I am arguing with a friend on Christian Connect - [url]http://www.ChristianConnect.com [/url]about suicide. She believes that suicide can send you to hell.... All things aside, suicide is the most selfish thing that a person could do, especially a Christian (and I don't mean sacrificial suicide that someone might bring up hypothetically). Think about it: Christ died in order to buy our lives and we accept that. Our lives (and everything they will be) are not our own. To take it by suicide or other means (living your own life) (especially as a Christian) is dishonoring Christ's sacrifice... But does this selfish act along send you to hell, if you are saved?

suicide is just like any other sin - - and an act of sin cannot take away your salvation

What they said. Suicide is wrong - it is the murder of one's self. I would not want to show up on God's doorstep having just committed murder. That said, no it will not send you to hell if you are a believer. If you aren't, though, it's a one-way fast pass.

well if the fact is that you go to hell if you have not confessed and repented a sin --then wouldnt a lot more "Christians" be going to hell? think of this scenario -- you're driving in your car - - and you suddenly realize that a car is about to hit you head on and in your last few moments on earth you yell a curse -- [[&& we're not able to confess and repent]] - - now sense the Bible tells us that all sins are equal in the eyes of God - - you cannot say theres a difference between committing suicide and comitting any other sin before death. I was always taught that you cannot lose your salvation by sinning - - so how would suicide change that?

I dont know if Suicide can send you to hell or not. But God can not allow sin into heaven. Murder is sin. killing yourself is sin. you cant ask for forgivness...its too late.

i agree that a person who would commit suicide might not truly be a believer -- that brings up a whole other topic -- but it can be truth. && i again i want to mention that suicide cannot be the worst sin next to murder --for the Bible says that all sins are equal in the eyes of God - - there is only one unforgivable sin - -and it has nothing to do with murder or anything -- it has to do with the concious rejecting of God.

yes, suicide will send you to hell, saved or not. but, if was an accident (Like say a freak accident) If your saved and repented, you'll go to heaven, but not if you commit porposefull suicide

If you are saved (you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus died on the cross for our sins) and you commit suicide, you will not go to hell but since you couldn't ask God for forgivness because its too late, God will not be happy. On the other hand, if you commit suicide and your are not saved, you will go to hell, but don't commit suicide because God has a purpose in your life and he wants to use you, if you kill yourself, you will miss out on the thing God has in store for you. God has plans for your life. Tell your friend that.

[color=#FF0000]Suicide is the quickest way to hell my firend... the Bible says over and over that no man may take anylife not even his own. even if you look at it from a standpoint outside religion all together what benefit is there to take your own life? there is no reward in Heaven for killing (that includes suicide) its even one of the Ten Comandments: Thou Shall Not KILL... besides Jesus dieing on the cross was not suicide because He was not a man He was the way He died for our sins He became sin for us so that we may live for Him and with Him forever...i hope that has helped you out my friend...
