Well I think there needs to be much more study into the role of faith in salvation and what is the gift of faith. I think there must be confusion in this understanding among all of us. Because we are all "all over the place" with ideas on this subject. Or perhaps it's the way we word things. I know for a fact that there are trigger words that set us all off when they do not "fit" our way of thinking. As soon as we hear them, we are no longer on board with open hearts and ears. I have tried to learn what they are for different people, so I don't use those words with them, but it takes times to discover them. Plus I'm learning my own triggers and asking God to help me not to react.
Even though I feel at peace with my understanding at this moment, I'm open to more study and discussion...but I'm afraid that the mention of suicide is almost always a discussion stopper due to not being certain how deep one can go into such a discussion. For I don't wish to cause added grief to anyone, but I think this issue is in need of discussion for all of our sakes. I would like to find balance in all of this because I think everyone understands a piece of the truth, but perhaps not all of it, the way God had intended.
