Say someone is Christian and they commit suicide, would they go to heaven still?

I don't think we can make a judgment - we can only hope. Some are carried away by demon forces they don't know how to overcome. It is not something you want to try as a way out though. Listen to this woman's story, who tried, and succeeded at suicide...........

Really, it depends. It can go either way. For example, Saul who was king of Israel committed suicide by thrusting himself on a sword. However, before he died. Saul consulted a medium and Samuel the Prophet came up from the grave and told Saul that he and his sons would come to the place where he was (Samuel). So, from the point in scripture we know that Saul and his sons went to the paradise side of "sheol", which in Hebrew is the grave or hell. However, there was a paradise side and casm seperated the paradise side from the fiery side. Understand that Saul ended up dying the way he did, because he was reaping what he sowed. He killed the anointed priests of God and that was basically calling for judgement to fall on you or spiritually suicide. Saul, despite all of this actions and evils was anointed of God. Saul repented from chasing David and his evil acts, but it was too late. He was already judged and he had to reap what he sowed. And it was God's grace and mercy which allowed him to make to where Samuel was. Now Judas the disciple of Jesus hung himself, because he did something similar to Saul. Judas turned Jesus over to the Jews which was like committing spiritual suicide. Judas was sorrowful of what he did to the Lord, however he did not repent. The bible says godly sorrows produces repentance, but worldly sorrow produces death in one of the book of Corinthians. Judas had the worldly sorrow. He went to hell. Why? Because the Lord Jesus said of the man that would betray Him, "..........it would have been better if that man have never been born". So, it depends on what's going on in people lives at the closing of their end here on earth.

It depends on what is in their heart...and only God can tell that. If someone is of sound mind and purposefully plans it...then,yes because it would be murder. If someone is mentally unbalanced and does so in a 'spur of the moment' and does not contemplate the action..then more than likely they would see heaven...if they knew Jesus as their Savior.

After all He did nave compassion.

They would say they were following God as Christians believe God committed suicide.

I've read that if someone does suicide they'll be stuck in a void until there life was really supposed to end, but who knows, just going by people who tried to kill themselves said.

Christians are Split on this issue

Most Pentecostals would say you would Go straight to Hell ,,,,and Baptist would say No you don't

Both have a theological bases for their position

If they were a true Christian, I find it hard to see that happening, but nonetheless, because of God's grace, they'd still go to heaven

This is a lengthy and complex issue, and the answers are rooted in scripture, but albeit not easily found.

Only God can answer this question and He always has the final say. He judges the hearts of man, and His word is our guideline as well as our lifeline.

To explain suicide is to over look God in a way that the grieving heart does not realize. I've had people say ' A true Christian wouldn't suicide' but then again, who's a 'true' Christian? We all hurt in one form of another, and there are those who are extremely tender hearted that they feel a loss, a void, abandoned and dejected by God.

A person who is contemplating suicide loves God in their own right ( I'm talking about a believer) But they've placed their hope in the wrong things, and there fore they do not know the ways of God or who He is, because they are under a strong assumption born out of a false pretense that God is looking down from heaven taking delight in everyone's demise.

The roots of suicide run deep, but they are not given to man from God, and because of who God is- He is good- EXCLUSIVELY, He cannot change. His mercy is on everyone, and we are subject to sin.

Hardships come to us via our sin nature within, as well as the sin nature that is within the world. Look in Genesis. God cursed the serpent, and cursed the ground but never Adam or Eve.

I am trying to be brief.

Genesis also tells us that God will call us into account for our spilled blood, or death of blood loss beause life is in the blood. This is a lengthy study, and we do not have time to go into it here, but the unseen mandate from God- the breath of life given to Adam, is in every man and scripture tells us that the body returns to the dust of the earth and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

This is why we are to not eat or drink blood, because of the unseen properties contained in our blood.

God takes our death very seriously, however it comes to us... Naturally through sin as in natural decay, or other means.

God allowed His son to die so that we might have life. To die by suicide is to die not knowing, not believing, and not standing in the faith of what Jesus Christ did on that cross so long ago.

This is not a judgment, this is truth because I've been helping others to bring them back to a place of restoration to God through Christ and this is the number one reason why suicide occurs. Because we do not know the promises of God well enough or at all to stand firm in them to know who we really are.

Suicide is not of God, it is not something He allows, and again, only He has the final say because only He can look into the individuals heart and see the love of God missing, or present.

So where does suicide come from? Some say it is a sin, why? Because the roots of suicide come from sin itself. Most people do not like to be labeled as a sinner, or someone who does wrong, and certainly with suicide, people struggling with suicide and depression will say and have told me 'I've done nothing wrong, I don't deserve this." While that is true to some degree, the person is still living a life of fear, dejection and turning to the ways of the world for comfort and not looking to God for support.

God is a God of His word, and we can't expect to get by on confessing with our mouths that God is good, or God is the one true God without believing this. Suicide robs us of our belief, strips us of our faith and is the standing platform for the enemy to gain a foot hold.

So is suicide a sin? Yes, it is. But instead of going around and waving that as a banner, I'd like us to focus on the love of God, and help restore those struggling to a place of comfort and renew their spirits by focusing in on who God is, and how He can heal ANYONE from suicide and depression.

To figure out how suicide is a sin without all the judgment that goes along with calling sin out, I invite you to read an free online study that exposes the roots of suicide with scripture. (The Spiritual Roots of Suicide)

To understand more about the blood- please read the study entitled 'Adam's Rib" also available online through this link.

I'm hoping this is highly hypothetical. But no, considering heaven doesn't exist.

God knows our heart. His decision is right. We are not saved because we are sinless. We are saved because we are forgiven
