do you believe that if someone commits suicide they do not rest in peace?

Answer 1

Good question was about suicide. Yes, according to Hebrews 11:32 - Samson who is one of the heroes of the faith and committed suicide was with the lord. But if you want to know where the Catholic Church stands, read point 2383 in the Catechism and you will see that God has a special place, a remedy for those he loves and who commit suicide.
I am not a catholic, however, people could learn a lot from some teachings from it.

I have known people who have committed suicide - people that I respected and even Christians and certainly God has the answer for all of our depressions and problems.

He is such a tender, loving savior. Listen to Jesus in John 14:1, “Let not your heart be troubled”, then down to verse 27, Jesus said, “peace, I leave with you. My peace I give unto you - not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.". You know how you can have peace? Psalm 119:165. “They that love thy word have peace.” It is because we are not in the Book daily. This is our strength and then prayer – Philippians 4:6-7, “Be anxious about nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication let your requests be known unto God and the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your heart and mind.” You don't have to carry these burdens. Listen again to Jesus in Matthew 11:28, “Come unto me all you that labor and are heavy laden with the burdens of life. When you come I will give you rest.” Give the Lord a chance, today. Get into the book and on your knees in prayer.


Have a nice week.

Answer 2

I believe that somene who commits suicide has things to work out in the afterlife but I do believe they are at peace. My adopted daughter committed suicide five days ago and left four children under 5. I could not stand to think that Jesse was not finally at peace. I believe that our Heavenly Father loves us all, mistakes and all, after all he is the one who made us human.

Answer 3

It depends on the person entirely. If they have Jesus in their hearts, they won't go to hell. Suicide is not an unforgivable sin. The only one that the Bible mentions is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. Rejection of the Holy Ghost.
While suicide is looked down upon, it will not send you to hell if persued.
Some people who are saved commit suicide because they don't know how to live. Once you are saved, you are not necessarily righteous. It takes a mental and spiritual dying of oneself every single day is what makes him a Christian.

Answer 4

If they are at peace in the first place, why would they do suicide? I don't believe that people who commits suicide is saved. Because God said you shall not commit murder, and to kill oneself is killing the will of God to you too. If you accepted God you wont commit suicide in the first place but allow Him to work your troubles with you and be victorious. God wants us to become overcomers of this world not to be overcomed by our own troubles.

Answer 5

If they accepted JESUS as their SAVIOR, their in HEAVEN. You don't mess-up(become LOST) your Spiritman, by killling your BODY. SUICIDE is not the UNPARDONABLE SIN. If you do this thing, and your a Child of GOD, you have effectively knocked your-self out of alot of rewards(ETERNAL REWARDS) that you coulda' had, if you would of stayed on EARTH longer, and did what you were supposed to do for JESUS. Also, am studying the difference between OUTER DARKNESS and HELL. They are not the same, and Outer Darkness seems to be a place where you go to get Purified befor you return to HEAVEN. This might be where CATHOLICS get the PURGATORY IDEA. Don't know yet, not sure. GOD can expand TIME, and give people the chance to accept JESUS, and any-body who would go so far as to kill themselves would be in the right frame of mind to ACCEPT JESUS!!!! Don't ever "give up the ship" on others just because they killed themselves, GOD has secrets!!!!!!!!!!Get on to HEAVEN (accept JESUS as your SAVIOR) and when YOU get there, YOU will find OUT!!!!!!!!!!(GOD is GOOD(MERCYFULL)-----devil is bad, really BAD(no Mercy at all)).

Answer 6

I believe that if they are mentally impaired, God understands and it won't stop them from getting into heaven. Most people are mentally impaired that commit suicide, I mean a rational person would not kill themselves, so I believe thay are with God.

Answer 7

yes i do,and that is the cause which prevent me from committing suicide!and i am not mentally impaired but suicide sometimes may appeared as the only solution to your problems!!

Answer 8

Death has the same result for everyone, regardless how they die or what myths they believed.

Since no further brain activity is possible, all dead people "rest in peace."

Answer 10

My brother in law hung himself 4 years ago in my basement, I would like to think that God would be the one to judge his actions, and forgive his sins...judge not lest ye be judged yourself.
