If a person attempts suicide, but lives and then repents and asks forgiveness, will he still go to hell?

Does God ever forgive a suicide survivor? Is it only murderers and baby rapists who can repent and go to heaven? Is there any hope of heaven for those who fail to kill themselves? If not, what should they do with the rest of their time on earth since they will end up in hell anyway?

    Why in God's good name would you want to believe in a God who forgives murderers and baby rapists thier crimes...but not a suicide? Doesn't that violate YOUR ethical code? I mean...what sort of God would ask you to violate your own beliefs for him, if he truly loved you? What sort of God even requires your beleif at all :P Yikes.

    I wouldn't ask that question on here because you're going to get a plethora of bible bashers trying to put the 'fear of god' up you. I recomend you read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, then use what he teaches you to go searching for your own answers.

    I also suggest you forget everything you think you know about God, and rely on what you FEEL. You'll never get to the truth in the words of other people.

    It doesn't matter what type of sin a person does. A person who steals and a person who murders is still equal because sin is sin. Because everyone sins if you ask for forgivness you will be saved.

    God forgives murderers, child abusers, and rapists. Why would he not forgive those who try to commit suicide?

    I believe God will always forgive if you truly regret what you have done, repent and ask for His forgiveness.

    nicely God won't torture ANY soul in hellfire that's definite as a results of fact God is love, and he supplies love even to the undeserving. God purely hates the sin no longer the sinner. purely God himself and the authority he gave to Jesus can forgive sins commited as we people can no longer understand the coronary heart subject of yet somebody else and their individual physique of ideas. yet could a individual sense that existence is so insufferable could seek for help could they provide theory to suicide. drawing on the threshold of God as I my self stumbled on and gaining precise awareness of his applications to deal finally with the soreness, suffering and wickedness that fills the earth at present is extremely sturdy for no longer purely your non secular welfare yet in addition your psychological welfare physique of ideas. to seek for out how God who will quickly draw and end to the unrighteous and ill soreness inflicted on people particularly to even you is extremely fresh to the soul, you will see that a fashion out to the way you sense now plenty extra, and function a real destiny you may seem forward to. considering the fact that I took up a bible learn with Jehovah's Witnesses my eyes have been opened to Bible truths that have been close away as a results of fact for years I listened to fake unscriptural teachings. Suicide is a bad element as existence is priceless even although the worldwide at present we are residing in, existence very almost seems low-fee, yet to God the orginator of all residing issues to him existence is extremely sacred interior the main powerful sense. the worldwide is a bad place with new horrors unfurling daily 2 Timothy 3:a million says the final days severe circumstances difficult to handle would be right here - love that's perfect now!. that's unsuprising that some human beings do sense suicidal in this undesirable worldwide yet leaning on God and not your own awareness (Proverbs 3:5) and your writer can handbook you for the time of the turmoil and supply you genuine wish to a real happiness and supply you capability to bear so as that very quickly you may join a clean earth of righteousness and luxuriate in peace and consistently existence that God as deliberate and consistently meant for mankind in the worldwide and soreness and suffering and disease would be not extra Revelation 21:4; 2 Peter 3:13. you will on no account seem back.
