1 | Suicide: a question on sin | 1 Cor 6:20 | Bald Tom | 160730 | ||
I understand that you cannot get to Heaven thru suicide. But if a person contracts cancer (naturally) and refuses treatment in order to leave this evil world, how would God see that? | ||||||
2 | Suicide: a question on sin | 1 Cor 6:20 | Hank | 160731 | ||
Dear Tom - Suicide is by definition self-murder, and the Sixth Commandment says, "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13. But I would like to ask you the source and exact meaning of your statement, "I understand that you cannot get to Heaven thru suicide." One's views on whether eternal life is truly eternal, a gift of God's grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8) or whether it is contingent on works for its continuance certainly would affect one's thinking about the security of the salvation of the believer. ..... As for the question of accepting or refusing medical treatment, I cannot speak for God! The best I can do is relate to you how I dealt with this issue personally. Ten years ago after a second heart attack, I was given strong medical advice to undergo quadruple by-pass surgery. I did. Two years ago I was again strongly advised by a team of cardiologists to have a defibrillator installed. I did that too. Now, past 70, I feel fine, am not disabled, and enjoy life to the fullest. ...... My body is not my own and who am I to decide when and how it will die? The Scripture says, "For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:30, NKJV). --Hank | ||||||
