Yes, it's a sin. You're supposed to take care of yourself so you can take care of your family and contribute to the community and nation. Someone post that Timothy verse.

>>787322

I found it

>“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”

1 Timothy 5:8

If you hate your life so much, join the military and tell the CO to send you on a suicide mission.

I know you won't.

Self hatred is still hatred and will land you on the gravy train to hell

Repent before it is too late, OP.

>>787320

Major sin, like you're technically just stopping short of suicide. Why would you act like that unless you share in all too worldly self-loathing or believe that your body exists just to give your brain a dopamine high?

>>787333

Checked and trinitarian

I'm sorry it took so long for me to reply.

>>787322

I'm a huge burden on my family, I don't want to cause them any more stress.

>>787333

Even if I did manage to cheat my way past the psych-tests, I'd be too incompetent and weak as a soldier, the only soldiers from my country that face combat are skilled ones. And I don't think hating myself is a sin if the hate is well deserved.

>>787426

I do hate myself. I am tired of life and I dread living for possibly decades more.

I'm sorry for even making this thread, it's more about my self-loathing than it is about doctrine, I should have posted in the feels thread instead.

Self-loathing is a form of hubris. Get a job, move out, make new friends, sort your life out.

This is like a boomer + Jordan Peterson platitude. We all struggle with sin and you're basically giving a glib "get over it" comment.

>>788113

I don't know anon so I can't give specific advice. My comment serves as a general nudge, nothing more or less. Anon's life is his responsibility, not mine.

>>788113

you have to get over it though

>>788109

Thank you.

>I don't think hating myself is a sin if the hate is well deserved.

Well, that's the thing. It IS a sin, because it's never deserved. We are God's creation, made in his image, How could self-destruction ever make sense given that? Jesus himself says on numerous occasions, that our own self judgement is one of the biggest barriers keeping us from reaching the kingdom of God. He accepts the lowest of the low (murderers, rapists, prostitutes, etc) just as much as he accepts the Saints, so what makes you think you're so special that you don't deserve any self respect?

If you feel you're a burden on your family, either they're the sinners in the wrong for making you feel that way, or you're misinterpreting your own situation to make it seem worse than it actually is. Instead of feeling like a burden, you should acknowledge how generous God is for providing you a family that's supporting you, even when even you don't see your own value. And don't forget that God's plan is never just about you, it's about everyone. Your purpose in being here may just be for the sake of having your family support you, and here you are thinking about screwing God's plan up for them.

>>787323

It sounds like that's about helping your family, not taking care of your own health.

>>787320

Keep in mind OP, it is possible that God could bless you with a peaceful passing in your sleep if you live to a healthy old age. If instead you abuse your body, you will most likely die a slow, agonizing death, which will only increase the burden on your family.

I believe you would benefit from a hardworking job doing manual labor. You would also benefit from increased prayer, spiritual reading, and reflection, as would we all.

DO NOT go down this route. I have permanent pain from extreme sports.
