Do people who commit suicide go to heaven?, For the Catholics and stuff, I guess. Options

[*The Markster*]

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 ..)

^ That is what I find so contracdicting about this God issue. Why are there priviledged people and born-to-live and die-poor people? Why did God choose? Isn't that a form of discrimination?
What of those poor babies who are born with physical disorders? Why would He do that to innocent kids? Finally, he doesn't love everyone as much as Christians think He does.

I don't understand how you came to your last statement, well here you go: (I think the second applies most below)

I dont think its contradicting, I mean everyone is different and does different things, and will suffer the consequences for it. I don't think I should be punished the same for everyone else's sins, but only my own, which of course we all have really broken all the rules that God has laid out (i'll explain if you want me to).

Ultimately, the Lord has a purpose for all the things He has created, no matter how large or insignificant.

"First, we know there are some good purposes for evil. God often makes us aware of greater evils, that could arise by using lesser evils as warning signs. For example, the pain of a toothache warns us of a cavity. If not taken care of, it oculd require a root canal or other dental surgery (ouch!). Pain is often necessary to keep us from destroying ourselves. The first time we were burnt with a hot kitchen pan or an automobile engine was not fun, but it made us aware of the need to avoid hot materials. If we didn't learn, there could be even more severe consequences that could result in the form of losing life or limb.

Second, we may not know the purpose God has for evil, but that doesn't mean there is none. It is unreasonable to assume that God has no good reason for evil just because we are unaware of it...

Third, God allows evil in order to ultimately defeat evil. Jesus' death on the cross is a good example...... God permitted an evil injustice (Christ's death) to occur to one person (Jesus) in order to accomplish mercy for many *humankind).

God has good purpose for the evil that we may encounter even though we don't understand it."

Personally, I have a mentally disabled cousin. He is such a blessing and God can use them in many ways that we (me and you) may not understand. He can place thoughts in that persons mind to speak aloud even though the person speaking does it know what they are saying or not understand fully like we do, they can minister to other people's hearts.

Deaths in families can often bring a close family member to realization.

There are so many other examples if you want more.

I agree. But wouldnt you think that anyone who would go to the point of killing themselves is mentally unstable, or at least in a altered state of mind? Alot of people who kill themselves wouldnt normally go to that extreme. They just become so depressed and overwhelmed.

"Why didnt God save them since he has extraordinary powers?"
That's what I'm wondering. But what about the millions of people dying in Africa from aids, or children dying of cancer? Or babies being aborted? It doesnt seem like God's taking care of any of that either.

I think the first and third above ^ apply.
