Does A Person Who Commits Suicide Go To Heaven?

[@barbaraon-you-tube4387]

My sister committed suicide. She went to Heaven. God gave me a vision of her looking radiantly happy. Happier than I had ever seen her on earth. She was always very anti-suicide. She was in a situation of serious distress but I won't go into the actual details.

[@pussycat3693]

That's not called suicide. Suicide is evil. That's just depression or An anxiety disorder which was her cause of death. Suicide is hatred of yourself and your life - it's hatred to God. God tests us on our faith, not our failures. So I'm happy to hear that she is in Heaven with God - now we know he loving He really is?

You don't know the pain of being abused 30 years of your life. Raising three kids. In an abusive marriage. Left. Lost my 26 year old saved son by PTSD he brought home from Afghanistan. I have CPTSD. I died when my son did on February 23, 2017. Every year on that day I think about taking my life. I also hate the term committed suicide. He did not. That makes it sound like he committed a crime. No. He was so overwhelmed and the Army was mean and a woman he just married wanted him dead for the $400,000 insurance.

When you suffer from severe depression from a chemical imbalance it is different from suffering from depression due to circumstances. I suffer from both it's a double whammy depression!!!. When I lost my 37 old daughter is when I found out that the pain and suffering worsened tremendously. I have battled addiction in the past and abusive relationships and would never do it because someone didnt want me or love me anymore. At the time it hurts but you get over it. Sorry, but people now a days I find are even less willing to listen or help. So called family members say shake it off. And that they have their own lives and problems. They intentionally are doing and saying things knowing it's worsening my dreppression. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I HAVE PRAYED FOR YEARS AND STILL PRAYING TO GOD TO HELP ME AND TO FORGIVE THEM. Also I'm in extreme pain from back injuries and a back disease and am not on pain medication. We all sin and fall short of GOD'S GLORY. I BELIEVE IN GOD OUR FATHER. I LOVE JESUS and it's really aggravating when people ASSUME your faith is not strong enough and say that's why I'm suffering. On the contrary My FAITH IN JESUS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS KEPT ME GOING THIS LONG FOR ALL THESE YEARS. I'm 62 years old and had and still have a hard life. Physically,Mentally & Financially. I'm tired so I understand how ppl can contemplate not wanting to not live in the flesh anymore. Unless you have walked a mile in someone else's shoes PLEASE DON'T JUDGE AND CALL IT MURDER YOU ARE NOT KILLING YOUR SPIRIT!!! YOUR FLESH IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS LEFT BEHIND!!!! AND YOU ARE NOT DOING IT TO ANYONE ELSE!!! I'm not saying committing suicide is okay. But for thoses who have I can understand why. THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR SAVING US ALL OF OUR SINS.

if a person can not shake the feelings of wanting to commit suicide it could be spiritual but it can also be chemical. I pray that you guys bring a lot of healing to the hurting through your ministry! God bless you abundantly above all you can ask or think to ask.

I doubt anyone who kills themselves will go to he'll because in Matthew 24:13 Jesus says those that endure to the end will be saved not those who end themselves however if anyone is thinking of killing themself worship God with all your heart and cry out to him so he may save you and watch his love heal you and cover you Amen.

[@luiscarrion1565]

yes thats what i meant

[@tammymain8456]

Luis Carrion Maybe it depends on the situation. My brother had brain cancer, after surgery he said that he didn't feel himself any more. he lived a while longer, trying to deal with the way he felt and the actual pain, but when he couldn't go on that way any longer, he chose death with dignity. He was saved, he had a Minister friend that came to his house from time to time to minister to him and pray, and that's when he got save. What it all come down to is this, the Lord Jesus Christ is the Judge. ❤️

[@itsallfunandgamestil]

ive felt suicidal thruout my life but i knew killing myself was wrong. the devil tried to put lies in my head, trying to convince that it was okay, "God understands," " just do it." etc...but thankfully i didnt believe him. it wasnt a chance i was willing to take. i would just pray, read Gods Word, and worship, and get filled with the Holy Spirit....the Comforter...who gives peace that surpasses all understanding. and God also opened my eyes about speaking life, not death. i used to always speak how miserable i felt, that my life was worthless, no one cared, life sucks, etc...it became reality. now im learning to speak Gods Word, no matter how i feel on the inside. now i say things like, "i wasnt given a spirit of fear but power, love, and a sound mind." or "this is the day the Lord has made, i will rejoice and be glad in it," "im a new creation in Christ," "Im the head not the tail," if God is for me, who can be against me?" no matter how bad you wanna speak negative, dont do it. words dont come back void. and if you're depressed because you feel so lonely, take comfort knowing that other believers are alone, feeling the same way too. the world rejects us because we dont desire to do what they're doing. but our suffering is nothing compared to the glory we'll receive when Jesus returns.

