If you are speaking of Christian beliefs on suicide I’m not an expert. Growing up in church and going to several different denominations it’s my understanding there’s differences in beliefs. Honestly I don’t know. I’ve been taught once saved always saved, at least that’s what Baptist believe. I personally believe most people that commit suicide aren’t in their right mind. I believe God doesn’t punish children and people that are mentally ill. Like many questions there are things we will never know until we are in heaven.
My personal belief is that God put us here for a reason, if we bail early we are going back on whatever it was we agreed to come here to do.
As to what the consequences are for such an act, well, I'd rather not find out the hard way.
Absolutely!
It's always been one of the "rules" I do not agree with. I'm very lucky that even at my lowest, I never entertained suicide (except briefly giving up my fight against cancer when I was a kid because chemo was absolutely fucking horrible - mom talked me back into the fight).
Then when in the Marines, I saw and knew a few who committed suicide and what they went through and saw, it's hard to truly blame them.
It's just never been a rule I've supported. Maybe I've had to constantly think of death my entire life. Not too many 18 year olds have million dollar life is insurance and wills, but this guy does!
