Trivia:
Who was Mark that the HOLY SPIRIT used to write the Gospel of Mark?
Mark was known as John Mark was a disciple [spiritual son] of Peter from whom he received firsthand accounts t provide the information he wrote. He was also a traveling helper and attendant of Paul and his cousin Barnabas [see Acts 13]. He was not one of the Twelve Disciples. The Gospel of Mark seemed to target newly believing Gentiles as its audience.
Terminology: Amillennialism

Tough Question: Is the suicide of a believer forgivable?
Answer: yes
Many in error say it is…however…It is not the unforgivable sin. There are many martyrs who intentionally gave up their lives in order to uphold their position of faith, including most of CHRIST’s disciples. The only sin that is unforgivable is blaspheming the HOLY SPIRIT. Is broken fellowship grounds for losing salvation, assuming a believer in a moment of extreme weakness commits willful non-heroic suicide? Has CHRIST only died for the sins we repented for before we accepted HIM? Now the counter is can a genuine Christian ever make the decision to take their life in the first place? I doubt they would.
Matthew 12:31-32 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. (32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Also, know as my Pastor teaches that suicide because of difficult problems is a permanent solution to a temporary problem…
Family…Give your burdens to the LORD, whose back was brutally braced by a cross to carry them. HE loves you and has made a way of escape. Your life is valuable…
Heavenly FATHER,
YOU are love and YOU are faithful! By the SPIRIT please touch and comfort those in extremely depressing and difficult situations. Please keep them from making rash decisions and grow them in faith. Please send a Word and encouragement any every form…human being, entertainment, something they see or hear or feel to break the depredating trance and bind the demonic spirit of suggestion and depression that they come to YOU. YOUR strength is made perfect in weakness. For YOUR yoke is easy and YOUR burden is light…YOU are worthy and YOU are life therefore life is beyond worth living. YOU understand their cries and dilemma…as my Sister Mo [Maurette Brown Clark] sings…It ain’t over, until YOU say its over, so we keep fighting until the victory is won!!! We thank YOU LORD for deliverance and victory in JESUS name…Amen
I love YOU and I love you
Brother Jeremy A. Maynard
