Heaven or Hell

[chrismarc]

If a saved person kills themself, where will they go?

[Leonard]

Heaven. He is, by definition, 'saved.'

These sort of topics have been discussed and debated ad infinitum and rarely edify the Body.

Such topics bring to mind how Jesus responded to Peter when Peter looked back at John and asked Jesus, "Lord, what about him?"

Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me." John 21:22

What good do these discussions on suicide serve? Whether or not someone else is "saved"? We should spend the time and effort looking at ourselves and focus on our own relationship with God.

May the Lord Bless you all richly,

Amen Wayne! Thank you.

The threads are usually started by RCC members who want to propagate their belief that those who commit suicide are doomed to Hell.

Whatever our beliefs about the state of salvation, the clear truth is that suicide is a sin and that itself should be reason enough for us not to do it. If we need better motivation, there is none better than looking to God for love and comfort.

The Scriptures say we are not to discuss who went to hell and who went to heaven, for this is GOds Alone.

Maybe some one remembers the scripture, as I don't at this moment.

The thing is that the times when people need to draw closest to Christ immediately, too often they turn away instead.

Don't let your feelings run your life. ALWAYS draw to Christ FIRST.

The better feelings will come later.

God bless,

The RCC does not teach this.

My question was a very relevant one and i truly

wanted to know what folks believe and why.

James 4:12 (King James Version)

There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

[Guest jckduboise]

To try to attempt to answer such a question is to place ourselves on the throne of God and place judgement on a person's soul. We are forbidden to do such a thing, and I feel that this post will cause nothing but problems.

I feel this thread should be closed immediately
