1 | Is suicide a mortal sin? | 2 Sam 17:23 | reba762 | 42883 | ||
Does the Bible specifically say anything about it being a mortal sin to kill yourself or is that a "rule" we were taught as children? I am asking this in regards to the priest that committed suicide in Ohio and was given a full Catholic burial. I thought it was a mortal sin and you were damned to Hell for killing yourself. I looked up in Bible Gateway for the keywords: suicide, kill yourself, kill oneself, take your life, take ones life. I did not find anything on this subject. Thank you. |

2 | Is suicide a mortal sin? | 2 Sam 17:23 | Scribe | 42884 | ||
2 Samuel 17:23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. When you read of the examples of those that killed themselves in the Bible you will notice one thing all had issues that made them in a lost condition as it relates to salvation and eternal life before they killed themselves. We are saved by faith in the Lord, repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Rather than getting hung up on the logic of can a person be forgive of suicide (sense all sin can be forgive) it probably would be better to ask "can a person be saved without faith" of which there could hardly be any present in the act of suicide. God bless you in your Study of His Word. |
