Bible Question: My friend and I were talking about people that have been saved and are true christians but something go wrong and they can go on and comminted suscied will they go to heaven and is there anywhere in the bible that tell us about this. |
Bible Answer: 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). |
