Read this very carefully and then think about it.
The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work 100 percent of the time?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case and we are perfect creations of a perfect God then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
Love and blessings

Suicide is a sin. The bible says do not kill, and that includes killing yourself.
God forgives you if you believe in Him, Believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose again, and then just ask God to forgive you and believe that He has.
WHY would you be worried about going to hell at 11? Why are you asking questions about suicide?
Maybe you could talk to a counselor at school, a relative or a friend's parent. If something is bothering you, you need to talk to someone.
Listen...first off, I understand school may be boring, but an education is for your own good. Believe me! I was a high school drop out..got my GED because I thought I was all grown up and wanted to live my life my way. Later I had kids...then tried to go to college when I realized that school WAS the answer. I was unable to graduate college because of daycare issues. Anyway, I wish I would have stayed in school..been a kid...NOT have grown up so fast and spent years doing nothing but " having fun" when I could have been learning. My life would be a lot better now if I would have done things " the right way!". Not that my life isn't good, mind you...thanks to My Father in Heaven, He has blessed me anyway...but things in my life would have been a lot easier if I wouldn't have made the choices I did.
If your parents abuse you, you need to talk to someone right away. Try a teacher at school, one that you trust. It is never ok to abuse a child, and it is not your fault. You are worth much more than that.
God has a plan for your life. You have a purpose. You have so much opportunity ahead of you! Maybe you will be the one to find the cure for cancer..or Aids..etc. You are important , and suicide should never be an option!

First, I do believe that suicide is a sin. However, I do not believe that suicide is a one-way ticket to hell. I don't think that commiting suicide is any different than having sinned and being killed before having the chance to "confess and repent". If you are saved and saved indeed, I do not think there should be a fear of a wrath to come. However, I think that salvation and belief in Jesus Christ should bring hope, which would "hopefully" make you turn away from suicidal thoughts.
Church is not what brings forgiveness of sins, it is the cross of Christ. His shed blood is the only thing that can bring us salvation, and He is the only Way.

DO NOT do anything irreversable. Talk to your parents or someone else you trust about how you feel.
The Bible says, "Do not kill" . That includes yourself. You need to get help. If your first request for help doesn't work, talk to someone else. A teacher, a guidance counselor, a pastor or counselor from the phone book, somebody.
Going to church does not mean forgiveness from sin. Believing that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised from the dead is key to salvation.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life."
He offers forgiveness from our sins. 1 John 1:9
"If we confess our sins he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrightousness."

Hell is Greek for mankind's common grave. It is a place where you have no conscience thought. Hitler and Saddam are not suffering. They are unaware of the passage of time.

Calm down. Anyone who wants to know about the right path won't go to hell, if they chose to live it. I won't elaborate, as other people have already answered your question.

What does it mean to be a born again Christian? The classic passage from the Bible that answers this question is John 3:1-21. The Lord Jesus Christ is talking to Nicodemus, a prominent Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin (a ruler of the Jews). Nicodemus had come to Jesus at night. Nicodemus had questions to ask Jesus.
As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again...." (John 3:3-7).
The phrase "born again" literally means "born from above." Nicodemus had a real need. He needed a change of his heart--a spiritual transformation. New birth, being born again, is an act of God whereby eternal life is imparted to the person who believes (2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1-4, 18). John 1:12,13 indicates that "born again" also carries the idea "to become children of God" through trust in the name of Jesus Christ.
The question logically comes, "Why does a person need to be born again?" The Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:1 says, "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins..." To the Romans in Romans 3:23, the Apostle wrote, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." So, a person needs to be born again in order to have their sins forgiven and have a relationship with God.
How does that come to be? Ephesians 2:8,9 states, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast." When one is "saved," he/she has been born again, spiritually renewed, and is now a child of God by right of new birth. Trusting in Jesus Christ, the One who paid the penalty of sin when He died on the cross, is what it means to be "born again" spiritually. "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation..." (2 Corinthians 5:17a).
If you have never trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, will you consider the prompting of the Holy Spirit as He speaks to your heart? You need to be born again. Will you pray the prayer of repentance and become a new creation in Christ, today? "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe on His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:12-13).
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and be born again, here is a sample prayer. Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that can save you from sin. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation. "God, I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness - the gift of eternal life! Amen!

You won't go to hell. Your sins are forgiven. But don't kill yourself, because you have a mission in this life.
