Bible Question:
I do not mean to be offensive, and I ask this question with all sincerity; I have often heard that if you commit suicide, then you are condeming your soul to hell. Is this true? If so, or it not, then what scriptures could I study? |
Bible Answer: Hello scott88, As far as condemning your soul to "hell" (the grave), that is one definition of "hell" ,being the place of departed souls, it is number 86 in Strong's concordance. I would have to say that is where you would end up if you commited "self-murder" suicide, "sui", meaning "self" or "ones own". "cide", meaning "murder" One definition I found, One guilty of self-murder Ex 20:13 "You shall not murder. Deut 5:17 'You shall not murder. I hope this helps you understand more clearly, wordoer |
