Do people who kill themselves go to hell?

The Bible says there is no sin for which you can't be forgiven if you've accepted Jesus as your personal Savior. I think suicide is easing your own burdens while dumping them all on the people who loved you that you've left behind.

before you become concerned about being saved from it, realize what it truly is.  i am assuming you are a christian based on the fact that you even asked this question.  in the bible, hell is not described as a place of eternal torment for sinners.  hell is a lake of fire, yes.  but the only ones to suffer eternally are those who have already been granted eternal life.  that would be satan and his demons.  the only humans to be granted everlasting life are the ones going to heaven.  those that go to hell simply die.  the lake of fire burns up their sould and they are no more.  see the last chapter of malachi.  think about it.  why would everlasting life be such a big deal if it were also given to those in hell.  why would john 3:16 say- 'shall not PERISH but have everlasting life'.  sinners perish.  if you don't know what perish means, try dictionary.com.

DEFINITELY NOT. How can you profess to follow the Lord Jesus, but turn completely away from Him.  This is called a backslider.  They are not saved and unless they repent and turn from their wicked ways, and be cleansed of their sin, they will go to Hell or be left behind in the soon coming rapture of the TRUE believers of Jesus Christ (whichever comes first).

Yes, but not all of them. I'm sure there are insane people who worship the Lord, but kill people in the name of God. Would they get into Heaven? I'm sure there are mentally challenged people who worship the Lord, and don't go killing people, so they shall be allowed in Heaven. But I'm sure there are those who don't follow, and I don't think they can get into Heaven. No one is allowed in Heaven unless they worship God.

Because the sin of suicide will keep you out of heaven.  If you decide to "play God" and take your own life you will find yourself in a literal burning hell for all eternity.  Sort of an "out of the frying pan into the fire" scenario if you will.  No matter how bad things get for you here on earth if you decide to check out on your own terms it will be SO MUCH worse for you on the other side.  Only God gets to decide when we go to heaven.

Praise God yes honey if they were a believer they most certainly will go to heaven.  Not going to heaven from suicide is something the catholics made up. The only way you can't go to heaven is if you were to deny Jesus as the son of God or that he didn't die for your sins.    .  Praise God there is NO sin too big for God to forgive through Jesus's blood >  Don't let anyone tell you any different.  If they do they are making it up  There is definately nothing in scripture to say anything different.(unless they take scripture out of content)  some people say that by killing yourself you are taking over for God so to speak. I mean that is like saying God isn't in control   God knew what we were going to do before we were made in our mothers womb.  In referenc to destroying the temple of God our bodies.  We are a spirit we live in a body and we have a soul (our mind will and emotions) our bodies are only temporary tents .  your spirit will return to be with God (this is a good example of taking scripture out of content)

Duh!u go to hell.  the only reason being because only god has the right to take your life and you can only repent if you're alive you cant repent when youre dead thats why people tell you to repent before you die so you can get to heaven

It doesn't. All go to hell at death including children and Christians.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god.Look at a map.In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said. Apparently its to difficult for most Christians to actually look up the meaning of a word, they prefer to listen to the lies that their preacher spews from the pulpit. My God will put you in hell when you die,the grave, and regardless of your beliefs or how you lived you will be resurected for judgement. To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14,this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment.I am a Christian and I think its a shame that churches use these kind of scare tactics to keep people in church.

Hell is a place in the astral world, where all souls are "living"in agony and some kind of hopeless faith.God is not punishing You, when you are suiciding You, because you have done it. But we are all here have to fullfill our destiny. And our destiny is a part in a giant Masterplan, where we have our role to play.We have to meet people and we have to realise projects. When you commit suicide, you are leaving your place.That means you have stolen experiences of other people who cannot fullfill their destiny because you are not playing your role anymore in the future. That is the sin. You are a thief. You had to be to a special place to a special time to do a special thing in the future, and because you are death now, and nobody can replace You, you have stolen to the other person a very important experience, who cannot be replaced....

Yes!  The Only way to Heaven is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.  \nSeveral years ago I came out of witchcraft and the occult! I got hooked up in that mess because I was searching for Spiritual Truth and ended up in a realm of hell!  Major contemplations of murder, suicide and the list goes on.  Physically attacked by demons and so on.  I had opened up doors that should've remained closed.  Today wish I had never opened them.  Needless to say I Thank God that He Literally Chased Me Down and Preserved My Life (because by all rights I should be dead) Until I Came To A Point Of Surrender And Allowed Jesus Into My Heart And Saved My Eternal Soul!  That day it literally felt like a HUGE Heavy weight had been lifted off of me!  I know for certain that my name is written in the Lambs Book Of Life, and that is only achieved by CONFESSING WITH YOUR MOUTH that Jesus Christ is Your Lord And Saviour.  There is NO other way to Heaven than that!

Well the Bible says that if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and you accept Him as your Savior then you will be saved. I think anyone who does this will go to heaven. Some people only pull out homosexuality as the only thing in the Bible listed as an abomination and that's simply not true. Liars, gossipers, drunks, and adulterers just to name a few were also listed as abominations and no one just out right says they will go to hell so I don't think it's fair to say that someone will go to hell based on their sexual preference. Plus all sins are forgivable if you repent of them and ask God to help you I don't see why he would punish you instead of helping you. We don't know where their heart is with God so we can't knowingly say where they are going when they die.

