Subject: Suicide.....Hell or no. |
Bible Note: To the extent that a believer is thinking straight on the basis of the Gospel (John 3:16), I agree, suicide makes no sense, and we are incline to think, "How can he be a believer and do that!?" Christ commands us and we take communion as often as we do to be reminded of John 3:16. I think the Lord gave us communion because of our weakness -- our weakness to forget, our weakness which needs constant reminders, our weakness which requires that we readjust our thinking back to the grace of God in Christ. I would be careful not to write off people who commit this sin as being unbelievers. "I am weak but He is strong." A true believer in his weakness can do some pretty "unthinking" things and in a moment of clouded judgment not remember John 3:16 and it wonderful implications. |
