Ghost Question?

Question

I need to know if anyone thinks that when a person dies from suicide, that they go straight to hell. The Holy Bible states that there is no forgivness for taking ones own life. What then happens to the spirit?

Answer 1

I believe they should go to Hell as God created them with a life and they want to take it away. What normally happens to a spirit will happen to them but with a lot of torture involved.

Answer 2

Whenever the Holy Bible states such things as "no forgiveness" for taking one's life, I'd take it with a grain of salt. The Bible speaks in parables and everything is not meant to be taken literally. The spirit has much proof that it goes on to return to the earth plane again, until it gets it right. You have to remember that the words in the Bible have been tampered with by man, who may have been well-intentioned, but they are still men just the same. Interspersed in between the word of God throughout the Bible, are the preachings of man, for various purposes. Some are to instill fear to get religious devotion out of all people. Fear of hell and damnation is manipulation on a grand scale. I don't think God would sentence anyone to eternal purgatory. What would be learned from that, be there no reversing, no further understanding or compassion possible? It pays to listen to actual people who've "been" to the other side and lived to tell about it or to hear various accounts from reputable psychics, like Edgar Cayce or Sylvia Browne, who is still presently alive. The spirit lives on. Life is a lesson. Life has a purpose. Just blindly believing out of fear is not really true belief is it? Go to agapelive.com and ask Rev. Michael Beckwith your same question. He has a direct pipeline to the divine! Ask him!

Answer 3

I believe that the spirit goes to a place like Limbo for a time until the spirit is released & sent elsewhere. To committ suicide is very bad because they are taking their life for granted regardless how hopeless they are feeling at the time. I believe that the spirit is trapped in a bad place, I do not think it can appear to us tho....the spirits that appear to us are usually spirits who do not want to leave us because they love us or they are trying to help us in some way. Maybe they died before they were ready & they have some unfinished business here on earth. Ghosts are very real. Those who do not believe in them have never seen one.

Answer 4

I think that when a person dies from suicide, their soul is tortured already. When they get to the afterlife, it takes much more work on their behalf to get to their ultimate destination (heaven, reincarnation). There are angels and spirit guides who are there to help but the person has to come to terms with all the guilt that they have carried with them and all the hurt that their survivors have projected at them. I think that survivors need to forgive them and come to terms with the idea that suicide was something that their soul needed to experience in order to learn their spiritual lesson for that lifetime. This way, the survivors do add to the grief that the soul needs to move through on the way to the next.

Answer 5

the spirit is the breath of life which returns to God who gave it you. The person waits in the grave until the judgement, which either result in the person rising to life or rising to death.

I don't think the Bible says that there is no forgivness for taking ones own life, could you provide the reference for this statement? Although it doesn't say that explicitly, it wouldn't be a good idea to take one's own life. Are you unrepentant or under grace? I'm not sure.

Answer 6

I do not believe in the hell Christians believe in. I believe in a world of spirit that is pure energy. And when the physical shell is discarded, our pure energy goes to this plane. Like attracts like so you want your energy to be positive. Obviously a suicidal person has negative energy and may not vibrate to the best place on the spirit plane.

Answer 7

I've been to church my whole life and, yes, i believe if you commit suicide you would go to Hell. Like you said there is not forgivness for killing yourself. But everyone is going to have their own oppinion on a question like this. What do you think happens?

Answer 8

I think it may depend on what that person believes, there are too many versions and translations of the bible to really be only ONE answer, I personally do not believe in Hell, I think God's greatest gift to humanity is to choose (free will) and if we choose to take our lives I dont think God gets as mad, maybe you just get another chance and have to come back here and do it all again...that would be kind of hellish to me.

Answer 9

this is a trick question.

The only hell that exists is here, away from living in the presence of god.

after the final judgment, hell will be when you gt what you deserve, and see that if you had tried just a little harder, you might have gotten something better.

in other words, regret becomes hell

Answer 10

I don't remember reading in the bible that you go to hell for taking your life. I do know that to do that you have to be very depressed, would God condem a mentally sick person?
The wages of sin is death, not life in torment

(Romans 6:23) For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.

The dead rest unconscience in hell., hades, sheol. Awaiting a resurrection.

(Psalm 89:48) What able-bodied man is there alive who will not see death? Can he provide escape for his soul from the hand of She´ol? Se´lah.

(John 5:28-29) Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

(John 11:24-25) Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life;

(Revelation 20:13-14) 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. 14 And death and Ha´des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.