[@approvedofGod]

These men are ignoring that Christians are attacked by the enemy, and some go into deep depression. A person who commits suicide is not what Jesus calls an "overcomer." This kind of teaching has opened the door for the enemy to destroy lives. There are eternal consequences if we die in our sins.

[@approvedofGod]

***** Speaking of strawman arguments, accepting Christ before suicide? You might ask yourself the question, what kind of gospel are you believing in? I can give you tons of scriptures for this, but I have a feeling your don't want to really see this. Judging by your comments, the bible is not your first choice.

[@approvedofGod]

***** If a weak human is overcomed by a demon, there is a strong issue with why this is happening. Mental illness is another different situation. Depending on how severe, we cannot make a judgment call. All these scenarios can be answered by you if you believe that Jesus is the "way, the truth, and the life." If you don't believe this, then you are not a Christian.

[@philippeacock6406]

I find it sad that you choose to imply that a christian who commits suicide might not really have genuine faith. Who are you to judge someone's faith and what struggles they may be going through? Depression is real and serious. Christians aren't immune from it any more than they are immune from the flu. It is a human condition, not a non-christian condition.

[@jasonbiggs1624]

Well yes the church should comfort people who are experiencing troubles in their life, and that includes depression. But don't mistaken that somehow the church condemning suicide as a way to deal with problems is somehow meaing that we don't understand your suffering. Paula and the other apostles went through hell in their preaching for the Gospel but knew Christ and boldly went through their suffering, since that suffering created characters. Suffering, wether it be depression or mental illness, the bible does not imply that suicide is a prescriptive measure to take. It fact it says to love life and love Jesus and perservere.

[@JordanEmmons]

Jason Biggs Of course the Bible says suicide is not a prescriptive measure to take, but what we're saying is that making the implication that someone who commits suicide just "didn't believe in Jesus enough" is also wrong. Mental illness and depression cannot always be "solved" with prayer and perseverance, it requires understanding and in many instances MEDICATION. To undercut that in the name of the Bible is abhorrent.

[@jasonbiggs1624]

Jordan Emmons Bringing people to the bible and teach them what they ought not to do is not undercutting their situation. No one undercuts someones feelings when we tell a person who hates another that they should forgive them. To your first point, the two men were not making a judgement on someones salvation, but telling them how to examine oneself. We don't make the judgement on someones salvation, yes, but that doesn't mean if a Christian who fornicates and steal shouldn't be examining oneself about their salvation and the gift of the holyspirit, since the holy spirit regenerates our heart that goes in line with God. If someone commits suicide and they profess to be a Christian, I and you as well cannot say that they are Christians and thus are safe from condemnation, sicne that disobedience to murder onself brings into question their very assurance and should incentivize people not even go into that area. If we don't even know if your a Christian who saved after that, then we should not test God grace and stray away from disobedience.

[@philippeacock6406]

Jason Biggs I disagree with you. In the video, Todd Wagner said, “Suicide is not the unforgivable sin, but it does beg the question, a person who commits suicide, ok? Do they know the all-sufficient God?” If they are not making a judgment on someone's salvation, then they have a funny way of talking. Sure sounds to me like they are doing just that. He talks a lot about "abiding." Now surely any pastor would know that there are many Christians with differing views of what "abiding" means. To some it merely means bearing fruit (vine, branches, fruit, etc.), but to others, when they see that branches who don't bear fruit (i.e. not abiding in Christ) are thrown into the fire, they see that as salvation versus damnation (i.e. fire == hell). So whether it's "not abiding" or "not knowing the all-sufficient God" or saying "no one who knows God would do that" -- they all sound a lot like what I said initially, that they are questioning the faith of someone who attempts to commit suicide, or who is depressed to the point of considering it. I was not saying the church is inattentive to people with mental illness and their problems, although that is too often the case. I was saying that if one's response to suicide attempts and/or depression is to "buck up" (i.e. experience the joy of God, abide in Him, and "real believers" don't think like that), that you are completely ignoring the fact that many people with these problems have real issues that require real treatment, whether medical or otherwise. Would you tell someone with a profusely bleeding wound that God is all-sufficient, to abide and experience his joy? Of course not, you would administer first aid and get them the medical attention they need as fast as possible. In other words, when you meet such a person, it's probably not their lack of faith, or that their faith isn't genuine, or that they don't know the "all-sufficient God" as pastor Wagner put it, but rather that they may have real issues requiring treatment that are just as serious as cancer or any other health problem.

