1 | Extension of original topic? | Matt 27:5 | tmjt21 | 125654 | ||
Thank you for sharing that Emmaus. I do not have a lot of knowledge about teaching and beliefs in the Catholic Church and it is good to read some. I'm a little more wiser. I guess now I need to find out where they came up with that and whether or not it is discussed in the Bible. Thanx again! me |

2 | "pray a fallen Christian into Heaven." | Matt 27:5 | tmjt21 | 125651 | ||
I'm really not trying to delve into the Catholic religion with this question. I am more asking anyone what their beliefs are on being able to "pray a fallen Christian into Heaven." I know that I typed this under the suicide topic and maybe I shouldn't have, but the real issue the previous statement. And just to clear this part up also, I will re-explain it. It really isn't an issue for only someone committing suicide. They believe this can be done with anyone that has fallen away and at that time died in some way. And it might not even come from anything they have been taught in their church. Meaning it could come from something other that her Catholic beliefs. EdB, Thank you for that last paragraph. That is a very good point and should be kept in mind often. I do not think their belief is rooted in hope of one they has lost. It is a belief that they said would hold up to the Bible for anyone. I am having them research and get back to me. me |

3 | Extension of original topic? | Matt 27:5 | tmjt21 | 125609 | ||
I'm not sure how this is going to go over, but this topic just came up between a friend of mine (that goes to a catholic church, but also calls herself a Christian) and me. That part is not the issue, b/c I do believe she has a personally life with Christ and is living her life to be fruitful for Christ. But in talking about this topic, "can a saved person committ suicide" she mentioned in the converstaion that she believes that if a person is saved, committs suicide or dies in anyway and has turned away from God, that they will go to hell. BUT, if believers pray enough for that person, they can get that person into heaven. I have never heard this before until now. So I am trying to test it against the Bible b/c I believe that it is the only way to prove or disprove anything. Let me know if I need to be clearer. If I have been clear enough, then I thank anyone for taking the time to help me out here. Take care and God Bless all of you! me |

4 | Bible's view on suicide? | Matt 27:5 | tmjt21 | 125608 | ||
Justme, Thanx for your response. And I do believe there are two sides to every coin, just like there are more than likely always going to be atleast two different points of view. I was not praising JCrichton's response as being the one and only answer and that it is 100 percent true. I was thanking him for taking the time to be so in depth with his answer and taking the time to respond so fully. Just like I will thank you for taking the time also. Just a little information on myself, I am a teacher and deal with this kind of issue on a regular basis. Not often is it that I can come to the child with Biblical context, nor do I think it is very often the right choice. We need to come at them with love and understanding at meet them at their level. I have been in the depths many times and know that God was working inside of me b/c I have no idea how I did not committ suicide. But those days are in the past and my life is solely for the will of God. Before i go into my response I do want you to know that I am just in conversation with a friend about this topic, I do not know someone right now that has told me they are thinking of suicide. But in reply to your response, I am not sure I understand what you are saying. To me it sounds like if a Christian decides to committ suicide that they are going to heaven, Jesus is just going to be "a little more unhappy" with us. That is kinda giving us a free exit from the world, we just might not have as many treasures in heaven. Am i not suppose to be seaking and trusting God more when I am in the pits that He is at work in my life and it is all going to work out according to His will? Am i understanding you the right way? That it is okay because I am down and out and under a lot of emotional stress that I can end my life and enter Heaven's gates and spend eternity with the Holy One? What Christian doesn't want to leave this world and get to Heaven? I am SO ready to go! But of course I believe I am called by God to do mighty things for His Kingdom before i go "home". So that is the focus of my life. Thanx again for taking the time. me |

6 | Once saved, always saved? | Matt 27:5 | tmjt21 | 125523 | ||
That was awesome and thank you for taking the time to respond that in depth. I really want to go into this with enough information, and in talking to my friend, they are coming back with "once saved, always saved". So once someone has repented, asked God to forgive them and asked God into their heart they are bound to heaven regardless of their relationship with Him or how they live their life. I do have some information, but would like to go in with more. Is their a link someone could give me more information on this topic? Thanx again to anyone for responding. | ||||||

What does the Bible say about suicide? I have been looking all over trying to find some information to share with someone about suicide not being an easy escape to heaven, but keep coming up empty. Does anyone have any insight on this topic or somewhere I could be sent to find out more on this topic. Thanx. | ||||||
