Something like two-thirds of gun deaths in the US are suicides. The gun-grabbers conveniently omit this fact when complaining about gun deaths.

What I'm interested in discussing here is what happens to the soul (assuming there is one) after one commits suicide?

The Roman Catholic Church says that suicide is a mortal sin. If you die with an unforgiven mortal sin on your soul, you go to Hades. For eternity. (In contrast, what Catholics call a venial sin is a lesser sin, a misdemeanor, which can lead to punishment, but not for eternity.)

But my mom told me God doesn't consider what a person does while not in their right mind to be a sin. So if you kill yourself while suffering from mania, severe depression, schizophrenia, or the like, you won't be judged and punished by God. A form of a divine legal insanity defense. But what if you die believing you are Jesus? If you think you are Him, you couldn't have accepted Jesus. The head spins.

The Catholics' God also would let you off the hook if you repent and believe in Jesus before you die. (When I say "believe in Jesus" I mean "accept Jesus as my Savior.") So for instance, if you took poison but repented before it acted to kill you, God would not hold the suicide against you.

I don't know what Protestants and others think happens to a suicide. I'm interested in finding out.

I don't understand why you keep doing this.

If you are saved you go to Heaven...if not the other place. So simple even a lawyer could understand it.

Go talk to your priest, James.He will take the time to assuage your fears.
If you kill yourself you will probably end up in the everlasting fires of (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman).

Now, now let's not feed the troll.

You're saying we can't have an intelligent discussion around here anymore?

I thought you could do better, Mark.

"What happens to suicides after death"....
This year it's documentmented as a covid death, so you're all good. Nothing to worry about.

The smartest biblical mind I know Ravi Zacharias said he wouldn’t want to meet his maker after doing it. He said a lot more on it than that, but that kinda sums it up. Look it up on YouTube. Or maybe someone that knows how will post it.

I dont Either...

There are people on here that Try, and care...explain to you their beliefs ; hopefully to help you experience Faith

But whats the real angle. To understand analytically , mock or?

I could.

I think there's actually a best selling book that will have the answers in it. Maybe try reading it.

Jimmy stirring it up again.......

Prove it.

It's pretty hard to have a intelligent conversation with someone like yourself who chooses not to utilize their itelligence

Okay. I won't attempt to engage in intelligent discussions anymore, Mark. I've learned my lesson: you only talk about your own subjects.

Jim

You could Mark

But Without the Holy Spirits conviction...it most likely would fall on worse than def ears

You guys are scared to debate James.You know he can make y'all look foolish-yous have learned well.
