Do crazy people go to Hell?

Question

I read a list of the type of people who go to Hell, it's in Revelation, but it didn't actually say crazy people per se.
So is there another list somewhere else in the Bible, that might include crazy people?

Here's one list I found in Revelation:
1 the Cowardly
2 Unbelievers
3 the Abominable
4 Murderers
5 Whoremongers
6 Sorcerers
7 Idolaters
8 All liars

Answer 1

a list of people who go to hell???? sounds like the crazy people wrote that! So of course they wouldnt be in the list.

Answer 2

FWIW This international is the hell that gets observed via fact it is the place we go through luckily we don't belong right here, we are purely travellers and there is not any sturdy or evil, it is purely human theory What occurs right here occurs for a reason, yet do no longer complication complaining as you agreed to this life previously you got here right here So in case you opt for in charge absolutely everyone on your suffering in this international, blame your self And in case you think of the equipment sucks, take it up with the producer ;)

Answer 3

I think it depends on what kind of "crazy" you are talking about. If they are born mentally deficient such that they are unable to understand the difference between right and wrong and thus their need for salvation, they would be considered the same as a child who has not reached the age of accountability.

If they were once sane and during that time, they accepted Christ as their Savior, they would still be saved. It is the power of Jesus that gives us salvation, not our works, so they can't un-earn their salvation once they have it, no matter what happens to them.

If they were once sane or at least mentally capable of distinguishing right from wrong, and rejected Christ as their Savior, they would go to hell. The best example I can think of is someone who ended up insane as a result of taking drugs or getting involved with occult activity, etc. so that their mental state is actually a result of their own sin from which they never repented. People who work with the mentally ill will tell you that there are clearly people who do seem to understand Christian beliefs and claim to believe in God, while others openly reject this faith.

I do believe that some people considered "crazy" are actually demon-possessed. A demon cannot possess a Christian, so in these cases, unless the demon were exorcised and the person was delivered from it and became a Christian, they would go to hell.

However, thank the Lord it's not up to me. This judgment is left up to God, so as long as a person is alive, we should do everything we can to help them regain their sanity and to present the gospel message to them so that they have an opportunity to be saved. I also believe that intercessory prayer by Christians on behalf of mentally ill people in the same way as offering prayers for other illnesses can be effective in bringing about healing in some cases.

Answer 4

The Bible does not specifically say whether or not mentally ill people go to heaven or hell. However, there is some biblical evidence that anyone who is not able to make a decision for salvation is covered by Christ’s death. This is similar to how it is commonly believed that children are automatically taken to heaven when they die until they reach the point in which they are able to make a decision for or against Christ.

Knowing the love, grace, and mercy of God, this would seem consistent with His character. Any person who is mentally challenged to the extent that he could not be aware of his sinful state and believe in Christ for salvation, is in the same category as a child and it is not unreasonable to assume that person is saved by the grace and mercy of the same God who saves babies and small children.

===again, thanks to "gotquestions.org" for their insightful article. I must credit them again, because they say things so well, and it's hard to express it any better.


Have a blessed day.

Answer 5

So far it sounds like a lot of people I know and probably more than half this world are going to hell, just because of the all liars part. LOL more than likely crazy people are not to blame for their craziness, it's a sickness, so I doubt they will go to hell, that is if there really is one, I kind of always considered hell to be what we are living in now anyway, heaven has to be death it's self.

Answer 6

Theres lots of different kinds of mental illness.
I think some of the mentally ill are able to control their actions, and can tell the difference between right and wrong. Those ones may or may not go to hell, i think only god can decide.
Others, really are too crazy to know what they are doing, and i think that they have a better chance of going to heaven than alot of people.

Answer 7

I think crazy people like your are talking about never reach the age of accountability and the answer would be NO.

Answer 8

God looks at the heart. he sees the intent. crazy or sane. we are all sinners. but you knew that already.

prob. you could get a concordance and look this answer up yourself if you really wanted an answer.

I think it has to do with your hearts intent. doesn't it say that he judges between the thoughts and intents of the heart?

one might ask what is you intent?

Answer 9

No they go into the ground or burnt to ashes like every other person that dies. Oh does that mean i'm going to hell? haha

Answer 10

I hope not. If there is such a list, I might as well throw in the towel and pack my bag. I'm going.
