what do you think...if you believe in heaven and you are "saved" and you commit suicide do you think you would go to heaven or would you be sent to hell.

Do you think we will ever be saved?
In this land of dreams find myself sober...
Wonder when will it'll all be over...
Living in a void when the void grows colder...
Wonder when it'll all be over?
Will you be laughing when it's over?
Says me and my religion.
My belief, and the Catholic-Christian religion have all their minds to back it up. I'm not trying to make anyone believe that, I'm just stating MY own religious beliefs, just like everyone else is with their "God Is Not Real" crap.
yeah well the Nazis thought their belifs to be right too? And they backed it up too, but what does that prove besides that they agreed on their doctrine and so it is with catholics and their doctrine
Like I said before, our beliefs!
Yes but Nazi's are stupid. They judge someone by their religion, which I am not doing (I'm just giving out my opinion to everyone else, as they are to me), all of my friends at school are Athiests but that does not change anything between us. People have their beliefs, I have my own.
yeah but you aint representative for how the catholic church are and have been, and like the nazi`s catholichs judge people by denominations and religions
The beauty of religion is that it does not require the people who believe in it to give "proof". They get to believe in it because...They want to.
I'm not religious at all. But in Canada (and the US) people have a right to believe what they want. And I respect that.
If someone believes that killing yourself = Hell because thats what they believe. Then thats that. They don't have to prove anything. Its a moral choice that they feel is correct.
In Christian religions, we do believe that heaven and hell exist.
We also believe in two types of sins: venial and mortal. A venial sin is something everyday, lying to your parents, perhaps. You can go to heaven, through purgaroty, if you have venial sins on your soul.
A mortal sin, however, is a more serious sin. Three things must be present for a sin to be considered mortal: 1) It must be a serious matter, 2) You must know that what you're doing is wrong, 3) and You must have full consent to committing the act.
1) Suicide is murder, a very serious matter.
2) By asking on a forum, you obviously know that it's wrong.
3) Once more, by asking about it on a forum, you're showing that you're not being forced into the act, so you have full consent.
Mortal sins are forvigable if one is truly sorry for them, but when you committ suicide you don't have a chance to repent. With an unforgiven mortal sin marking your soul and tearing you away from God, you cannot go to heaven.
That's years of Catholic school talking. If, stop sign, you're Catholic or Christian, there's your answer as the Church has it.
Though sin categories are not mentioned in the bible neither is purgatory. According to scripture sin is just sin. Though there was some influence throughout history with writings such as Dante and famous pictures of the levels of hell.
