Suicide

[Ovedya]

Just a quick note: Can we please not turn this into yet another discussion on OSAS?

The thread asked if a person goes to hell if they commit suicide. That has to do with salvation. Not sure how else anyone can answer that question, except to refer to salvation.

The scripture that says that wilful sins are not automatically covered is Hebrews 10:26 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICES FOR SINS."

Pretty dangerous to hinge your entire thoughts on suicide based on 1 passage of scripture. The following is from gotquestions.org

Question: "What does Hebrews 10:26 mean?"

Answer: Hebrews 10:26-29 warns against the sin of apostasy. Apostasy is an intentional falling away or defection. Apostates are those who move toward Christ, hear and understand the Gospel, and are on the verge of saving faith, but then rebel and turn away. Willful sinning in this passage carries the idea of consciously and deliberately rejecting Christ. The apostate has knowledge, but no application of that knowledge. Judas Iscariot is the perfect example

[Paul]

I am sorry to come in the so late in the game, but this thread strikes close to home to me. I suffer from thyroid disease, I had graves disease, so they had to kill my thyroid, so now I have to take medication to live. (before anyone tells me if I had more faith I would not have this problem, I believe God gives me the medication and he allows me to feel the things I do so that I may help others). I am a Pastor, and yet because of my disease I sometimes suffer from severe depression. At times I feel so much that it seems to be more that I can bear, at these times I feel closer to God because depending on him is the only thing that gets me through these times. I will never kill myself, but I have a little more understanding of why some do, it hurts and it seems like will nver go away.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I do not condone suicide, what it does to those left behind is devestating.

Do I think it will send you to hell? God know the hearts
