What advice would you give to someone contemplating suicide?

This question is open to everyone.What advice would you give to someone contemplating suicide?
Tell them that God loves them very much and does not want them to harm themselves. All things in life are possible as long as you have Jesus in your life as your personal Savior.What advice would you give to someone contemplating suicide?
well, suicide is unfortunately almost always a bad decision. the result is permanent death, end of consciousness i.e. game over. no extra lives. it is a recurring issue for many human beings. this is due to the human being's flaw of assuming any given reality of consciousness is permanent. For instance the death of a loved one causes immense temporary pain that the being perceives to be endless.





However, you have to understand human bodies are machines that contain billions of years worth of evolutionary engineering. They are extremely valuable, and your mind contains billions of neurons with thousands of connections each. This is no small feat of engineering.





Therefore it is best to do away with the concept of suicide and focus on achieving potential. Whatever the storm is, it will pass.
Just happened to me last week. A friend rang up (seeking attention more than anything) and I knew the background to it, she rang to say she was phoning to say goodbye etc. We are both Christians so I said to her that if she decides to do that then she will burn in hell and she will never see her 3 children again - now I know that sounds harsh (I probably won't get a job as a counselor!) but it's true and it worked, she calmed down and listened to me. More importantly she didn't do it and is taking each day as it comes.





Life is just horrible sometimes and it's all too easy for certain people to wish to 'opt out' but that's not what will happen, we know that taking our own lives will more than liekly (although we cannot judge the persons heart or how our Lord will judge them) end up in hell.

I would ask them to reconsider carefully as they cannot reverse this decision, if they are sure that suicide is the only option, if they truly feel there is no way out, no way to fix their life. If they insist on killing themselves, I'm not going to stop them.
I would encourage them not to do it. If they could not make a promise of safety to me in that moment, I would encourage them to go to the nearest emergency room and tell the staff there of their suicidal thoughts so that they can receive appropriate care.
';Its the only decision you can't rethink.';








I wouldn't stop a suicide unless it was my own. I have no right to intervene, but I would say only what I think necessary.





I would change ';advice'; with different people.
Don't. Whatever this person has already been through and whatever battles they have fought will be for nothing. No one knows what's on the other side of suicide. It may be worse. Tell them to hang in there. It's almost done.

Because they will be asked on the judgment day about religion.
Give it a day. If life is truly that bad then how can it get any worse? Give it a day and see if the wind blows something your way.
Superglue your hands to your head, than hang yourself with piano wire, that way it'll look like you ripped your own head off.





asylum- yep, loved that one
They need to be hospitalized.
the problem with suicide is, there is no chance of thinking it over and saying, ';This sucks.';
Pray for strength to overcome your trials. Live the life God has given you.
Go and talk to someone, anyone who will listen.
