Christians: Why does God keep some people from killing themselves so they can get "saved", but not others....

Question

who end up going to Hell?

Answer 1

I who was in that situatuion can answer.It is because I chose him some do not.

Answer 2

God doesn't keep someone from killing themselves...He may intervene, but ultimately it's that persons free will to do so are not do so.

Also, suicide does not necessarily mean one is going to Hell. Once a person is saved, honestly, truly saved they are forgiven of all sins, past, present, and future. If someone is to commit suicide (and assuming it is not in the case of something noble such as self sacrifice to save others, or as martyrdom) then yes they have sinned in that they did not trust God's will over their own. But, that sin has already been forgiven...the same way my sin has already been forgiven for whatever I might do tomorrow. They gravity of the sin is only of human concern. To God, all sin is equal...whether it be over eating at the buffet or mass killing in a school courtyard.

It can, however, be debated (but not resolved by human minds) that the person committing the sin may not have "really" been saved. That can only truly be determined by God, for He is the only one that truly knows a persons heart.

Answer 3

God never stops someone from killing themselves.. everyone has their own choice in deciding whether to live or die. God has a unique way of talking to people. be it through people or through acts.Everyone who is about to kill themselves knows that in some way or the other someone reached out to them with kindness by gods help, but despite all that they continue with what they set out to do, however others stop.People that go to hell are the ones that never asked God for forgiveness and as a result go to hell because they said no to what god was offering them. "eternal life"

Answer 4

The bible says the will of God is that no man should perish. But everyman has the opportunity to receive God's salvation is he so "chooses". God is not a respecter of persons, but offers the gift of salvation to all men. Choice is just that powerful and those who reject God still become objects by which God will use to show His goodness and mercy to those who choose Him. Pharoah rejected the Lord, so God used him as a instrument by which He could demonstrate His goodness and mercy to Israel.

Answer 5

We make our own choices... blaming the bad on God is just seeking to avoid responsibility for choices we make that may impact our lives negatively, although in the long term all things happen for a reason and contribute to the divine plan (or God's plan, if you prefer) so while we may see a negative outcome in the short-term, we can't know how that event may impact our lives in the long-term... perhaps positively.

Answer 6

What do you mean "Why does God keep some people from killing themselves". .We have free will. We cna kill ourselves if we want. I think you are misunderstanding that those people who don't kill themselves chose to listen to God. That they understood (maybe at the very last minute) that they didn't have to kill themself. .that God is another way out.

I'm sorry but your question kind of confuses me.

Answer 7

People that commit suicide are people whom Satan has dominion over in their lives, most often because they never gave God their heart and life. As sad as that is, it was their own choosing. Don't blame God. Place the blame where it deserves to be placed. That is what is wrong with today's generation, always trying to place the blame for things on others, be it on God, or another person, and never taking responsibility for their own actions.

Answer 8

That's a hard one. But maybe God doesn't really save those people. Maybe it's just by chance that they are saved and God uses them afterward anyways.

Answer 9

...Sounds like another attempt to put God to the test; weak, finite man trying to put the the infinite Creator God on trial...well, sorry, men are morally responsible to our Creator and not vice versa.

...Observe these verses in Job 40:
...6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm and said,
...7 "Now gird up your loins like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me.
...8"Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified?

...The Lord will never make a mistake; any decision He makes will prove Him to be just, holy, and righteous.

Answer 10

It's very difficult to answer this question, as we can't understand the ways of God.

"My thoughts are not like your thoughts, and my ways are not like your ways; as high as the heavens are above the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts above your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:9)

God declares that He has the sovereign choice on who He gives mercy to:

"For he says to Moses: 'I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.' So then, it does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy." (Romans 9:15-16)

I can't say what reason He has...it could be something that we will do, or simply to display His great mercy, as the Apostle Paul writes:

"But here is why I was treated with mercy: so that in me as the worst, Christ Jesus could demonstrate his utmost patience, as an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life." (I Timothy 1:16)

Answer 11

I don't believe anyone will be going to hell. I think God forgives everyone and everyone gets into heaven.
