Bible Question: Can one who commits suicide be saved? |
Bible Answer: Samson killed himself,is in Hebrews hall of faith In Judges 16:28 Samson prayed to the Lord to give him strength to get revenge on the Philistines for gouging out his eyes. He said, "Let me die with the Philistines" and apparently God granted his request, because he pushed the pillars with all his might and the house fell on himself and 3000 plus Philistines - killing them and himself. So Samson committed suicide (Judges 16:30) and He is in the Hebrews hall of faith (Heb 11:32) included in the list with "Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets".
