If I were to commit suicide, would I go to hell?

    Hell being separated from God for all eternity, and if suicide is because of feeling so separated from God that one cannot remember that God gave life, not circumstances, and that God is in every particle of one's being, then there would be this separation and the hellishness of that would burn in the soul for all eternity. This life is a gift, this life that courses through our bodies, humans by their choices make life a heaven or hell on earth for themselves and others. There are always others to help if one is willing to reach out.

    As to what happens between a person and His Maker, is between that person and God. I certainly don't need to find out that way. Life's short enough as it is. Don't quit five minutes before the miracle.

    Holding all those who are considering this way to end the painful circumstances in prayer that they may keep breathing long enough to feel the unconditional love that surrounds all of us all the time, if we are but willing to connect to that awareness and to reach out to others who are willing to help if we cannot connect to it, in the meantime.

    Thanks for the Q :)

    You're already in hell... and your happiness level as a spirit will remain the same if you die miserably. It would be much better for your soul if you find the secret to happiness while you are still alive.

    Sometimes, those horrible feelings can be hormonally driven, or even just food intolerance reactions. That's what it was for me.

    It sounds really lame, but honestly, this diet was a God-send for me, and changed everything about how I feel about myself... because I stopped messing my brain chemistry up with eating the wrong foods.

    God put us on the Earth for a purpose. Think about your life: do you feel like you've finished your purpose?

    Suicide is not an action I would risk on Heaven VS Hell. By ending your life, you're giving up EVERYTHING.

    you would, from the other side of death, watch your loved ones suffer because of your suicide and be unable to tell them you're sorry, you would see the things that God had for you and YOU alone to do in this world be left undone and others suffer because of it, and you would be unable to fix it and have to people struggle and suffer because you weren't there when you were supposed to and weren't doing what only you could do, you would see those you were meant to love in this life...see their lives empty because you didn't "show up" in the course of their lives and see how important you were to so many but be unable to do anything about it and would watch it all in the most painful detail because you would be right there....and not be able to say anything that anyone could hear....and then have to account to God for why you would inflict so much pain and suffering on the world by your loss and selfish act (presuming you weren't insane or having a medical excuse for comitting suicide).

    Each of us is VERY important and has a mission that ONLY we can do and fulfil.

    Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You don't go anywhere, you cease to exist. Your family however has to clean up the mess and deal with the pain that your totally selfish decision has caused.

    Yes. Hell, or Sheol is the place where the spirits of people await the resurrection and final judgement. Even Christ went there to preach the gospel during the three days in which he was dead.

    Suicide is not what determines if a person goes to hell. To deny Christ as your savior is what determines whether or not you go to hell. If He is your savior you would not have suicidal tendencies.

    No, you'd be born all over to have the opportunity to learn and get it right perhaps in another body, perhaps not in this time line, but I believe rebirth is necessary for suicides.

    I don't know. Taking of a life without justification is wrong, so I believe it is a sin....and if you are dead, it stands to reason that you can not ask forgiveness. At the same time however, I believe that anyone who takes their own life is mentally deranged at the time. Only God knows I guess.

    If you can make a judgment about going to hell if you kill yourself....I think you'd be aware enough not to commit suicide.
