When I was a Christian, I heard that a suicide could not go to heaven.  Someone in our village was buried outside the churchyard because she had killed herself.  She could not have a church funeral.  I thought this was very wrong.

The Catholic Church teaches and has always taught that suicide is a terrible (mortal) sin.  God created you, and God knows when it's time to call you home.  That is not for us to decide.  \n\nIn states that have legalized physician-assisted suicide, the vast majority of people who do so are depressed.  \n\nLet's love them instead.

Ok first of all....LMAO at The Wanderer.\nNow that that's out of the way....The Bible doesn't speak directly about suicide. It kinda lingers on the Sixth Commandment of Thou shalt not murder. But it doesn't say suicide is unforgivable either, The only sins unforgivable to God are rejecting Christ and blaspheming the Holy Spirit. But it's a complex issue not to be taken lightly

no, suicide is a waste of a life.  life i precious; God gave it to us.  most people, when they try to commit suicide, their last thought is, "I dont want to die".  when you commit suicide, there's no turning back.  its just over.  think about how many people you coud affect if you dont commit suicide.  Turn to God, and he will help you through any situation that you are helpless in.  without God, we wouldnt have life.\n\nyesterday is history\ntomorrow is mystery\ntoday is a GIFT

I believe many people commit suicide because they aren't able to get any, or have never had any. Such as myself. So if that counts then yes.

DEFINITELY NOT. How can you profess to follow the Lord Jesus, but turn completely away from Him.  This is called a backslider.  They are not saved and unless they repent and turn from their wicked ways, and be cleansed of their sin, they will go to Hell or be left behind in the soon coming rapture of the TRUE believers of Jesus Christ (whichever comes first).

There is something you have to consider, Hitler committed suicide\n\nSuicides—A Resurrection?\n\nTHE tragic news of a suicide does not close a chapter in the lives of relatives and friends; it opens one—a chapter of mixed feelings of pity and anger, sorrow and guilt. And it raises the question: May we entertain any hope for our friend who took his or her life?\n\nAlthough self-inflicted death is never justified, never righteous, the apostle Paul did hold out a beautiful hope for even some unrighteous ones. As he told a Roman court of law: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15. \nMany theologians have long dismissed any suggestion that the resurrection of the unrighteous might offer hope for those who commit suicide. Why?\n\nCenturies ago, churchmen introduced a non-Biblical concept: immortal souls that leave the body at death and go straight to heaven, purgatory, Limbo, or hell. That concept clashed with the Bible’s clear teaching of a future resurrection. As Baptist minister Charles Andrews asked: “If the soul is already blissfully in heaven (or is already justifiably roasting in hell), what need is there for anything further?” He added: “This inner contradiction has remained to plague Christians throughout the centuries.”\n\nOne result of such errant theology was that “since Augustine’s time [354-430 C.E.], the church has condemned suicide as a sin,” says Arthur Droge in the Bible Review, “a sin beyond redemption, just like apostasy and adultery.”\n\nJesus told a criminal sentenced to death: “You will be with me in Paradise.” The man was unrighteous—a lawbreaker rather than a distraught suicide victim—guilty by his own frank admission. (Luke 23:39-43) He had no hope of going to heaven to rule with Jesus. So the Paradise in which this thief could hope to come back to life would be the beautiful earth under the rule of Jehovah God’s Kingdom.—Matthew 6:9, 10; Revelation 21:1-4.\n\nFor what purpose will God awaken this criminal? So that He mercilessly can hold his past sins against him? Hardly, for Romans 6:7, 23 says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin,” and “the wages sin pays is death.” Although his past sins will not be accounted to him, he will still need the ransom to lift him to perfection.\n\nOnly God can fully understand the role of mental sickness, extreme stress, even genetic defects, in a “suicidal crisis,” which, the National Observer noted, “is not a lifetime characteristic [but] often a matter only of minutes or of hours.”\nGranted, one who takes his own life deprives himself of the opportunity to repent of his self-murder. But who can say whether one driven to suicide might have had a change of heart had his fatal attempt failed? Some notorious murderers have, in fact, changed and earned God’s forgiveness during their lifetime.\nThus, Jehovah, having paid “a ransom in exchange for many,” His Son, is within his right to extend mercy, even to some self-murderers, by resurrecting them and giving them the precious opportunity to “repent and turn to God by doing works that befit repentance.”\n\nThe Scriptures encourage us to see ourselves, not as immortal souls, but as valuable creations of the God who loves us, who treasures our being alive, and who looks forward with joy to the time of the resurrection.\n\n4000 years had passed from Adam & Eve, Jesus said to a Religious Leader that no one had gone to Heaven, and millions of people had passed away in death. This is a quote from the King James Bible: \n\nJohn 3:13 " And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven," \nit seems to me, this would eliminate the "immortal soul" belief, not only that, if you go to Heaven or Hell when you die, you completely do away with the resurrection that the Bible speaks about, because the resurrection is suppose to take plac

Jesus made the answer to your question clear when he said "all manner of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven among men.....(Matt.Ch.12 V31-32 being blasphemy against the Holy Ghost which involved a 2 fold Heavenly witness)as this is the only sin for which there is no forgiveness, then suicide is forgivable. Hope this helps.

No they cannot. If pre destination exists and only certain people can get saved then why does the bible say, "WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved" -- Romans 10:13.You also notice the Whosoever in John 3:16. I do believe that God knows who's going to go to heaven, but he still works on everybodys heart so that everyone can choose for them self's.

Sometimes, when people make the serious decision to commit suicide, they actually start to feel better. They believe the pain is going to stop, that there will be an end, so the depression resolves.  That is why some people get so surprised when someone dies by suicide when they were doing so well.

yes of course.\n\nMurder is a crime and not permitted by the 10 commandments. If you feel the urge and desperate enough to kill yourself, just bare in mind, life in hell will be worse. At least whilst you are still here, you can get some support and help to get better.\n\nSuicide is murder . Don't do it or you will burn in hell

God is a loving father and as such he can and does forgive any sin.  There are certain individuals in this world who are so sensitive to the vagaries of life that ultimately they find themselves so unable to cope that the only way to find relief is to end this physical existence.  There are other reasons such as clinical depression which could cause the same course of action.  Though such suicides can and do happen, it is not necessarily a reflection of the spiritual status of the individual.  Faith in God is the only requirement for salvation and if such individuals had faith, then they will indeed be forgiven and resurrected in the next world.\n\nAs some people here have stated, the only way to assure you will not survive beyond the death of this physical body is to deny God.  To sin is to deliberately go against the will of God.  To embrace sin as a continual course of action is to become iniquitous.  Sin is unreal to God and such a person who follows the path of sin and iniquity gradually becomes unreal to God as well and does not survive beyond this brief life in the flesh.\n\nCertainly God does not want anyone to commit suicide.  People should make every effort to cope with whatever problems they encounter, including seeking professional help such as counseling.  We only get this opportunity to live and learn as material beings once.  We should make the most of it while we are here.  However, as I said before, if indeed a person does commit that irrevocable act of ending his or her own life, God will forgive.
