In short, yes.
In the beginning God created Man to live in relationship with him. Sin has ruined this relationship and created a barrier between us and God. Throughout history man has sought to bridge this gap through his own efforts, by being &#8216;good&#8217; or by abstaining from things in order to please God. This is [...]]]></description>

This may seem a strange post coming from a born again Christian, but I want you all to know that I hate religion.
Why, you may be wondering, isn&#8217;t this what you are living for, and all about?
Well, in a word No!
The Bible teaches clearly that we have been made to have a relationship with God, not [...]]]></description>

Weren&#8217;t people from around 300-1800 AD under a great deal of pressure to conform, or face persecution by Christians?
Persecution of Christians and Christian Persecution
Throughout Christian history there have been those who have been persecuted for proclaiming the good news of Christ. This is entirely to be expected, in fact Jesus himself said it would be [...]]]></description>

This is a really good question. The first thing I would ask is whether your Mum is someone who has just been brought up going to a Catholic church and goes occasionally to church or someone who actually lives out a personal relationship with God affecting every area of her life.
 
Faith alone, not by works

Committing suicide is a serious issue and for obvious reasons a very emotional one also. So what does God have to say on the matter?
