Subject: Can one who commits suicide be saved? |
Bible Note: Everyone is missing my point here. Instead of trying to define what we can and can not do to keep our fat out of the fire I’m trying to show what matters is the condition of our heart. The Pharisees kept the law not because of their love for God and fellow man but rather as fire insurance. Their keeping the law was in a way self righteousness they were depending on their actions to show them sinless. Our salvation does not depend on our sinless state but rather on the relationship we have with Christ. Read Rev 20:15 not one person is placed in the Lake of Fire because they sinned they are there because their name wasn’t written in the Lamb’s Book of life. In other words they weren’t in relationship with Christ. He didn’t know them. I’m saying we do not keep from sin because we’re afraid of burning but rather because of our relationship with Christ. It is that relationship that precludes a true Chrsitian from committing of suicide. EdB |
