    Wil you go to hell if you kill yourself
  • Rick - In Reply on Isaiah 55 - 3 years ago
    Faith Just some things to help this person shift there thinking. There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still. If you look at the world you can become depressed, if you look in a mirror you can become caught up in your looks or frailties or past failures if you turn your eyes upon Jesus the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His Glory and Grace. The past no one can change and the futures lies in either your belief in the world 5 senses or with Gods word walking by spiritual faith of Jesus Christ. In conclusion Phillipians 4:19 But my God shall[absolute tense] supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. In His Service

    Only God can pass judgement regarding who goes to hell.

    Only God can look into the Heart. God will weigh the heart of each person, and will see everything about our lives, and with all of this, God can make the best judgement call.

    I hope and pray, that anyone contemplating suicide will pause..and pray.

    Pray directly to God in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, he will guide you in times of need, and put your life into his hands, and He will Heal and Comfort YOU.

    God Bless.

    One of the 10 commandments is "Thou shalt not Kill", dead people cannot ask forgiveness. There is people on this site that will try to go behind the Word of God and change it to fit their beliefs, but Gods Word will not change for me or anyone else. I will never understand why it is so hard for people to just take God and Jesus at their Word and believe it, instead of trying to add or take away! Man's opinions does not matter, we are begotten by the Word of God. This is to Faith's comment about suicide.

    My answer is 'maybe'. For sure someone will go to hell if they have rejected Jesus. And if a Jesus-follower commits suicide it's like slapping Jesus in the face and spitting on Him. He died for you and you're saying you don't care. He gave you the gift of life and you're saying you don't care and you assume you know better than Jesus. Some want to numb their pain and escape. If that is the reason for wanting to end things there are so many better alternatives. People in a valley are often blinded to how many opportunities and possibilities there are in life. Things can change and change quickly. It starts with your own thinking and your own habits. If you change you, you can change your perception of reality. God gave you a gift and we're not supposed to bury it but use it to glorify God and serve others. God bless.
  • SUICIDE THOUGHTS - In Reply on Isaiah 55 - 3 years ago
    If you're not Christian, you will go to hell. There is no escape.

    What you do as a Christian can cut off any plans the Lord had purposed for your life.

    Psalms 39:4

    LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

    JEREMIAH 29:11-13

    For I know the thoughts that I think TOWARD YOU, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an EXPECTED end.

    Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will HEARKEN unto you.

    And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

    Almost every trauma in our life, is temporary. If you will draw close to God again, ask Him to dim the memories that hurt so much. I did that, expecting nothing, but God did that for me. The pain is gone. Be brave and ask Him to dim what hurts.

    If we commit suicide as Christians we stop the thoughts God had planned for us. Don't take your life. Give it to Jesus. Allow Him to give you a new purpose.

    If you are bitterly lonely, get involved in life again. I find nursing homes a wonderful place to bring my joy to. I sit and read happy Psalms to people. After a few weeks, I ask them if they want to go with Jesus to their heavenly home. Some say yes. Some are already saved, but we pray for the Lords comfort. The Holy Spirit comes to do his work on their lives.

    You go home feeling a little tired, but very blessed. Sometimes I buy greeting cards they can put by their bed.

    God will heal your memories, but first you have to give them to Him. Forever.

    Brother Mishael,

    Only God can judge.

    I believe God can save anyone that he pleases.at anytime that he pleases, including someone that is a sinner and NOT a christian.

    After all he is God, and he can show mercy on whomever he pleases.

    Romans 9:15

    "For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."

    Romans 9:18

    "Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth."

    We can look at the thief on the cross - that is now in paradise with Jesus - to really understand how God loves us.

    God Bless
