To answer the question posed.....NO, God DOES NOT excuse certain sins. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. To say He excuses certain sins would be to say that God made a mistake. Murder is murder. Suicide is murder. Murder is a sin.

I have to agree.
Well meaning sin is still sin.

"Normal" people can tell you to "get over it" or "things will get better" but if you've never dealt with it, you really don't know how bad things can get.

True, but I truly believe that if you have the HG living inside of you you can overcome these things.

I think the Father knows why we are doing what we are doing. Yes, we are taking matters into our own hands, but is that any different than us doing so in any situation?
We take matters into our own hands all the time.

Think of how depressed you might be if you were put into a facility that is not your home where you are subjected to people coming into your room whether you want them to or not, you can't have certain items due to lack of space or a safety issue, you eat when they tell you to eat and what they tell you to eat, bring you pills constantly, tell you when to potty and go to bed......and that's just a small piece of the life of someone who is no longer able to care for themselves.
Knowing what I know, I can easily see how someone would take the life of someone they love, knowing they wouldn't want to live that way...and take their own life due to failing health and knowing what they will have to face if they continue living.

Yes, it is very sad.

And a lie is a lie, right?
Explain why Rahab was blessed for hiding spies then lying about it. That action made her part of the direct lineage of Jesus Christ, even though she was a harlot.

We can get over all kinds of ailments and illnesses, but only if God wills it. Sometimes, we have to live and deal with situations.
