I have a question for you because I want to convert
So, Is going to the gym a sin?
@@FranciscoPereira-cn6jmMay I answer that question for you? Click in read more
Going to the gym for working out is not a sin. It becomes a sin when you go to find a identity, when you give your life to that. Our bodies is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so it's nice that we take care of it.
I hope my answer helps you
Jesus is King! 👑🩵💕🦋💕🩵
Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Repent and believe in him as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved! God bless! 🩵💕🦋💕🩵
💕🌸🌺Romans 10:9-11 KJV 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 🌺🌸💕❤
I agree with Dr.Michael, my sister, committed suicide after a horrific break down when her daughter was born. She was a loving and kind person, but during her break down, she feared she would hurt her baby daughter so her suicide was not selfish act at all. It was a sacrifice to save her daughter.
The timing of this video is actually crazy I literally have a paper that I have to do on this exact topic for my class
Suicidal thoughts ruled my life. Fear of Damnation prevented me from doing it. I keep praying to Christ for strength. I'm slowly healing. I'm so Greatful to Jesus for even those little steps I've taken to redemption.
God Our Heavenly Father will bless and keep you He will guide you throughout your life journey keep praying Jesus shed His blood for us sinners He carried our sins on the cross and paid with His blood 🙏🙏
Wise man 🙏
The same thing kept me from doing it also in those vulnerable teen age years.
Dude, me too! I think about it all the time! Life gets tough, man, and we lose strength. I personally don't deal with suffering well.Jesus has not abandoned me though. I ain't dead yet!😁
@@amisklake5711I heard that. The same thing keeps me from it now.
My cousin committed suicide in June, very heartbreaking he was just 25. I pray he had a relationship with Christ 💔
Sorry for your loss, but we must be very careful what we allow our ears to hear and what we believe is truth.
This is indeed a very sensitive topic but that's why we must go by what God's Scriptures say.
Majority of folks believe that we no longer have to follow The Ten Commandments but God Never told us that the Ten Commandments were no longer necessary.. and Jesus even tells us the complete opposite.
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to Fulfill them."
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, what is the Greatest Commandment in the law of Moses?”
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love The Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38 This is the First and Greatest Commandment.
39 The second is like it: ‘Love others as yourself.’
40 The Entire law and all the demands of the prophets are Based on these two Commandments.”
See that?
It says The Entire Law is Based on these Two Commandments.
And Jesus said these Commandments Still Stand.. They are Not Abolished and that includes the 6th Commandment : thou shall Not kill.
So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
Jesus also said to Love yourself..
So how are those who commit suicide, showing God they love Him and loved themselves?
To Love God is to put Him First which is The Greatest Commandment..
To love God First and Put Him First means to Obey Him, Fear Him, Respect Him.. Love God First before ourselves.
God comes first Always! Do not disregard God's word, for it says in
Proverbs 15:32 “Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.”
ah man. I'm sorry, hope your family is doing ok.
I have no doubt whatsoever that he is resting in peace 🙂🇬🇧
I'm sorry to hear that... I wish he didn't take his own life. This is tragic...
Welp, hes in hell now man, 💯 sorry bro
God is all loving and he knows when we are suffering,He has compassion for those who have suicidal thoughts .
God feels our pain
God is a God of Compassion, yes, but God is also a just God and He does Not want us to take our own lives.. after all, His 6th Commandment is Thou shall Not kill and Jesus said that He did Not come to abolish The Law but to Fullfill it..
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to Fulfill them."
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, what is the Greatest Commandment in the law of Moses?”
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love The Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38 This is the First and Greatest Commandment.
39 The second is like it: ‘Love others as yourself.’
40 The Entire law and all the demands of the prophets are Based on these two Commandments.”
See, It says The Entire Law is Based on these Two Commandments.
And Jesus said these Commandments Still Stand.. They are Not Abolished and that includes the 6th Commandment : thou shall Not kill.
So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form? Killing is killing, even if that is by taking your own life.
Amen 🥺
And dose nothing to stop the suicide or pain
@@whaleshark9590 suicide is someone’s personals choice and the pain he allows it to bless you afterwards
@@jorgequirarte580 bless with what?
I attempted last year and let me tell you, i was deeply troubled by the enemy, I had no peace what so ever, I would spend hours watching near death experience videos so much that I got excited because I believed my experience would be like those in the videos. I still struggle today but I know with how everything played out and how I was stopped , that God saved me from a very big mistake
Praise God! We need the believers to stand in the evil days ahead. He didn't place a bunch of lemmings here at the end of the age! Let's make that old serpent squirm!
@Believeandknow-or7bs :
Yes and be kind to others and even to those who don't agree with you..
God is a God of Love.. Jesus taught that we are to be peaceful and love one another..
