Can a person enter heaven if they commit suicide?

Answer 1

Absolutely yes.

The "you don't have a chance to ask forgiveness" theory which says that you cannot go to heaven if you commit suicide is a logical fallacy. If you follow this logic, then ANY sin for which you forgot to ask forgiveness would similarly net you the same result. We commit innumerable sins of omission and commission, MANY of which we may not be cognitively aware. In other words, if that theory was true, NO ONE could enter heaven.

Once you ask and receive the forgiveness of Jesus and His free gift of salvation, it is yours FOREVER. There is no fine print. No opt out clause. NOTHING can snatch you from the hand of the Father.

Not even the most tragic sin of all.

Answer 2

Suicide is taking the law into ur hands and negating God's will. As in world it is crime to take law into ur hands and u r punished for that. Similarly u cannot expect heaven by committing suicide. Heaven has to be lived in here only and u do not go anywhere to experience heavenly bliss. If ur thoughts r negative then u r in hell whatever ur possessions. If ur thoughts r positive then u remain happy and spread happiness around and it is heaven. Even so called Gurus have had a ignoble exit from this earth because they did not care for the words they utter and despite their spiritual achievement they met despisable end. So suicide is climax of negativity and cannot absolve u of ur pain and hence no heave either.

Answer 3

The prevailing thought used to be that since that person took a life no he/she would not go to heaven for having took a life. With better understanding of psychology we now know that someone who commits suicide is mentally ill and therefore can't be held accountable for their actions and that God would understand that the person was not so much trying to kill themselves as get away from the pain. The suicide was an unfortunate result of the way that the person was trying to get rid of the pain.

Answer 4

Sure. But they will realise what a shocking mistake they made when they have their life review. Will be made to realise that life is all about love, and suicide is the most unloving thing they could do. They would also see how their suicide effected others, how they could have done things differently. How trivial their problems were compared the the universe etc.... Would see how narrow their prospective was.

They would kick themselves.

Life is about living and experiencing not coping out.

Answer 5

No They will be a miserable ghost until at least the time they where supposed to die and generally longer because they become so grief stricken in their condition they miss the boat to get another body and try again. One must understand Karma Reincarnation, and no one goes to hell eternally to understand the unlimited love and mercy of God. For the original new testament before King Constantine changed the bible and took all this out google gospelofthenazirenes.com also for the Vedic perspective on this read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada asitis.com can be read on line. Hope this helps. Suicide never ends misery it only increases it because we are eternal spirit souls and have to realize who we truly are and attain our eternal position (Bhakti Yoga is the Universal path to our real self)

Answer 6

Yes. Suicide is committed by someone who is hopelessly depressed or physically ill or both. I haven't been dead yet, but I think you are judged fairly and your reasons and any illness would be taken into account.
C. :)!!

Answer 7

this is a question we can't really say yes or no to cause it takes being dead to find out. I think it's up to god and his mercy upon the person. If the person didn't deny his savior during life. I believe god will forgive them. I guess it goes to if the person was saved or not

Answer 8

I think everyone can go to heaven but a tortured soul can't find its way there. In other words, its not God that is preventing them from entering heaven, it is the person who can't find its way to heaven.

Answer 9

you are taking the gift of life God has given you and throwing it away.... you may be experiencing some troubling times right now , but have you ever thought of how much worse some other people may have it?..... silver is purified through fire and the furnace before it comes out pure and shiny.... stick with it... it will get better

you may be destined to do or be something great

Answer 10

when someone commits suicide they are as sick as someone with terminal cancer and no one would say that person couldn't get into heaven. suicide is the result of severe depression.