[@jasonbiggs1624]

Philip Peacock Then now you have gone away from scripture and delve into mans reason, which we should not be doing. We would question anyone salvation who commit any sin and then dies afterwards, and suicide is murdering oneself, same as murdering another one. Ok we agree that they should receive care, but their situation does not justify them sinning and if any of you are saying that because they killed themselves out of a situation where they were depressed, then your justifying that sin, and that's wrong. God who gave you life and the holy spirit did not at any point decide to take your life despite what you have to go through, why are they somehow given the prerogative to take their own life?

SAVED CHRISTIANS WHO COMMIT SUICIDE ARE STILL ETERNALLY SAVED. Samson, a true man of God who committed SUICIDE IS STILL ETERNALLY SAVED. Judges 16:28-30 - 28 Then Samson PRAYED TO THE LORD, “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get REVENGE on the Philistines for my two eyes.” 29 Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, 30 Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived. Contrary to what many believe, God's Word clearly states that Samson despite committing SUICIDE/MURDER is still eternally saved because of the VERY NATURE OF ETERNAL LIFE. HEBREWS 11:32 - 32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, SAMSON, and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets. The very nature of ETERNAL LIFE is that it CANNOT BE UNDONE no matter what happens to the saved Christian, no matter what he/she does or does not do down the line will NOT undo God's free gift of ETERNAL LIFE. Here are the Scriptural passages to prove it: Jesus Himself says in John 5:24 - 24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me HAS ETERNAL LIFE and will not be judged but has CROSSED OVER from death to life. The word, "has" is in PRESENT tense and the phrase "crossed over from death to life" is in PAST tense. Both the word and the phrase indicate the VERY NATURE of eternal life which cannot be reversed no matter what happens down the line. Again, Jesus Himself says in John 10:28-29 - 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. The apostle Paul says in Romans 8:38-39 - 38 FOR I AM CONVINCED THAT NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE, NEITHER ANGELS NOR DEMONS, NEITHER THE PRESENT NOR THE FUTURE, NOR ANY POWERS, 39 NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH NOR ANYTHING ELSE IN ALL CREATION, WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. This includes SUICIDE for the saved Christian.

[@HansS11160]

Samson did NOT commit suicide! You are in fact SUGGESTING that God gave Samson the power so that he could MURDER himself. That was NOT the intention of Samson at all. He knew that He would die, like JESUS knew He would die on the cross, but he didn't die out of selfishness, but in order to avenge himself because of the loss of his eyes and because he knew that the collapsing temple would kill a lot of enemies of God and of God's chosen people. He died a HEROIC DEATH and suicides aren't heroic at all, because they cause a lot of GRIEF among the loved ones of the perpetrator of the act of self MURDER.

[@wtom04]

***** Your comment - "Samson did NOT commit suicide! You are in fact SUGGESTING that God gave Samson the power so that he could MURDER himself." My comment - You did not read the passage in Judges 16:28-30 CAREFULLY. Judges 16:28-30 - 28 And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O LORD GOD, REMEMBER ME, I PRAY THEE, AND STRENGTHEN ME, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. 29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. 30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.

[@wtom04]

***** You are contradicting yourself when you said, " but he didn't die out of selfishness, but in order to avenge himself because of the loss of his eyes...." My comment - Is not VENGEANCE a selfish act because of the loss of Samson's 2 eyes? Samson's act of vengeance consisting of a simultaneous MURDER/SUICIDE is clearly "AN EYE FOR AN EYE", is it not?? I'd say it was a combination of an act of suicide/murder and heroism all rolled into one.

[@HansS11160]

wtom04 Samson would have rather had his eyes back so that he could SEE what he was doing while killing the Philistines the way he did before, but he realized that due to his LOOKING with LUST at the beautiful FLESH of the women of the enemy he had gotten himself into trouble, and he knew that God had chastised him for this, by allowing the enemy to capture him and to take away his sight. So asking to get his eyes back would have been asking too much, though he could ask God to give him back his former power and just once, so that he could destroy even more Philistines than ever before. God agreed with this request and so Samson's death was not an act of suicide, but a sacrifice, because Samson knew that the only way to do this was by dying himself too.

