A question I have been pondering and seeking answers for a lot lately is: if you believe in Jesus Christ as your savior, but decide to take your own life, does that exile you from Heaven? Should we as humans have a choice whether we live or die? Life is God's gift to us. Is suicide rejecting the gift or is it choosing to end it's course?

Please help me in this issue.

If you truly believe in Jesus, you believe He is the one who decides when you die. This does not mean I believe suicide would disqualify someone for heaven. Fortunately, that's God's decision, too. I wouldn't take the chance, though, since He said you shall not kill.

reading your post...
I can't help but wonder if you are asking this question for yourself,
or for someone that you know of who has either attempted suicide
or did in fact take their own life.


If this is for yourself I want to say
I have been there, in certain times I've thought about it more often
then others. But purely due to God's Grace upon me, the pain that
was driving me in that direction has always subsided.
For non-believers, as I once was, (lol - I wasn't born a Christian and
nor was I raised in a Christ centred home I came to TRUE faith at the
age of 25 , fourteen years ago this month in fact : rolleyes.gif )

If it is about your thoughts and feelings,
I will not say that life is easy, but I will say GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!
I know first hand how it feels to HURT so bad to wish for death,,
Job knew and I think that book is often mis-understood in todays
general mind set. We are not without pain in trials and if we live
a Godly life, we will not be without persecution because we have
a very determined enemy who is tireless and relentless in his pursuit
to tear us away from THE LORD!!!
But in the 'battle' against this enemy, that we can't see or hear and
that many people don't believe exists, we have GOD WORD!!

If you have trusted in Christ YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
And you have The Word of God that you, without anyone else
have the ability to learn and study about the identity of GOD
The Creator of ALL THINGS. YOUR MAKER!!!
You don't have to take some one else's word for what "God Says",
you can look in to His Word and find out for yourself. That wasn't
always the case!! God brought up many people in order to set
His Word free, don't take it for granted!!

HE CARES FOR YOU!!!!
AND HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE YOUR AT IN LIFE
WHAT YOU"RE GOING THROUGH AND WHAT YOU NEED..
HAVE FAITH IN GOD -- Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you!!
Suicide isn't an answer to those of us that believe, because our lives
belong to OUR GOD, because of THE GREAT PRICE HE PAID FOR THEM,
FOR US TO LIVE

BELIEVE - ONLY
