Will Suicide Automatically ........ The Soul?
Put more simply... Is it possible, for a saved person's brain to become so sick from brain cancer, chemical imbalance, stroke, etc. that they wind up going over the edge and committing suicide... Is it possible for that to take place and that person STILL go to heaven or does suicide under any circumstances AUTOMATICALLY send a soul to hell? Please explain your answers...

Hey Rico... Good to see you. I noticed that you were away for a while, so was I. Good to see you back here. I doubt people feel the same about me. lol...
Anyway, I'm not looking for any loopholes, just the input of others. What's yours?

My input? My input is the same I would give for pretty much most of these what if kind of questions. I stand by what the Word of God says, but leave the possibility open for exceptions based on circumstances and God's judgement.

Re: Will Suicide Automatically ........ The Soul?
I think that God is the only one that can answer this question. Thankfully He is merciful

Re: Will Suicide Automatically ........ The Soul?
Well, lets use a Samson as an example, since I've always been curious about this one:
a) Did Samson commit suicide?
b) Does it appear that Samson died "saved", or "unsaved"? (Judges 16:28-30)
28 Then Samson prayed to the LORD, "O Sovereign LORD, remember me. O God, please strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes."
29 Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other,
30 Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.

I've been taught suicide is impossible to repent of.. so therfore your lost. God is the judge. I choose to believe that if someone is truly mentally ill, the Lord of course will judge with righteous judgement.

He is in the "hall of fame of faith" ( Heb. 11). To me he could not be an example of faith--if he lost it.
