@the-inkspiller Not sure why I didn’t get a notification that you tagged me…

Um, so thoughts…

Prefacing this with the statement that I’m not 100% comfortable giving someone advice/suggestions of this nature because I’m not completely confident in my understanding of God’s word yet.

NOT that I’m not confident in what I believe. That’s not what I mean. I’m just not sure I’m versed enough quite yet.

Someone mentioned that they wondered if there’s any sin that can’t be forgiven. The sin of blasphemy (making God in his holiness equal to Satan in his evil) is one. As far as I know and believe, it’s the only one that can’t be forgiven. (Really, we shouldn’t be using the word “can’t”, because God can do anything, but that’s a little bit beside the point.)

If I’m correct in believing that blasphemy is the only sin that won’t receive forgiveness, then the sin of suicide is one than can receive forgiveness. However, I also believe that to be forgiven of a sin, one must pray to God, confess the sin, truly be sorry, and try one’s very best not to ever make that sin again. When one commits suicide, it’s not possible for them to pray to God for forgiveness. Because they’re dead. So, I think (and I could be wrong; I readily admit that) that your character should realize that if she commits suicide, she won’t be forgiven of that, even though “technically” (using quotation marks because that’s not quite the right use of the word) the only sin that can’t receive forgiveness is that of blasphemy.
