1 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | EdB | 106144 | ||
Tim The sin of suicide is to me is the fact that you did not have a saving relationship with Christ. Had you had such a relationship it would be impossible to suicide to begin with. Suicide is an act of desperation, done by desperate and hopeless people that is not a description of a Christian. If you look at my comments coming into this thread I said the question should not be can a person committing suicide be forgiven. I said the question really is, “would a saved person commit suicide.” I say no! EdB |

2 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | kalos | 106162 | ||
EdB: You write: "The sin of suicide is to me is the fact that you did not have a saving relationship with Christ. Had you had such a relationship it would be impossible to suicide to begin with." It is not clear to me what logic led to this conclusion. But, whatever it is, by the same logic we would have to conclude that: Any and every sin is [due to] the fact that you did not have a saving relationship with Christ. Had you had such a relationship it would be impossible to sin. Where does the Bible say that suicide (or murder) is different than every other sin? According to 1Co 6:18 (ASV): "Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." This verse differentiates between fornication and every other sin. But where does the Bible differentiate between suicide/murder and every other sin? --kalos |

3 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | EdB | 106170 | ||
I don't think I said that. I said sin is not the issue since the cross the issue is whether or not we have a relationship with Christ. He died for our sins, but we have to be in relationship for that salvation to exist. Yes I think there are things that true Christians would never considered doing. Suicide being one of them. 1 John 5:16-17 If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. [17] All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death. EdB |
