If believers and lovers of Christ go to Heaven (a better place) when they die... then why don't they kill themselves?

if they kill themselves, that means they didnt enjoy the life that god give them to live for.
and if they did that (killing themselves) for just to go to haven, they will end up going to HELL.....
but thous who kill themselves might have a problems in ther life, like a lone from bank that they cant give it back.

This was sent to me and it makes me sick! A friend, a sister to me just passed away. LITERALLY JUST PASSED AWAY IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.....YOUR POLL SUCKS!

I have had two wives die. You have my sympathy. People who need to ask these Questions have not yet found the answers they need.

Thank you

Christians are supposed to follow the path of Jesus and Jesus committed suicide, so it seems very clear that every Christian should kill themselves ASAP.

John 10:17-18 "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself."

A person who dies rescuing another does not commit suicide, though he dies from his own actions.

That's a delightful non-sequitur.

Jesus died to save others - it was not suicide.

It is considered suicide when someone purposely dies.

Maybe by you, but if I die trying to save someone, no one I know will call it a suicide.

the reason why is there was a Christian Cult who went around attacking and killing people so they would be killed so they could die and go be martred when that failed they committed sucide in such numbers the church then said oh killing yourself is a hell worthy Tresspass to stop people from killing themselves to be with Christ

Google the Christian Circumcellions suicide-sect

The Circumcellions were a Christian suicide cult of the fourth and fifth centuries. Their religious practice consisted of delivering random beatings to strangers along the road, with the purpose of goading the strangers into killing them. If that didn't work, they just threw themselves off a cliff instead.

Frequently, their enthusiasm outstripped their common sense. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, a much-discussed historical incident along the highway illustrated this point:

A number of these fanatics, fattened like pheasants, met a young man and offered him a drawn sword to smite them with, threatening to murder him if he refused. He pretended to fear that when he had killed a few, the rest might change their minds and avenge the deaths of their fellows; and he insisted that they must all be bound. They agreed to this; when they were defenceless, the young man gave each of them a beating and went his way.

lol

Serial killer Jeffery Damner a Mormon is in heaven
but Carl Sagan a Scientist and Philosophizer and Spiritualist is in Hell

Jesus committed suicide? That's a pretty twisted view but Christian bashers like you don't surprise me. I guess by your strandard then all the men and women that died for the freedom of this country committed suicide because they laid down their lives for us to enjoy the freedom of speech that even an idiot like you can enjoy.

If you want to sh!t on the Word of God, you are free to do so, but don't expect the rest of us to think you're all that interesting. You're nothing but the latest in a long line of juvenile Bible bashers who think you can get a rise out of the public by pretending to hate God because your dog died.

Disco, I don't know how u were able to change ur original post which basically said that Jesus committed suicide so we as Christians should emulate him and do the same. I was defending the fact that Christ did not commit suicide he died for our sins but you r twisting the sacrifice he made for us in a obscene way. I'm not going to play ur game though. So long.

I didn't change my original post.

Our bodies are a holy temple of God, so hurting them is a sin. So is suicide.

people fear death.

Good grief I don't know whats dumber this question or the ridiculous answers. This is way to complex a question to answer here but basically as a Christian this life is not about ME. I know what the Lord has waiting for me. But I have a purpose in this life until Jesus calls me home. I don't know how much time I have but my purpose is to honor Him. To spread the Gospel and bring others to His throne so they can know the joy of Heaven. To kill myself just so I could get past the suffering we all do in this world would just be the ultimate in selfishness. One that did that would not probably be a true Christian. And for all that believe Suicide is the unforgivable sin that is not really true. The only unforgivable sin is refusing to accept Christ as your Saviour, all other sin is forgivable. For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Thank you Jesus for picking me up dusting me off and cleansing me daily. Without you I would be a lost sinner.

Thank you, I really appreciated your post. there is so much finger pointing going on these days. I am an old Cherokee, very spiritual, and my best friend is the great spirit. I really enjoy my walk. good to meet you here

because they still aren't sure if they are buying their own crap

In most Christian religions, suicide is the only unforgivable sin, especially for Catholics.

Good grief - run out of question ideas??

Its against the rules

Does not stop christians from breaking all of them.

yeah but if they commit suicide they wouldn't be able to ask forgiveness for breaking that rule.

Suicide is a sin.

It's a sin. God gave life, so who are we to take it? Even from ourself?

It's against the rules.

Does not stop christians from breaking all of them.

You first. I'll be happy to help you, if you need it.

They're stupid.....

That makes about as much sense as asking"if you like carrots and they're good for you,why not choke to death on carrots?

Profanity Filter seems to disagree with you.

Okay.... And?

Because the bible says they can't. And e all know the bible is super true.
