O.K, so here's part 2. My friend took his life this week, he was only 32. He was a drug addict. He had been sober for over 7 months and fell. I'm guessing that he felt he had no other way to fight it as he had been fighting this addiction for over 15 years. The thing is this, although he was an addict, he was one of the most loving, gentle, generous, people I have ever met. He was one of the best people I had ever met when he was sober. Does this make a difference on wether he goes to hell or not?

No, once again, there is no hell, except that which you create in your own mind with your indoctrinated beliefs. We all return to the non-physical spiritual eternal energy source of all life when this physical incarnation ends.

If a person was truly saved in the blood of Christ then no. God will look at them during judgement and ask them to explain why they threw the gift of life away, but no they won't go to hell unless they were not saved. There are some Christian denominations that teach a person will. But the Bible makes it clear that once a person is truly saved then they always have their salvation and if they sin and don't repent they will still answer to God for it

Since I'm not a religious person, I don't adhere to any particular dogma put out by organized religions. I'm of the belief that once a person is dead, he no longer exists and the shell of the person just decays or is cremated. He feels, knows nothing; it's as if he never existed. People don't want to think that though. They want to think they're somehow special and can't think of becoming nothing.

No one has ever come back to say ! So, let us not assume anything other than the fact that they cease to live. Religion can tell us if we believe, we will be saved and our sins would be forgiven, and that is an individual choice of belief. Either way, when one dies, doesn't matter how, they become that...dead!

Some people believe that but I think that a God who loves you more than you can imagine would feel some kind of compassion for the pain that you were in. He may be disappointed; but he wouldn't abandon the person for the disillusioned act.

That was the way I was taught as a kid & its in the Bible but I feel when a person reaches that point of no reasoning then you're not thinking rationally & God is love & I feel he forgives out of his love for us but not if we plan out deliberately just to take our life & we still know the difference between right & wrong then I feel its Hell we face. Myself, its not my life as God created my life so it belongs to him & I have no right to take it away. Trust me, I'm sure most of us sadly have considered it but we're still here typing away on Yahoo so we're still survivors in our and God's book. Thank you & have a blessed week!!! Thank you...

I don't believe so, because I don't believe in hell. I DO believe, however, that when a person does so, they condemn their survivors to a hell on earth. Suicide is the very worst thing someone can do to the people that love them.

No, people who commit suicide don't go to hell. However, those who commit suiced do, on the other hand, sentence those they leave behind to what feels like a living hell.

i believe when someone trys to commit suicide or does go through with it, they are mentally ill. God forgives us all no matter how bad the circumstance may be as long as we ask him for forgivness. I dont think a just God (which the bible tells us He is) would judge someone mentally ill as a sinner.

Only God knows the state of their soul at death. Trying to guess the answer to this question is the same as trying to play God...which IS a sin.
