My answer............................................................ Hello Churchladies 101, The only Christians that I know who believe that suicide is possible for a faithful Christian are people who have someone close to them who committed suicide (ie. father). I think that their belief is based more on their heart hoping that the person will be in heaven than on their mind's understanding of scripture. Scripture definately tells us not to murder, and killing yourself is murder and therefore sin. It is also a denial of God's goodness and control. When a person commits suicide, they are showing that they do not believe that God has a good plan for the rest of their natural life, or that he can't help them with whatever circumstances they are in. This kind of denial of God's very nature of love and omnipotence means that they are not a Christian at the point of death and are therefore not saved. The only exception to this idea would be people who are not mentally aware enough to even think through things (ie. senility or mental retardation). |

Greetings Sir Pent! You'll have to add one to the other side of the ledge! :-) I have never personally known anyone who committed suicide and I believe that the act of suicide alone is either evidence that a person is not a Christian or an act which would cause someone to 'lose' one's salvation. It is a sin, no more and no less. Just as Christians can tell a lie, cheat, gossip, get angry, it is also possible for them to committ this particular sin as well. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, I believe that you meant to say neither-nor in order to get counted on this other side of the ledger. I hope we aren't on the ledge ready to jump off. :) Isn't the English language great? From the heart, Ray |
