[Thread entitled 'Fundamentally dealing with suicide threats']

I think I can sum up the solution in one word.
Of course this one word is a pretty powerful one.

Gospel.
Yep The Gospel is the answer.

Is the threat of suicide sin? Yes.
Is the threat of suicide selfish? Yes
Does it disregard God's sovereignty? Yes
Does it violate the image of God? Yes
Does Christ's blood cover ALL of these sins? Yes!

This is the answer, not secular counseling.

I believe both the honesty about the sinfulness of the situation and the compassion and the love of Christ are both needed.
