1 | Can one who commits suicide be saved? | Ex 20:13 | HeirofGod | 469 | ||
God does not forgive suicide because the person who committed the sin can not ask for forgiveness afterwards. God can forgive you for commiting a murder to another person if you live to repent, but if there is no life left in your body to repent you are not forgiven. The bible says you have not because you ask not. If you can't ask you can't get it. | ||||||
2 | What if the individual is mentally ill? | Ex 20:13 | ScottA | 36493 | ||
What if the individual is mentally ill, such as schizophrenia, and does not have any concept of reality and actually believes that they are hearing God's voice saying that they must kill themself? Many people do not have the right use of their mind. | ||||||
3 | What if the individual is mentally ill? | Ex 20:13 | Hank | 36544 | ||
ScottA, what is your question? Are you asking whether a person who is severely mentally ill is held responsible for their bizarre behavior or erratic actions, such as, in your example, the taking of one's own life while under the delusion that God commanded him to? --Hank | ||||||
4 | Yes, Hank, that is what I am asking. | Ex 20:13 | ScottA | 37068 | ||
Yes. | ||||||
5 | Yes, Hank, that is what I am asking. | Ex 20:13 | Hank | 37120 | ||
ScottA, since I believe the Bible teaches the eternal security of the believer, the destiny of one who commits suicide, while sane or insane, depends not on the sinfulness of taking a life, whether it be one's own or someone else's life, but on whether that person was a regenerate believer. I would add, however, that it appears most unlikely that a truly regenerated believer would commit murder of any kind, by suicide or otherwise, so long as he retained his mental faculties. --Hank | ||||||
6 | Yes, Hank, that is what I am asking. | Ex 20:13 | wang | 40668 | ||
Dear Hank: I agree with you! God bless you. wang |
