Kyle,

If your brother sins, rebuke him, if he repents, forgive him. (Luke 17:3

IMO, the short answer to your question is "no" for three reasons.

(1) If he had repented and asked forgiveness, the Amish could only have forgiven him for their own personal grief over the loss of their children.

(2) The fact is that he has murdered or stopped the mouths of the only people (the girls) that could forgive him for the crime itself. (This is what makes murder the heinous crime that it is in the first place)

(3) Since he has committed suicide,(another murder) he is not even able to repent and ask his offended God for forgiveness.

Romans 3:22-24

I think I'm in agreement with you, Denny. I would ask, however, whether you believe suicide can be forgiven by God under any circumstance? Is it possible that a child of God could fall into such depths of despair because of the devil's lies that he commits suicide?

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
