Good question was about suicide. Yes, they are in heaven. 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 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.

Yes the are. The non fundamentalist Churches say that some people who commit suicide go to heel and others don't. An example of one going to hell would be someone who is being chased by the police for a traffic violation and shoots themselves. A severely mentally ill person might not go to hell as God does have compassion.

Yes they take another understanding out of the Holy Bible...
I don't agree with them, but they have good messages also in the church..
It says in the bible you MAY be in Judgement for suicide, there are mental illness and crazy people that don't honestly know any better that May not go to Hell, but if your in your right head, you just MIGHT go to hell also..
John 1:1
In the beginning was teh Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was MADE BY HIM, and the world knew him not.
1John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in ehaven, the Father, the WOrd, and the Holy Ghost, and these are One.
1 John 5:8
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
1 John 5:11
And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life..
One God....

The answer to this is not a simple one. It comes from many different interpretation of the Bible and personal beliefs. I know that God seems more maternal than anything; He loves all his children, even those who do not love themselves. I think that God is compassionate and for people to say that God sends those who commit suicide to Hell are too harsh. God is not logical, He is loving.

Well, that is a really controversial subject. I believe that you will still go to heaven, though that may have not been what God wanted for your life, but it does say that whoever confesses from his mouth that Jesus is Lord and excepts his sacrifice on the cross they will be saved. However, it also says that we are to take comfort in the Lord and seek refuge in him, not try and solve the problem ourselves.

this is a difficult question for me.. i myself have tried to commit suicide .. but i believe that god knows our hearts.. and i think at the time i was not close enough to god and just thinking of myself and what was hurting me so much at the time... i believe the bible where god says thou shall not kill... i have been taught that it is a sin to kill ourselves...i was raised a baptist ministers daughter but i did not have any street smarts and i went against the way i was taught.. i have been through so much that i should never have even been involved in.. i still bear those scars today...i am older now and i know that i have not always done right.. i ask god to forgive me for all the wrong i have done..my dad is gone now but i think even with some brain damage i understand more that i was taught as a child...i think only god knows our hearts and what causes us to act some ways.. but if we strive to stay close to god i think he will help us to endure the things on this earth....i hope this helps you with your question...

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it:
“I do not know whence I have come.
I saw my feet walking on the road.
As they please I go and stop.
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”
God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2)
Indeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)
Prophet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)
Prophet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)
Prophet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)

Real happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.)
(Qur’an, 13:28)
On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:
(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)
This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.

If you've "been saved", you wouldn't be committing suicide.
"Where you go" would depend on which Christian religion to which you're an adherent. Most would say "hell" because murder is a sin (and suicide is murder of oneself).

A Christian doesn't committed suicide. You must be wanting to ask a fanical muslim that question! If you are a Christian then you should seek help. DON'T DO IT!

Depends upon why you killed yourself. If you are mentally ill, your brain isn't exactly working properly, so you go to heaven, if you do it for selfish reasons like for attention or whatever you go to hell. God knows where your heart and head are.