I have to disagree, only because God wants us to have faith. Killing yourself is abandoning hope and thus faith in him that he will not put more on you than you can bear. So I have to say, not trusting in God is just as bad as not believing that he will see you through.

To the host of this page, please make sure that there is continuity between the suicide topic and your death by decision topic, (women with cancer who decided to end her life medically) because it can be confusing to one listening who may think that there's a difference between death by decision and suicide! Thanks!

Thanks for your comment mrdanielleebrown - be sure to check out our most recent episode where we answered that question specifically. In regard to your comment the taking of ones own life is suicide rather that be jumping off of a bridge, or taking a pill to end your own life....it's suicide. It's our hope and prayer that everyone will come to trust The Sovereign God with their life and circumstances all the way until He alone draws their life to a close.

According to NDE's, there is understanding, but they have to "work their way back up the ladder". I for one feel more comfortable with that than the whole instant snap of the finger "your going to hell right then and there!" for escaping troubles either physical, emotional, financial or personal. A lot of people truly, truly can't cope with such issues, and often times they will look for a much easier way out, which is "Exit" Stage left. I guess that's the reality of free will. Gifts can be either a cursing or a blessing. Life itself is an enormous gift, but with a gift like that comes with all sorts of issues of various nature and responsibilities, a lot of which can be very overwhelming.

[@baddude4863]

This ultimate act can be brought on by other people, which is actually their intentions. There are people enduring a life worse than the hell you imagine right here on earth today.

As a slightly older Catholic viewer on this topic. I believe that you've been given life and it's not for you to take it! I don't abscribe to the faith alone perspective. It's not only what you believe, it's what you do that seals the deal one way or the other. Taking your life is a Mortal sin. By doing so, you abuse G_d's ultimate gift to us on this green earth... But of course only G_d has the ultimate say!

[@SteveDoherty51]

Suicide is a sin. Period. In order for a sin to be forgiven, it MUST BE REPENTED of. (Luke 17:3-4,-Luke 13:3,5) It would be very difficult to repent of this sin, if you were no longer living. If you die without yours sins (ALL OF THEM) being forgiven, what do you think will happen to that person?

[@AntiVillain26845]

"Additionally, who will really have the time to confess every single sin before we die? Some of us will die instantly, without warning. Others may slowly die, but even then-after we confess as many sins as we can think of-there are still sins that we have committed against God and our neighbor that we aren’t even aware of! So the usual reason given for suicide being an unforgivable sin doesn’t seem to hold up to the Bible or experience." - Nicholas Davis

I agree. My husband committed suicide in 2019. He destroyed our marriage, he was an alcoholic who chose the bottle over family. He overdosed on klonopin and seroquel so if he missed heaven it was his own fault. I loved my husband but he didn’t love his life and that’s just the simple truth.😢

[@usa91787]

So here's my take - but only from this end not from God's because I can't pretend to know what he thinks. You can love God just like you can love a person but if you don't feel worthy of any gifts from God or that person that's not rejecting anything but it does compound your feeling of not being worthy. You think you suck as a human being and don't deserve the love shown you and then they go ahead and give you a gift. You can't accept it fully if you don't think you deserve it to begin with. So it's all fine and dandy for people to say "it's as easy as accepting the gift" but for lots of people that's nearly impossible. And it deepens the feeling of unworthiness.

[@marialmartins8749]

Vesna Volf Ⓥ . Hi. My name is Lina and i m a Pastor fron Revival church. Purgatory does not existe according with the Scripture of God. Reincarnation also is a lie because we are suppost to live just once and after our dead will be there judment . So where we will be staying our Eternal life. With God or in Hell with satan. Hebrews 9:27-28 New International Version (NIV) 27 Just as people are destined to die just once and after that to face the judment day so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

[@cassiebennet4262]

Reincarnation is a satanic lie.

[@bryanstark324]

So if someone hasn't had the peace that you speak about because their workplace is a war zone full of back stabbers, liars and demons (you could say he works in hell) then would you say that they are not saved? Here's a guy who did everything everyone else did, accept Christ into his heart, and the fruits of that decision are a very strong desire to know God and to do what he asks, yet, no matter how much prayer is offered up to God, life just keeps getting worse and worse. Well, do you blame them really for feeling that death is preferable? Anyway, I feel this conversation you guys had here are a little superficial and inauthentic. It tells me you've never really faced the challenges that others have faced. But I don't know everyone has their tolerance level. Anyway, I'm in California. There are no churches here that have trustworthy Christians that I can even talk to.