God's word says 2 Timothy 2:14
"Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them."
I'm so glad you are still HERE ✝️
He has plans
Some of us have it hard
Praise God for sparing you!
My brother was mentally ill with paranoid schizophrenia. He took his life at 27 years old. It was so heartbreaking. Only God knows how he handles cases like this.
Your brother is loved by God and surrounded by his light.
Exactly!
Sorry for your loss 🙏♥️
That's all demons. I'm so sorry
@mrsobermind :
That's why it's so important that we read The Bible in All its Entirety with an Understanding from The Lord so we won't be easily misled.
One of the Ten Commandments is thou shall Not kill.
So, if this is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
Are we suppose to think that there weren't people who had thoughts of suicide during the Time God had Moses write the Ten Commandments?
Of course Not.
Look at The Book of Job.. Job lost everything. He lost his servants, his land, his house, all his money, he lost all of his livestock.. he even lost his sons and daughters.. they all died in a fire.
Everything.. All gone.. he had Nothing.
His health was declining and he fell into a deep depression and it says in Job 3:21 "Job longed for death" ..
That scripture tells us right there that Job was having thoughts of suicide but deep down inside, he Knew Not to go against God and break His Commandment. Why? Because He Knew that Killing others or yourself is a One Way Ticket to hell.
But Gods Love Conquers All.
Who are we to make that decision to take life, even if it's our own?
Did we create ourselves that we can take our own self out of this world?
No, of course Not. Only God can.
And it says in Job 1:21 right after Job received the terrible news about his children, that he fell to the ground in worship and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.
The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away; may the name of The Lord be praised.”
See that, Job said "The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away" .. Job Never once said "The Lord gives but He has granted us permission to take away"..
No, Job didn't say that.
But now let's take a look at that last line, Job said "may the name of The Lord be praised"..
He said that out of Fear and Reverence for God. He feared The Lord so that is why he Praised God immediately after having negative thoughts.
We are to fear God.. so how are we showing fear of our Lord if we take our own lives?
When you take your own life, it only shows that you didn't put All your trust in Jesus.
But Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30 "Cast your Heavy Burdens on Me and I will Give you Rest. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Jesus said this because He knows the problems of the world can be overwhelming and can cause fear, doubt, stress, anxiety and cause us to lose hope which can lead to suicide but Jesus Never said "you will have troubles in this world that will cause you to doubt Me and you might even take your own life, and I understand.. so I say to you, take your own life if you must"..
No, He Never said that. But what He did say is..
John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
We are to Keep our Eyes on Jesus!!
These scriptures make it very clear that we are Not to take our own lives.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to God, and He will make your paths straight."
It says Submit to Him.. so how are we submitting to Him if we take our own lives.
Hosea 4:6 "My people perish for Lack of Knowledge."
Gods Love Conquers All.
I will gladly keep going if anyone needs me to.
I've been a born again believer for 35 years & that whole time up until 2020 when the Lord delivered me hallelujah, it's the spirit of death that I couldn't shake, it wasn't constant but thinking back it was with me since childhood, but Jesus can free anyone, you don't have to stay in that condition ❤️🙏🏼📖✝️🗡️
Praise God for your deliverance! God set me free from that same spirit in 2022.
Right suicide is a demonic spirit on you.
@karenworley241 AMEN!! PRAISE THE LORD JESUS!!!
Amen! God delivered me, too! Now let's tell all the others! We have to proclaim freedom to the captives! He heals the broken hearted!
My best friend was a veteran, he was a believer. He took His life in 2013. I’ve held onto the fact that only the Lord knew his heart and also his deep struggles. Only he can judge. I very recently came across a FB memory where my friend had written about Christ being his savior. God is always good. I hope to see him in heaven! Thank you for this beautiful message.

@@LM-ol4wc yep, you are just a copy paste. How typical of lazy minded judges. Thank goodness you are not the one who holds the keys.
@Believeandknow-or7bs :
you call me lazy when you're the one who just won't simply Read The Bible Daily when it's what God wants us to do, as it is beneficial to us.
2 Timothy 3:16
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."
Why are you on here belittling folks?
This is what Scripture has to say about that..
Proverbs 21:23-25
23 Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.
24 Mockers are proud and haughty; they act with boundless arrogance.
25 Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin, for their hands refuse to work.
Read the Bible.
God didn't give us The Bible so that it could just sit there on the shelf, collecting dust.. put it to use!.. start reading it!
@@LM-ol4wcThere is only one unpardonable sin and that is refusal of salvation in Jesus Christ. Be careful how you are sharing scripture. It must include all of God’s heart and rules, not just some to make a point. I know you mean well, but don’t cause damnation to others through limited examples of God’s heart and instructions.
