The 99 soldiers that suidice in Iraq, are they going to be in hell?

Question

most of them belongs to christians groups cause according to statics 66% of them are christians, the war that they were fighting were supported by Christians in 2002 according to the Land letter sent to Mr. President G. Bush and now they suicide, are they going to hell?
I Won´t ask if the people that were killed in that war are in hell (civilians and soldiers) according to Christians they are but the soldiers are also in hell?

The Land Letter was a letter sent to President George W. Bush by five evangelical Christian leaders on October 3, 2002 which outlined their theological support for a just war pre-emptive invasion of Iraq. The letter was written by Richard D. Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. It was co-signed by Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries, Bill Bright, chairman of Campus Crusade for Christ, James Kennedy, president of Coral Ridge Ministries, and Carl D. Herbster, president of the American Association of Christian Schools.

Answer 1

It say's in the bible, the only unforgivable sin is denying the Holy Spirit. No man can judge a man's heart. If they are muslim. They probably will. They are serving a false god.

Answer 2

I try to be an accepting person, but condemning someone to eternal torture for taking their own lives is where I draw the line. What a ghoulish, petty, and disgusting accusation to make. Have some sympathy for the suffering they endured before they made their final decision. No one kills him or herself for vanity, greed, or any other character flaw. If your suggestion is that either a person must tough out such intense physical and/or emotional pain that they actual want to die, or end up in an even worse situation, then your morals and ethics need an overhaul.

Answer 3

No, they just went away like as if they were never born. The only remembrence of them will be in stastics.
But hopefully the religious leaders who signed that letter will definitely receive some punnishment for the part they have played in the wars and deadth and killings in our time.
They are the ones responsible. The ones who are supose to teach the bible and speak in the name of God.
But like the pharisees of Jesus day they are rich powerful religious leaders that God condems.

Answer 4

many christians believe that suicide is a form of murder and a sin, and therefore restricts your ability to get into heaven. the bible however is not overly specific on the topic, and it can be argued that they are forgiven by God if they are a christian and have therefore asked for forgiveness. also, self mutilation or suicide are seen as hurting or damaging the body, which is refered to in the bible as the temple of God, and is often thought of as a major sin as such. in the end, God knows what was in their minds and on their hearts at the time they died, and will inevitably judged them fairly and accordingly. also, many statistics about christians are incorrect, going to church is one thing,but truely being a christian involves so much more.
it's hard, and often we want to know if those who have passed on are in heaven, but i personally think that it is impossible for us humans to know. some people are extremely faithful on the outside, but there is no way for us to know what is really on their hearts. God is the only one who can and we should relish in the fact that he is in controll and will judge them more fairly than any of us ever could.

cheers

Answer 5

Christians, per se, are going to hell because they believe that Jesus is the Messiah.1)* However, the Messiah of Israel is another Messiah by the Name of YAHSHUA. John 5:43(a) 2)*

All religious groups who say: "Jesus" is Messiah, or the Son of Elohim are in fact Christians, whether or not they like to say they are not Christians. ALL GROUPS OF PEOPLE who say: Jesus is the Son of Elohim will go to hell because they are in rebellion against Yahweh. Yahweh never instructed Gabriel to tell Joseph "You shall name Him by the Greek name of 'Iesous!'" (i.e., Jesus).3)*Also, Gabriel never told Mary: "You shall name Him by the Greek name of 'Iesous."' 4)* Those 99 Soldiers who committed suicide destroyed their bodies, which had the potential to be The Temple of the living Elohim. To commit murder of your body, the Bible says:"...and you know that no murderer has eternal life living in him." 5)* To Hellenized the Name of Yahshua to
"Iesous" (Jesus) is to change the Word of Yahweh, that is to add to and to subtract therefrom. This will cause a curse!6)*

Thus, the answer is all 99 soldiers will go to hell!!!!

Answer 6

There simply is no permanent place called 'hell'
The Greek word translated hell is Hades'
And Hades is not permanent.
It will go when death goes.
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.

Death will go because God has promised it.
(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 death= no graves
So 'hell' is just our grave.

Answer 7

The war wasn't/isn't supported by Christians.

I don't think they are because they were under great mental distress when they did. Being forced to kill people, seeing your friends or even family being blown up, having lost the support of your country, losing your will to fight something you don't even want to do....

God will look upon them with mercy.

Answer 8

Well that certainly tells me something about faith of "christians"...

When the going gets tough, they get out- by any means neccessary.

Honestly, if I knew that I was endangering my life as well as being made to kill innocent people on a daily basis for a war that makes no sense (well, it makes perfect sense to Haliburtin), I'd want to kill myself too. Anything to get out.

Answer 9

I don't think God answers in this section...
and, ONLY God knows what was in the hearts and minds of these soldiers.

May God be with them, and their families.

Answer 10

Those who die go to the same place they were before birth,
you call that hell, I call it non-existence!