It doesn't\n\nSuicides—A Resurrection?\n\nTHE tragic news of a suicide does not close a chapter in the lives of relatives and friends; it opens one—a chapter of mixed feelings of pity and anger, sorrow and guilt. And it raises the question: May we entertain any hope for our friend who took his or her life?\n\nAlthough self-inflicted death is never justified, never righteous, the apostle Paul did hold out a beautiful hope for even some unrighteous ones. As he told a Roman court of law: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15. \nMany theologians have long dismissed any suggestion that the resurrection of the unrighteous might offer hope for those who commit suicide. Why?\n\nCenturies ago, churchmen introduced a non-Biblical concept: immortal souls that leave the body at death and go straight to heaven, purgatory, Limbo, or hell. That concept clashed with the Bible’s clear teaching of a future resurrection. As Baptist minister Charles Andrews asked: “If the soul is already blissfully in heaven (or is already justifiably roasting in hell), what need is there for anything further?” He added: “This inner contradiction has remained to plague Christians throughout the centuries.”\n\nOne result of such errant theology was that “since Augustine’s time [354-430 C.E.], the church has condemned suicide as a sin,” says Arthur Droge in the Bible Review, “a sin beyond redemption, just like apostasy and adultery.”\n\nJesus told a criminal sentenced to death: “You will be with me in Paradise.” The man was unrighteous—a lawbreaker rather than a distraught suicide victim—guilty by his own frank admission. (Luke 23:39-43) He had no hope of going to heaven to rule with Jesus. So the Paradise in which this thief could hope to come back to life would be the beautiful earth under the rule of Jehovah God’s Kingdom.—Matthew 6:9, 10; Revelation 21:1-4.\n\nFor what purpose will God awaken this criminal? So that He mercilessly can hold his past sins against him? Hardly, for Romans 6:7, 23 says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin,” and “the wages sin pays is death.” Although his past sins will not be accounted to him, he will still need the ransom to lift him to perfection.\n\nOnly God can fully understand the role of mental sickness, extreme stress, even genetic defects, in a “suicidal crisis,” which, the National Observer noted, “is not a lifetime characteristic [but] often a matter only of minutes or of hours.”\nGranted, one who takes his own life deprives himself of the opportunity to repent of his self-murder. But who can say whether one driven to suicide might have had a change of heart had his fatal attempt failed? Some notorious murderers have, in fact, changed and earned God’s forgiveness during their lifetime.\nThus, Jehovah, having paid “a ransom in exchange for many,” His Son, is within his right to extend mercy, even to some self-murderers, by resurrecting them and giving them the precious opportunity to “repent and turn to God by doing works that befit repentance.”\n\nThe Scriptures encourage us to see ourselves, not as immortal souls, but as valuable creations of the God who loves us, who treasures our being alive, and who looks forward with joy to the time of the resurrection.\n\n4000 years had passed from Adam & Eve, Jesus said to a Religious Leader that no one had gone to Heaven, and millions of people had passed away in death. This is a quote from the King James Bible: \n\nJohn 3:13 " And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven," \n\nIt seems to me, this would eliminate the "immortal soul" belief, not only that, if you go to Heaven or Hell when you die, you completely do away with the resurrection that the Bible speaks about, because the resurrection is suppose to take place after Jesus comes the second time, and that has

Their motto is usually 'mind over matter', the 'matter' being the ending of a person(s) life, I guess. Perhaps they have the solid mindset that the person they killed deserved to die so with this, they probably sleep better at night with that persons life snuffed out. A psychopath won't feel it perhaps. Those who are of stable minds do feel disgusted with themselves, I'm thinking.. but theres this theory where it is said that the brain automatically erases or fades away bad memories, given a lot of time. There may be a lot of psychological reasons to this but hey.. there are people who feels so disgusted with themselves that they can't bear to live with themselves and resort to suicide. Its a sad and cruel world we live in, huh?

Not tortured but tormented.  Those who go to hell go because of their own actions (#1 action, not accepting the gift Christ offers all).  By not taking the free gift of salvation they choose hell.  Usually one chooses hell because one does not believe the offer is real or their pride won't let go of whatever they'd rather hold on to.\n\nSo, once in hell one realizes the they rejected the free gift and they have to live for eternity knowing that they could have been reunited with God but chose to reject His Son instead.  Torment because in hell, there will be an awareness of what Heaven is like (the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus the begger in Luke 16:19-31) and they will know that they will never get there.  Eternal separation from God because of one's own choice is torment.  And we will burn with guilt and regret forever.  Peace.

Yes these places are real.\nYou will experience Hell for eternity if you commit suicide, because the Bible says that you shouldn't murder (and killing yourself is murder.)\nGod will not take your life; you will have to be saved first.\nI do not worry about death; God protects me. I also do not worry because when I die, it's my time. \nemail me: weir_weirdo@yahoo.com for q's about heaven and hell.

yes, they are going to hell for not believing this: you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. Dont be shy to contact me on this by going to my profile.
