Subject: Can one who commits suicide be saved? |
Bible Note: Dear Makarios, I'm sorry, I'm a little unclear as to what you are saying. Are you saying that a person who IS saved and commits suicide will STILL be saved? That is what I believe. If that is what you are saying, I'm not sure how Matt 12:31 proves it since "HeirofGod" believes that God does not forgive suicide, because "if you are dead you cannot ask for forgiveness"! When a person is saved, all of their sins - past, present, and future sins (like suicide) ARE forgiven the moment they accept Jesus as their savior. So, the answer to the question "Can one who commits suicide be saved?" boils down to the fact of the eternal security of the believer - which is why I posted the example of Samson, a believer who committed suicide who was still saved (Heb 11:32) after committing suicide.
