulpit, most of them finial understood and gave themselves to God.

I don't care who reveals information to me. So far your god hasn't made anything clear to me even though I was a devout Christian for most of my life. That proof you are describing never came to me, so I can't identify with your claims at all. I wanted to know God, but it was a hopeless search. It had nothing to do with churches or pastors, since I studied religion on my own after they couldn't give me anything worthwhile. What would you suggest that I haven't already done? I can assure you that I am not going to waste my entire life looking. I've approached this honestly and earnestly for well over a decade already. To keep this close with the topic of the thread a bit more, I even came directly to religion when I was going through the worst of my suicidal struggles. All I ever got there was threats of damnation, but no actual help. I will thank the doctors who helped me instead.
