Re: Do Christians who commit suicide go to Heaven?
Econgrad has it right. The whole reason Jesus died for us is because of our sin. And as Christians if we say we don't sin we are liars....so every Christian commits sin. We are not perfect, not only in our life, but in our relationship with God. We are human beings with flaws etc. And just because someone has committed suicide does not mean they are not Chrisitans. Paul was at a point once when he was in jail where he said he was "sorrowful to the point of death". Paul was not always on top of things either because he was a human being, he was not God. And even Jesus in the Garden was so overwhelemed with emotion he sweat blood. So a very distraught Christian may decide to end thier life. I am not going to judge them. But what I do know is that like all the other sins we commmit, it is under the blood of Jesus. And for those of you up there saying murderers etc don't inherit the word of God remember that list of sins include sins such as slander, envy, etc. And if that is true, then none of us are getting there cause none of us is perfect. And Salvation is a gift given once and can not be taken back. "Though we are faithless, he will be faithful, for he can not deny himself'..
