Question

I'm not contemplating it but where in the Holy Bible does it say you will burn in hell if you commit suicide? What book and exactly where?

Answer 1

Thou shalt not kill. To me suicide is killing yourself. Therefore, if you broke that commandment, you'd go to Hell. You'd be dead and wouldn't be able to repent.

Answer 2

The Bible doesn't say anything about going to Hell for suicide.
More importantly, I would like to share with you the Truth about the afterlife. I only tell you this because I care what will happen to you when you die. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, used God’s name in vain? These are just a few of God’s Moral Laws. When you die, God will judge you on the basis of His Moral Law. If you stand guilty before God of breaking His Laws, He will have to send you to Hell. God must punish lawbreakers. The good news is that God provided a way for you to be forgiven and go to Heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross and rose again to pay the debt for your sins and take your punishment. What you must do is Repent, which means to say you are sorry to God and turn away from your sins. Then put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be accepted into Heaven, not because you’re a good person, but because you’re a bad person who’s been forgiven. Please give this some thought. Your Eternal Destination depends on it.

Answer 3

Suicide
This document reflects commonly held beliefs based on scripture which have been endorsed by the church's Commission on Doctrinal Purity and the Executive Presbytery.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why does the Assemblies of God stand so strongly against suicide? Why does the church believe it is so wrong to take your own life? Doesn't heaven await all Christians?
The Assemblies of God has never approved or sanctioned suicide. Scripture teaches that mankind is a special creation made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26; 2:7). Thus all human life is sacred, a gift from God to be treated with dignity and respect. Murder is condemned by Scripture (Exodus 20:13), not only as the willful taking of human life, but as a sin against the divine image inborn in God's highest creation (Genesis 9:6).

The Judeo-Christian tradition holds that God alone has the right to give and take human life. God is sovereign, appointing both the beginning and the end of our days (Job 14:5; Psalm 139:6).

Suicide is the deliberate act of ending one's own life. Suicide is self-murder. The reason for violating God's command against murder (Exodus 20:13), as well as the mental health of the suicide victim, both raise serious questions of responsibility and accountability. A Christian, with the help of the Holy Spirit, should be able to cope with the stresses that sometimes lead to suicide. But we do not fully understand the causes of major mental illness and must therefore exercise caution in declaring that all persons who commit suicide are eternally lost. The specific instances of suicide recorded in Scripture—Saul and his armor bearer (1 Samuel 31:4,5), Ahithophel (2 Samuel 17:23), Zimri (1 Kings 16:18), and Judas Iscariot (Matthew 27:5)—all seem to have sad spiritual as well as physical ends. Some have called Samson's death a heroic suicide, but it seems more likely that his death was the unavoidable result of his heroic action against the pagan Philistines (Judges 16:28-31).

Some may object to calling suicide a violation of the sixth commandment on the grounds that some suicides are not motivated by the hate that Jesus condemned as being as bad as the act of murder. Nevertheless, the act of suicide rejects God's inherent sovereignty over life and is therefore sin if committed with full awareness of what one is doing.

CONCERNS

A suicide has an enormous impact on the immediate family and on society. The bereaved suffer catastrophic feelings of guilt for supposed neglect which allowed the suicide to happen. This pain is compounded by normal concerns about the eternal destiny of the suicide victim.

Family members should be counseled to leave the matter of eternal destiny in the hands of the Lord. He alone knows the thoughts and intent of the heart as well as the mental condition of the victim at the time of the suicide.

Please read, "A Biblical Perspective on Assisted Suicide" for a discussion of physician-assisted suicide, and the slippery moral decline that this so-called merciful action can lead to.

Answer 4

if you want to commit suicide then you don't need a second thoughts about it if you were ready. and to kill yourself only means that you've gone too far with so many hard things in life and you can't take anymore of those. bible is only make by people and it does have a billions of believers from mix generation!
or if you still feel ill searching an answer for your own question ,go in the church and asked a priest to blessed you!

Answer 5

It never said that in the Bible. This is something the Roman Catholic Church made up one day, like cheating on your taxes is now considered a sin. The Churches pretty make up anything they want as a sin, and everybody goes along with it. God made me, and I sure as heck dont need a middleman to act as a go between for me. I cant think of anything that would hurt God, or tick God off more than to send a messenger boy with my prayers. I deal with God directly, and ignore the Churches edicts. If it's wrong, I'm sure God will tell me. I dont listen to man when it's a maffer of spiritual importance, I listen to my soul.

Answer 6

The reason is - because you can't take a life that isn't yours to take. When you take your own life you are taking that right from God. You are committing a sin - Thou shall not kill is another. When you die, you can not ask forgiveness for that sin. Then, I guess how can you be forgiven if you have not asked forgiveness? It is not up to us, but I think that it is the only unforgivable sin because you are no longer alive to ask forgiveness for doing it.

Also, if you are not saved you will not get to Heaven anyway, and if you are saved, you would find another way to get past your problems and not by taking your own life.




Does that make any sense?

Answer 7

The Bible does not specifically say that you will burn in hell for committing suicide. It does say "Thou Shalt Not Kill", and I suppose committing suicide would be self-murder.

Answer 8

It doesn't say that anywhere in the bible. i don't think that commiting suicide is good at all. i also don't believe you burn in hell forever and ever. God would'nt want you to forever suffer because he loves you no matter what. I believe that it will be like a flash and then you will not be anymore.

Answer 9

It doesn't but their is a good example of why that would be the case.
The geobonites pretended to be from a far away land. Knowing they were killing everyone close. God let the isrealites be tricked it said he appreciated their earnest desire to live. Even if it meant that they had to be slaves. There is a place that says something like God doesn't make anyone live that doesn't want to. Life is a precious gift. If you throw that gift of life away.
you will not be resurrected at the last day. If you truly want to be dead. or to have never existed than your wish is granted.
Just be careful what you wish for

Answer 10

In First Cor. it says that murders(among others) will never see the gates of Heaven. So unless you deny that suicide is the ending of your life and therefore self-MURDER then you admit that says that you will never see the gates of heaven. WHERE ELSE ARE YOU GOING?

Ludd you are an IDIOT. It was the JEWS who had him executed not the Romans. Try reading a little. It was the Jewish religious leaders that wanted him put to death for CLAIMING he was their king. The whole thing of him getting in trouble for claiming he was king was because that was the only charge they could FIND.

Answer 11

They consider it this way: Suicide is killing yourself. Killing is a sin. Suicide, by definition, is the last thing you will ever do while alive, so you can't ask forgivness for it. So you go to hell. Fun, huh?
