    Default Suicide...

    What are your views on this as far as the church goes? Am I right in thinking that it is a major sin? I've heard it was very wrong(church-wise) because you are basically killing something God made in his own image, which, in turn, says you are killing God, himself. Later, QD.

    I can't really explain my position on suicide... but I do feel it does keep you out of heaven... Any non-uncontrollable death... For instance if somebody REALLY wanted to die... just go to a bad part of town and start throwing punches, somebodies gonna kill your ass... but still suicide. Can't explain why I think it's an instant "no heaven" move.. but i feel that it is.

    I feel no matter what suicide is the worst of all sins. I got different views on it but i don't feel its forgivable. Catholics believe all sins are forgivable except suicide.

    True dat
    Suicide=Rot in Hell. People that kill themselves are the biggest pussies to ever walk the planet. The funny thing is is for someone to "escape" LIFE they kill themselves for a ETERNITY of damnation. LMAO

    If the priest is sincere about it and redeems himself, yes. Killing is also forgivable and along with other things. Hard to believe but i guess thats where faith comes in.

    if this was true why would 'god' let someone kill themselves?
    why would god let there be genocide?
    why would god create katrina and kill hundreds or thousands of people?
    why would god let priests live who molest people yet let innocent people die in random accidents?

    God does not let them kill themselves. Free will. Just like God does not let you "not believe' in him. That is your choice.

    That would be like asking the question "Who do God let people kill each other / murder each other". Again. It is not God that does it.

    ^^The only thing it shows is you have no respect for the lives around you, I dont see how killing yourself show you have no respect for anything living. It just shows how selfish a person is to think of thier needs only and not care how it will affect the family and friends arund them.

    those questions are improper, it's not about god "LETTING" anything happen!

    There are answers to us that are unfathomable to our minds, we are not supposed to understand the reason for every occurance!

    for some reason i dont agree... i think suicide is straight stupid. Again i think someone has to have some marbles loose to even contemplate it. No matter how bad shit gets... logically... having shit to begin with is better than not having any shit at all... whether it be good shit or bad shit..
    anyone catch my drift?

    Come on man HULUD Reverse is DULUH add a "T" Between the "U" & "H" Nah Mean?

    I think God allowing a person to commit suicide is the same as God allowing us to choose our denomination. "Free Will" as previously stated, is a variable in our lives.

    We're not just puppets in a play people.

    Maybe it's just my Bible, but I can't find any place where it says that suicide sends you to hell. I think that whole thing was made up to keep the Christians from killing themselves when they went through persecution. Suicide is a sin. Just like everyother sin Jesus died on the cross for. Not unforgivable.

    The answer...

    Some people believe that all who commit suicide go immediately to Hell. However, the Bible never says if this is the case. The Bible is silent on this issue. God probably did not address it in black in white for a good reason. If we knew that we would still go to Heaven if we killed ourselves, there would probably be a lot more suicides taking place than there already are. However, if we knew that all who killed themselves were automatically banished to Hell, no matter what their situation, it may be too much for the grief-stricken family and friends to bear. Murder and suicide are not unpardonable sins. The only unforgivable sins are rejecting Christ (Mark 16:16) and blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

    (Mark 3:28-29 KJV) Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

    All other sins can be forgiven. However, anyone contemplating suicide may be in danger of going to Hell, as their relationship with the Lord is not intact at that point. Those who would consider suicide may have a severed relationship with Christ and therefore they would enter the real Hell--which is worse than the hellish feelings they are experiencing at the moment.

    Suicide in Islam is automatic hell.

    reason:
    God created you, he has your time to die, when he is ready, he will take your life. But what you end up doing is taking your life before it was planned. Even though God already knows this, so in turn for you ending your life prematurely you spend the rest of your afterlife in hell.

    If you are a Christian then you should know that suicide is not an automatic "go to hell" sin....there is no such thing.

    Once you are saved there isn't a thing you can do to be "un-saved"

    Suicide is the most selfish thing anyone could ever do because it has reprocussions that affect everyone around you, but not you because you're gone.

    And btw if you believe in Islam...look up Dr. Ergun Caner and his brother...and honestly just listen to what he has to say since he and his family were once believers in Islam

    personally i think it is something people should be allowed to do politically, but personally i think its a cop out in life to do so... it takes a real man/woman to live through bad times; unless you have some horrible vegitative state that really isn't living to begin w/.

    Are you sure that is correct? Aren't you supposed to ask for forgiveness for your sins after you commit them? And not before? That's like me going to confession and asking for forgiveness so I can commit a 187/211. Later, QD.

    I believe it's selfish, I would never do it, BUT here's where it gets freaky. I look at it as the next step in personal exploration, by that I mean that I feel I've experienced enough of this "existance" and I want to know what lays beyond. I believe are bodies are shells and there's something else out there. I want to know what that is. I can go a lot more indepth and if someone questions me on anything I'd love to talk more about it, but that's my watered down belief on suicide.
