Do People Who Commit Suicide Go To Heaven? by Emir8: 3:23pm On May 04, 2023

Someone posted this question in a telegram group I'm part of.
Many people responded that whoever commits suicide is going to hell. However, I did a little research on it by asking Google. I was surprised to see in the articles written by foreign religious leaders that suicide doesn't take anyone to hell and they supported their views with a lot of verses from the Bible.

As a Nigerian, do you think suicide take anyone to hell?

Suicide is a sin,taking your own life is a sin against God Job 1:21 says " God is the giver of Life He gives and He takes away."

Suicide is equated to murder,and the only destination for suicide is Hell.

However there are certain accounts of people who have committed suicide ,went to Hell and we're given a second chance.

2: Tamara Leroux suicide testimony
2: you can also visit Randy Kay ministries von youtube where he interviewed certain people who commited suicide but where mercifully rescued from Hell

But the Bible says death cannot separate us from God:
Rom.8.38-39 - For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Rom.8.39 - Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1. Only those who are born-again have access to the Kingdom of God where Heaven and Hell are both located. So, if a person who is not born of water and born of spirit commits suicide, he/she cannot enter into either Heaven or Hell at the end - John 3 vs 1 - 21 & Matthew 3 vs 7 - 11 & Matthew 7 vs 13 - 14 & Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. undecided

2. There is nothing "Nigerian" about the Truth of God. undecided

Paul was referring to believers here,those who have accepted Christ and shunned the lifestyle of sin.

But if you die as a sinner,you will be separated from God eternally.

What is death? Death is described by God in Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22 as perishing in the grave aka ceasing to exist after one dies. Those who are born-again obtain Eternal Life - John 3 vs 1 - 21- which ensures they continue to exist after their term in this world comes to an end meaning that they can no longer cease to exist even after they die. However, in addition to that, Paul is saying in his epistle there that those who are born-again and are sheep cannot be separated from Jesus Christ, excluding the goats who are equally born-again. undecided

1. What proof do you have that you are born-again? And yes, Jesus Christ said everyone must be born again -- born of water and born of spirit -- so it isn't optional? According to Jesus Christ, these things are not of mental assent so, you if you are truly born-again, you will have evidence to show this, and the evidence, according to HIm is not one that can be hidden from even those around you. undecided

What was the cross that was given to you when you accepted Jesus Christ supposedly as you became born-again? undecided

The highlighted is a lie, suicide or not all are going to the same place at death: Hell

The problem is many don't know that Hell simply means Grave and nothing more.

Re: Do People Who Commit Suicide Go To Heaven? by sonmvayina(m): 4:25pm On May 04, 2023

Suicide..that is the taking of one's life.

Is it a sin or not?

Well let's see,
God created us and gave us the capacity to make choices. So as human we are endowed with the ability and capability to make choices. So what are we supposed to choose from?
Let's see,
Life and death
Light and darkness
Cold and hot
Up and down
Big boobs and small boobs
Big and small
Ugly and beautiful

Etc..

So the choice is yours, but which ever you choose, there is always a consequence.
Deuteronomy 30:15-20 says

15
See, I have today set before you life and good, death and evil.j
16
If you obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I am giving you today, loving the LORD, your God, and walking in his ways, and keeping his commandments, statutes and ordinances, you will live and grow numerous, and the LORD, your God, will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.k
17
l If, however, your heart turns away and you do not obey, but are led astray and bow down to other gods and serve them,
18
I tell you today that you will certainly perish; you will not have a long life on the land which you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
19
I call heaven and earth today to witness against you:m I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live,
20
by loving the LORD, your God, obeying his voice, and holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you, a long life for you to live on the land which the LORD swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.n

1. You are not far from the truth there because scripture apart, every religion out there, including the religion of Christianity —which rarely ever agrees with scripture by the way—, also has its own heaven and hell. So you need to be specific when asking these questions really. undecided

The simple fact is that, who ever is in Christ can't commit suicide.

And only those who are of Christ will make heaven!

If unbeliever
→then the rule is, "From dust, you came and to dust you shall return" -Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22
else
if born-again
→then the rule is you sleep in the grave until the time of the resurrection and then judgment - John 5 vs 19 - 29

1. Look, scripture only applies as far as those who are under Law, and as Jesus Christ made clear, only those who are of the Lost sheep of Israel can qualify to be under Law with Him. So, going around brandishing scripture against every individual out there makes absolutely no sense. undecided