Suicide is giving up on God, and giving in to the devil.

[@kittykatross3896]

I can't remember the 10 commandments. Dos it say "Thou shall not commit suicide" I know about "Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife"

[@lunevermeil1400]

Yes they would make the decision to commit suicide even if they were saved. Suicide is often the end of a long road with disease. Depression is a disease, as much as cancer or coronary heart disease. Both of which you can contract through life decisions such as poor eating habits. So if someone who is saved can eat a horrible fatty diet and get heart disease, and die, then someone with depression can be destroyed by their disease. At least in terms of a chemical imbalance it is most likely not their fault, unlike eating too many double doubles.

[@jasonbiggs1624]

Well tell that to the earlier members of the church who decided to go through suffering without resorting to suicide

[@lunevermeil1400]

Jason Biggs how very arrogant and ignorant. Depression is a disease one that over takes some. Suffering for your beliefs is nothing compared to suffering the turmoil of a disease. Take your sanctimonious judgment and save it. Your judgement helps no one but yourself. It gives you the satisfaction from looking down on people. People who suffer from depressed need our compassion and sympathy. They don't need to be judged, or told they are sinners.

[@jasonbiggs1624]

Lune Vermeil Well yes it's true the circumtances aren't the same. In fact suffering for your beliefs is much harder then suffering because of terminal illness. I wasn't making a judgement or saying that people who commit suicide aren't Christians. But im wondering do you recommend suicide to people who have depression? WHy would you advise them to murder themselves and how is that in anyway honoring God? Should you not use your circumstance to be a light for others and build others? Yes we go through tough times, but everything we do must be done for the honor of God, not ourselves or what we like to do. Nothing in your answer has anything to do about if this is what God wants.

[@lunevermeil1400]

First that's extreme hubris saying that the suffering for one's beliefs is worse than from a terminal illness. Suffering is an individual thing, everyone has their breaking point, and each point is different. As for nothing in my answer mentioning God's will, that's because we have no way of knowing what his will is. You and the video act as if you know God's will. You impose your beliefs on others, because you think it's God's will people suffer. Last I checked God is compassionate, suffering is the anthetisis of that. Nice to see you putting words in my mouth though. I guess when you can't hold a civil discussion simply state a false position for your opponent and then label them as evil, irrational or whatever you will, in your mind so you can ignore their points and perspective. I never recommended people commit suicide, but I won't label them sinners, or say they are throwing away what God gave them. It's not our life, we have no idea how God moves upon their heart. What respites God has given them. We have no idea what suffering they go through. How many hours they have spent in prayer begging for a solution beyond suicide. You are judging them, you're taking the stance that they aren't right with God because they succumbed to an illness. You have no clue if they are right with God or not. You claim those who suffer for their religion suffered more, you have no idea. You speak of honoring God, anyone who judges those who suffer, like the maker of this video do not honor God.

[@jasonbiggs1624]

Lune Vermeil Yes we know what the will of God is. In fact he made it know to use with the Bible, and the bible in no way prescribe death as a viable method to alliveate one suffering. Here's a good way to know God will. If he wants you to die to be with him, he will take your life. If your alive right now, chances are god wants you to be alive at this point in time, either through suffering or not. It is disturbing at how you are offended when people like the pastor take people to the word and say that we lack understanding. Shouldn't we read the bible then since we are reading from the one who understands everything?

No, those who commit suicide (murder) don't get everlasting life. The dead can't repent of their sins. Only the living have a chance to ask for forgiveness for their sins. Once we leave this body God will judge us. Our salvation is not determined by how nice we are. We are to be obedient to the word of God. If he has commanded that murderers will not inherit the kingdom, than murdering yourself would disqualify you. Satan is the author of confusion, and many people believe his lies concerning suicide. Suicide is a awful act that is not of God. It causes so much pain for those left behind, so why would anyone think that God would be ok with this. The first place satan attacks is the mind, so it is extremely important that we teach our children and others around how to combat this demonic spirit. We have a short time here on earth to repent of our sins and turn the other way. If you commit the sin of suicide, how does one repent and ask for forgiveness? People remember the word of God says my people are destroyed for a lack knowledge. Many will perish because of all the confusion concerning this matter.
