Bible Question: Yes. |
Bible Answer: 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 |
