Bible Question: Where in the Bible does it say that suicide is a sin and will this send one to hell |
Bible Answer: Cas, If you believe that a man can "loose" their salvation, then you probably will see suicide as causing a professing Christian to go to Hell. If you believe in the eternal security of the believer because you believe "once saved always saved," then you will probably see suicide as irrelevant to your salvation, but certainly a sad event. If you believe in the eternal security of the believer because you believe in the historical doctrine of "the perseverance of the saints," then you will likely see suicide as an extremely worrisome event that MIGHT be indicating that the person was never truely belonging to Christ. This last one is my view. But to clarify, I see suicide as a "red flag," not as a certain conclusion of their fate. In Christ, Beja |
