Forgive me if this is a pretty stupid question, but do people who commit suicide go to heaven? I see how it can be wrong to kill your own self, a creation of God, but doesn't God want us all to be happy? I think .. I wanna know what you guys think.
(Btw, how do I make this into a poll ..) |

QUOTE(xKatt @ Jun 26 2007, 01:03 AM)  Well, according to Christians, God gave you life and by destroying it, you're kind of spitting on his face. And if I were God and I made you and you killed yourself, I wouldn't let you set foot in heaven because clearly you haven't earned it! But of course I'm not God, nor am I a Christian, so I really don't have a completely valid input on this. Oh yeah and if God wanted you to be happy, why would he condemn homosexuality? Worshipping a different god? Having sex before marriage? All of these things could bring you happiness, but they're sins. So does God really want you to be happy? And being miserable enough to commit suicide doesn't seem to fit the definition of happiness. You're going from misery to nothingness. Where does happiness come into the equation? God is loving, but just. His ultimate goal is not happiness, but salvation. If you read in the Bible, the most faithful followers weren't exactly happy. They were tortured for their faith. It's not really about this life, but what comes afterwards. And if you give yourself to Him, then He will reward you for your dedication and hard work. And I'm sorry to say that this point your making about happiness is ridiculous. According to Christianity, homosexuality is a sin, so is worshipping a different god, as well as fornication. But, sin only lasts for a season. Happiness is different for everyone. I find happiness in not thinking about myself all the time, because if you think about yourself all the time, you manage to pick out all your flaws, have a lack of respect for people, and so on. QUOTE(Arjuna Capulong @ Jun 29 2007, 12:41 AM) It's because the "Christian" "Hell" and "Heaven" are inaccurate. Someone's going to bite me for not backing that up, right? I've talked about it quite a bit before, but I'll wait anyway. Yeah, I've heard that. If you look back at the original translations, it's something different right? I know what you're talking about, but lets stay on the subject or else this will go on for ever. This post has been edited by Arjuna Capulong: Jun 30 2007, 12:48 PM |
