Default Re: Do Christians who commit suicide go to Heaven?

I'm just winging it here.

There is a commandment that says thou shall not murder. I'd think killing yourself would pretty much violate that commandment and would be indicative of a rebellious heart not submitted to God.

But there is another side to the coin we should look at here. Some people suffer from extreme mental illness. Almost to the point they can't be held accountable for their actions. They've lost grasp with reality and just can't function. I'd view this as an extreme situation.

If someone has reached this extreme mental state where they've just lost grasp on reality and can't be held accountable, and they go and kill themselves, I personally would like to think God takes that in to consideration.

That's more of a reasoned wish on my part, than anything founded in scripture, so take that in to consideration.

1. Show the near/soon wording of Rev. 1 and 22.
2. Read Olivet discourse. Show temple destruction is expected in their life time.
3. Inform that destruction of temple in AD 70 is a BIG deal.
4. Point out the historical events that line up with Daniels weeks.
5. Use history from that time period and place.
