><>...Welcome friend...><> My dear brother Tony I can readily assure you that your brother will be judged with great mercy and unconditional love... Our most loving and all knowing Father in heaven is more than fair and just. He does not judge anyone to eternal condemnation, we judge ourselves by intentionally living a life of rebellion against and disobedience to, our loving Father...God Almighty. There are many circumstances in one's individual life in which we as children of God have no or little controls over, and only God knows those circumstances. Suicide is of course the taking of a life, which in fact we are told by God is forbidden,:ie Thou shalt not murder...having said that I must also remind you that there is only one unforgivable sin, and suicide is not it. Suicide is even in a different catagory from murder, in that the victim and the perpetrator are one and the same. A mudrer victim never gives permission to be murdered......on the contrary, a suicide victim by virtue of the act itself does give permission....More on this at another time..if you wish to discuss it at length. None of us actually knows what goes on in the mind of the person who is in great conflict with himself.(In many situations it is an act of mercy by the suicide victim...directd at his loved ones, believing he/she is relieving them of all thei burdens)...And no one really knows what the phisiological and chemical process is that takes place when one is driven to the point of suicide. There are many chemical imbalances that can change the normal process of an otherwise rational human being. And for this we cannot be held responsible.....and only God knows what an individual was really going through at that time in his/her life. Tony not one person who has died (since the beginning of time) is in hell.....No one has been judged yet but ....satan himself and his cohorts!!....All others who may have died in great sin are waiting to be judged. That day will not come until after the 1000 year reign of Christ, during which all those who have not made it because of unrepentance or other great sins will go through a time of teaching and great discipline. During this 1000 year reign of Christ, satan will be bound ( Rev 20:1-3) and his evil influence will not effect the teaching of the difference between the holy and the profane....Ez.44 tells us of this 1000 yr. reign and its purpose At the end of that 1000 yr period satan will again be let loosed in order to test those who have been taught the truths by God's hand picked Zadok..It is not until after that testing time that God will finally hold his great white throne judgment (Rev.20:11-15) It is at that time that those who have been deceived this one last time by satan will then be cast into the lake of fire....Not before. I do not believe that your brother will experience the second death, which is the death of the soul....I do not believe that he will be deceived a final time by satan...satan will not have his way with your brother again! Take heart my good friend Tony, Ezekiel 44 also tells us that we as family members may (if God so sees fit) go to our loved ones and help them overcome in the 1000 yr. reign of Christ..(Ez.44:25) which was provided by God for purposes of counteracting the evil effects of his enemy satan. This is by no means a second chance, it is for many their first chance at seeing the truth and light and love of our Father and His precious Son, our loving Savior Jesus the Christ. Tony I am sincerely burdened by your loss and feel your loving compassion for your brother and his deed.....but our God is an awesome God and the mercy and forgivness He has within Him is endless.....For we know not what was on the mind of your brother at that most terrifying moment in his life....for all we know he may at that moment already made his peace with his heavenly Father....and received full forgivness. May God bless you and your entire family and may the peace of knowing a most forgiving Father and a most precious Savior fill all your days. Love in our Precious Lord Jesus Shalom...><> Rom 9:15-16 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
