Bible Question: Thank you Jalek, So if the person was not saved and commited suicide, they would go the direction they would go with natural death? I really am in search for a Pastor friend of mine whose earthly dad commited suicide and this is a stumbling block that has not been resolved and is causing a inner spiritual growth block in this individual. Lifting the pastor up to our Lord for an answer, I was led here. :) Thanks again Toylady |
Bible Answer: My heart goes out to your friend. In reading your posts you ask earlier if a child of God (saved individual) commits suicide, would he/she go to heaven (my paraphrase of your question) . Consider the following three verses: John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life..." NASB Notice - A believer has "eternal life" Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus" Notice - eternal life is a "gift of God" Romans 11:29 "for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." Notice - the gifts...of God are "irrevocable" Conclusion: Once a person has eternal life nothing can reverse that gift, a christian committing suicide will still have still have eternal life with God. I hope this helps? God bless, Mikep |
