Okay..say I decide to jump off a really high building...?

Question

...because I just can't deal with life or whatever. So...anyway... if I repent, say around the 32nd floor on the way down, will God forgive my sin of suicide and take me into Heaven?

Or will I just be a massive stain on the sidewalk that some poor city worker will have to scrape up?

Right. This is purely hypothetical. I'm saying..once you set the wheels of your own demise in motion, can you repent... or are you on the great glass elevator to Dante's Inferno?

We're assuming I've already accepted Christ prior to jumping... perhaps earlier in life.

Answer 1

Suicide is a sin, dont do it.

Answer 2

If you honestly accepted Jesus as your personal savior; i mean truthfully, from the bottom of your heart, not just saying you believe in Him along time ago then you wouldn't get those thoughts of suicide because you would see life from a different perspective, you would love life. Not to say you wouldn't go through pain and suffering but you would know how to deal with such pain without looking to suicide as a means of escape.

If you're standing on the edge about to jump and you truthfully turn away and ask God for forgiveness and not jump God will forgive you but you have to really have repented and seek for His guidance afterwards.

If you jump and you repent on the 32nd fl on your way down, trully repent and God only knows if you have trully repented, then I believe that He would forgive you and you would go to heaven. God knows our thoughts, our true intentions, you can't hide anything from Him if you tried. God is a god of love and wants all of us to repent and have everlasting life.

But don't wait until you're on your death bed to seek Him and repent because you'll be missing out on God's many blessing that He may have in store for you. And also, when the time comes to stand before Him to give an account of our lives we want to make sure that we have good works to show.

Hope this answers your question!
GOD BLESS!

Answer 3

I'm afraid that it's going to be a massive stain on the sidewalk. And, how dare you make life worse for the poor city worker.

Answer 4

i don't know

i'm pretty sure you'll still be a stain no matter what
even if he does forgive you
you're going to have to be that stain to find out

too bad there's no way to know these things without being dead
it really sucks
you'd think if somebody/something wanted you to do certain stuff they might come down every now and then to clarify the directions seeing is how we're all very lost

God needs to make its own answers website

Answer 5

Repenting does not save your soul

Sincerely placing your faith in Christ as your Lord is what saves your soul....32nd floor down or an entire lifetime of glorious service to God.

Jumping off a building because you cannot deal with life is just plain stupid.

Answer 6

You'll be both! I would suggest dropping acid before jumping, because all the colors will look more "godly" as you're decending, with a greater chance of you earnestly repenting!

Answer 7

Do you ever think of the hail mary toss in the last 12 seconds of the high school football game is wise or desperate?

Forgiven or Fumble...Gods call...and there is no replay of the down.

PS...Saved already? Forgiven.

Answer 8

You'll be a massive stain on the sidewalk no matter what you believe.
But hey, don't worry about it... it's just a dream.

Answer 9

Matthew 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

Answer 10

if I understand this,
you are not a believer, you jump, repent on the way down, yes you would be saved

however it is unlikely you would

Answer 11

that just made me laugh as I am trying to visualize you face at floor 34 that there is no God and you will drop like a sack of rocks and - SPLAT!
