1 | Bible's view on suicide? | Matt 27:5 | Morant61 | 125593 | ||
Greetings EdB! That has been my point all along. This issue is simply too complex, and Scripture too silent to make broad and dogmatic statements about it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Bible's view on suicide? | Matt 27:5 | EdB | 125594 | ||
Tim Your right but I certainly wouldn't tell someone there is a chance of getting into heaven by committing suicide. I would clearly say to a true Christian suicide is not an option. If I was consoling the loved one of someone that committed suicide I would say we do not know how God looked upon their situation and what all the circumstances were. We do know God is a just God and so we have to hope God in His mercy will admit them into heaven. I think anything else is presumptive and not ours to say. Let me say also and I'm not aiming this at anyone in particular especially you Tim. To those that want to say once saved always saved and no sin is unforgivable be careful the blood of those that followed your advice and went to hell may rest upon your head. I know that is a very harsh way of saying it, but scripture tells us we will account for every word we say. And I think before we start making suicide any kind of option even in a philosophical discussion such as this we need to understand people often are looking for agreement before they follow through with their plans. If putting that at someone’s feet bothers them then they might be wise remaining silent on issues of life and death. EdB |

3 | Bible's view on suicide? | Matt 27:5 | Morant61 | 125607 | ||
Greetings EdB! I would counsel much as you just said as well my friend. And, I certainly don't believe in 'once saved, always saved' as my many posts indicate! :-) Nor, would I defend suicide. At the very least, it is robbing God of the right to minister through one's life to others. My concern was not to defend suicide as an option, but to defend against broad dogmatic statements that lack Scriptural support. While I would not advise someone to commit suicide, nor would I tell someone whose loved one had commited suicide that they are definitly now burning in Hell. Well, I've work to do now! I'll chat with you later my friend! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
