Hypothetically...What if I really wanted to believe in God, but just...couldn't. Yes, I've tried church, I've read the Bible, I've borrowed a nice stack of Lewis and Yancey books. I want to love Jesus and all that jazz.
I think I'm an okay person. No criminal record. I'm a good friend. I volunteer with sincere interest in domestic violence shelters and child abuse prevention programs. I think I'm a pretty okay person, you know?
So what if I commited suicide? Would God really hate me? I'll be "sorry" for it...it's not anyone commits suicide for fun. So what if I said, "God, please forgive me. I don't know how to deal with myself. I don't know how to deal with the lonliness, and I feel worthless, but please forgive me. I love you, and I am so sorry for not trusting You...." And what if I really meant it? Will I still go to hell?
vs.
A serial killer who later repents for his sins?
Will I go to Hell while he goes to Heaven?
Serious answers only please.
