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: Greetings, The Bible is clear on how one goes to heaven. It's through belief in Christ, and the acceptance of Christ as one's savior. John 3:18 says it as clear as any other verse. "He who believes is not condemned. He who believes not is condemned alread, because he has not believed." Jesus also said once "all manner of sin will be forgiven". The only exception to that was blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, not suicide. As to what to tell your friend, I would remind him of John 3:18. If his dad was genuinely saved, regardless of how his life ended, then he will go to heaven. If his dad was not saved, ... well, the Bible is clear on that as well. Jalek |
