Subject: Will suicide condem my soul to hell? |
Bible Note: John, you seem a little wishy-washy on the subject. Will one who commits suicide, go to heaven or not? There is no "maybe." It is a simple yes or no. you seem to agree in a feeble way. Believers are just as human as any sinner. They simply march to the sound of a different drummer. They are just as likely, if not more so, than any sinner to face trials and tribulations. The only difference is faith. I like to look on faith as a Christian tape measure. Some are tall. Some short. Still some are midgets. I can see how when beat down to the ground a midget Christian might kill himself, but like yourself, I can’t imagine a Christian with any amount of faith killing himself. It seems you answered what appears to be your own doubt. You portray a "once saved, always saved" belief. I am sorry. I have seen where in scripture this thought could be mistakenly derived, but if one applies the "entire bible," they will also read therein that one "can remove his name from the lamb’s book of life." However, this is a doctrinal issue and, I believe an improper topic for discussion in this forum. "the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." Irrevocable, yes. No one can take them away. But one (can) give them up. In Christ George |
