do all Bible-fundies believe that a person who committed suicide is in hell?

Question

what if that person wasn't in his right frame of mind? what if he's clinically depressed?

Hudson R, I highly doubt you know what Catholics believe in, so quit accusing Catholics of the things they don't do.

Answer 1

NO! I am atheist, and a catholic friend of mine recently committed suicide. All of my friends say he is in heaven, because the lord took into his account the situation at hand. But god is fake, so they go nowhere.

Answer 2

NO.
Your concept of 'hell' is incorrect. You have picked up on what Catholicism teaches. It is simply wrong.
It teaches an everpresent place where souls are tormented or tortured. the presupposes that something exists of us after we die. something that can endure further punishment. Ity is all totally un-supported by scripture.
This is what the bible says about 'hell'
first up, the term the Bible uses is the Greek equivalent...Hades.
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.

Anything that goes into fire of any sort is destroyed.
so death and Hades are to be destroyed.
And Hades is not itself the lake of fire.
.That would be like putting something into itself. does not make sense.
Whern you match this with'
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

No more death...then it becomes obvious that Hades/Hell is associated with death. no more death= nmo more???
GRAVES.
so Hades/hell is the grave, whether it be a hole in the ground or even at sea, where seaman are 'buried'.
This in itself is recognised at;
(Revelation 20:12-13) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha′des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.

It equates Hades/Hell with a grave in the sea.

And God does recognise depression; And makes allowances for it.
(1 Thessalonians 5:14) On the other hand, we exhort YOU, brothers, admonish the disorderly, speak consolingly to the depressed souls, support the weak, be long-suffering toward all.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

The Bible, if read properly, teaches us just WHAT is the truth.

Answer 3

No, I do not believe that. Not all Christians share this belief though. This is a common belief in the Catholic Church (they think that suicide is giving up on God).

In my opinion, if you have the Lord Jesus as your Savior, if you've confessed him as Lord with your mouth and belief in your heart he died and rose again on the third day, you'll go to heaven no matter how you left this world.
But I am in no way condoning suicide. There's always a better way.

Answer 4

Well if they kill themselves how can they make a prayer to the Jesus-god of Constantine for their get out of jail free card? The only way to get away with murder is if you repent after the fact as far as corrupted Christianity goes.

Answer 5

i don't think all of them do. but probably in the margin of 80-90%.

as for clinical depression... sad truth... one of the seven deadly sins. sloth... wonder why god made being mentally ill a sin????

Answer 6

Jesus died for all our sins, including the sin of suicide.

Answer 7

No
