do you go to heaven if?

Question

do you still go to heaven if you commit suicide? if you believe in Jesus Christ as your savior, but you commit suicide, do you still go to heaven?


if you are not Christian or don't know what youre talking about, please dont answer.

Answer 1

"if you are not Christian or don't know what youre talking about, please dont answer."

So I take it you want a specific answer, with three letters, starting with Y and ending with S?

Yes, they go to heaven. Whatever you want to believe.

Answer 2

Some will say yes. Some will say no.
I'm convinced that if a person truly is borne again and has a relationship with God through the finished work of Jesus Christ, that he will not go to hell under any circumstances.
Jesus said, "Not all who call me Lord, will enter the kingdom of God." but he did not say that the reason was because they killed themselves. It was more about how you treat others.

Still, If one really does have faith in Jesus, and it is based on a personal experience with God through the Holy Spirit, it is highly unlikely that such a person would ever be so low that they would want to do such a thing and if they did, I would tend to doubt that they ever were really saved.

In the end God will be the one to decide on that issue. Some people have a very shaky faith. They believe that one can lose their salvation.

This would mean that Jesus was unable to keep that which we've entrusted to him, namely our souls.
I see a different gospel when I read the New Testament; a gospel that is safe like a rock.

If we can lose our salvation then we will live our lives in fear. If Christs blood is enough then we will be thankful for the salvation he has given us and good fruit will flow naturally.

Answer 3

This question has been debated within the Christian community a lot.

I do believe that a Christian that committed suicide would still go to heaven, because suicide is not an unpardonable sin.

Answer 4

Those who are adamant that a person who takes his life is committing a mortal sin, and will go to hell, are basing their belief on church doctrine rather than on the Bible. Scripture is silent on the subject. There are no verses that say "He who takes his own life shall be damned." According to Scripture, only one sin does not have forgiveness, and that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. That means there is forgiveness for every other sin.

Some quote 1 Corinthians 3:17, which says that God will destroy someone who "defiles" the temple of the Holy Spirit. Yet, there is disagreement about what it means to defile the temple. Does this include suicide? Does it include illicit drug abuse (slow suicide), prescription drug abuse, cigarettes (deliberately breathing in poisons that will eventually kill), tattoos, over-eating (digging a grave with your spoon), or alcohol abuse?

God is the ultimate Judge, and we should therefore leave the issue in His hands. It would be wise to follow the biblical example and not come to any verdict in the case of suicide.

Answer 5

My observation about those who commit suicide is that they are usually in state of despair, often thinking that there is no other solution to his problems or that he is incapable of solving them. Self-esteem is generally low, and the suicidal person thinks that the only way for him to escape his situation is to end his own life.
I've known one friend who decided to end his life under very tragic circumstances, and another who attempted it, but who was rescued almost immediately after she drank insecticide.
In the former case, I'm wondering even up to now what I could have done for him, especially since he has opened up his thoughts to me.
Without necessarily judging suicidal persons (the judgment is not ours, but God's), despair is an offense against the virtue of hope: God in his merciful providence, always provides the remedies to cope with life's problems. The infinity and omnipotence of God are not something to take lightly, but thoroughly considered, in prayer, in judging situations, and the like. For the seeming insurmountability of problems, God towers over these situations. That is why despair, the ultimate expression of which is suicide, is not justified from the viewpoint of Christianity.
Besides, the fifth commandment forbids the taking of any human life, most of all, one's own life, which God enjoins we must preserve and nurture.
As a rule therefore, one cannot go to heaven if one kills oneself.
The only exception to this is the possibility that at the very last minute before passing away, the suicidal person repented for his act in killing himself. God in his mercy, might forgive that person.
Further, the state of mind of some persons is so muddled - they might be psychiatric cases - that it renders impossible any intelligent and free decisions. No culpability can be attached to such persons should they commit suicide, regardless if it fails or succeeds.
Rescuing the lives of others under dangerous circumstances is not suicide, nor is death through martyrdom. In these situations, God would probably even commend the heroic manifestation of love for God neighbor.

Answer 6

Well, I think it depends on the situation. A true Christian wouldn't commit suicide in most situations; but, I suppose there could be instances in which a Christian would commit suicide; like I said, it depends.

Answer 7

In my personal opinion I don't think you would go to heaven. Although you have accepted Christ as your savior, you still commited the act of murder, and have not been given the chance to repent for it. ITs very complicated, and no one can really know the answer. SO my advice is don't try it, you may end up sorry.

Answer 8

I think it's easy for some people who have never struggled with an issue (suicidal thoughts, homosexuality, etc.) to speak out on the issue, but they are ignorant. There are Scriptures to support the *idea* that if you commit suicide, you will end up in hell, but nothing word for word.

Only God knows the heart of a person. Only He is qualified to judge. I don't think it's what He would want for anyone, and it certainly goes against His commands, but as I said, only He is qualified to judge.

Answer 9

i am not Christan but i will answer

suicide is forbidden big time .why because you not accepting Allah destiny to you also Allah is the on take the soul not you also you will miss the blessing of being patient

read quran verse

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin.
Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils).
Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him nor exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law).
Come not nigh to the orphan’s property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength; and fulfil (every) engagement, for (every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).
Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination.

Answer 10

I never have believed that you instantly go to hell, or don't get into heaven... I think it's all circumstantial. God will take every one of us into consideration, and every life and every situation into consideration. I don't believe that If god loves you that he would banish you simply because you couldn't find a way out. I'm not condoning suicide, not by any means. There is always a way out, but at the same time, death is death, and by dying, you stand face to face with your creator and have to explain what happened. It is then between you and God. No person alive has any right to say that you will go to hell, because they don't know. you and your god decide that.

Answer 11

No one's completely sure. Some would like to think you would go to hell, but it never says in the Bible that you will go to hell if you commit suicide. But when you kill yourself, you're spitting in God's face for giving you life. You're not dying the way you're supposed to at all. So I wouldn't take any chances. I don't know if you're contemplating suicide or not, but please don't. Losing a family member is bad enough, but suicide is the worst way to lose someone. It tears apart families and depresses people for life.