@vickycash1643 : It's so easy for someone to be in agreement with something that might seem harmless but in reality, Gods word says otherwise.
I gave plenty of scripture that give us an Understanding that we are Not to take our own lives.. and here are a few more.
In my individual case, I was super close to offing myself once when I was in high school. And when I was super close to doing it, I heard an audible voice daring me to “do it!” three times. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was Satan himself but I digress. After being dared to do it, I got a glimpse of where I was going and what it would be like if I went through with this. Got a glimpse of hell, and that abuse and my suffering would never end for all eternity. So I put the knife away and prayed to God for a way out of the child abuse I went through.
Satan entered Judas and he hanged himself.
I'm glad you didn't go through with it; I'm glad you are still here with us living for Jesus.
🙌
So sorry what you’ve been through in childhood. I really hope they get what they deserve.
God is in charge of all the Universe. The Bible teaches there will be hell fire at the end where all evil angels and sinners will be destroyed for eternity. Not tortured forever and ever but destroyed forever. God will not allow Satan and sinners to live on and on. God will clean up this Universe after evil is burned up. Please don’t fall for pagan satanic teachings as if God will allow satan to live on and torture people for eternity. Hint: The Bible says Sodom and Gomorrah will burn forever. It means burned up with eternal results. Not that it’s burning forever. If there is eternal hell there will never be peace and purity in the Universe. It comes from satanic paganism. Not God or the Bible.
My friend, your instincts are from Holy Spirit. It is a demon that tempts people to strike themselves down. God loves and protects you, and opened your senses to reveal the wicked thing calling you to destroy yourself. Let your eyes and others be open to the devil's insidious tactics!
A church member took his life today. Praying for his 4 children and those close to him.
“Once saved, always saved” is a lie straight from the pits of hell.
If that's the case then nobody can be saved
I taught my suicidal child that his life was not his own to take if he gave it to God, and that it is God’s call when we die. I also told him it is self murder, and that every day he chooses to live and fight, God is pleased that he is obeying Him. I tell him that I admire him for living for God, even though it is hard. He is still staying alive to honor God.
I am so sorry for those of you who struggle with despair! I have myself, but my life is not my own. Love from a mom and Grandma.
I think you’re right but in spite of that I struggle with physical and mental issues and I’m older now running out of money. Made a lot of mistakes. I’m just suicidally depressed. I’m planning a Final Exit right now for this year.
@@weaverdreams dear girl, I will pray for you !
Yes, our bodies are NOT our own but at the same time, remember that salvation is by FAITH ONLY and NOT works.
We are NOT saved by keeping the 10 commandments including "thou shalt not kill". If so, Jesus died for nothing.
Only JESUS lived perfectly and kept all the commandments. If we had to keep the commandments to get saved, then Jesus did NOTHING.
Why would Jesus go through all that ONLY FOR US to have to do it again?
@@palmtreesmusic1945 yes, but true faith yields good works! If the Holy Spirit comes to live in you, HE produces good fruit. Christ in you, the hope of glory!
@@---wu3qj I agree that faith SHOULD produce good works, although 1st Corinthians 3:11-15 is clear that there ARE unfruitful believers who did little for God.
I also agree that as a NEW CREATURE (2nd Corinthians 5:17), a believer SHOULD behave differently and we SHOULD expect believers to act differently than unbelievers.
At the same time, the subject of this video is whether Christians who commit suicide go to Heaven. The Biblical answer is DOGMATICALLY YES because salvation is by faith alone and not works.
To say that believers who commit suicide go to Hell (or that you can lose salvation) is to preach works salvation because you would have to keep the commandment "thou shalt not kill" to get saved, which is WORKS.
FAITH ALONE = Once Saved Always Saved
Because Biblical Christianity teaches faith alone salvation, salvation BY DEFINITION cannot be lost because Christianity teaches believe on Christ and be saved from Hell (Acts 16:30-31).
Religion always adds OTHER STUFF and they always say, "No! Believing on Christ isn't enough!" They always add other stuff.
We all fall short as the Bible tells us. Salvation is only through Jesus Christ. It’s His final Judgment in every situation.
Facts!
Yes, we all fall short but that's why God gave us Authority to Stand Firm in Times of trouble.
God has given us Authority to rebuke the enemy when he tests and tempts us just as it says in Job 2:2.
We need to start using that Authority.
All those miracles Jesus and His Disciples performed didn't just stop.. People Still perform these Miracles in The Mighty Name of Jesus till this very day!
I've witnessed the Mighty Hand of God cast out unclean spirits of what the world calls "Mental illness" but that's the worldly term but these are actually Unclean spirits.
Yes, that's Exactly what it is:
Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, thoughts of suicide, PTSD, Tourettes, Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Multiple personality disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder.. and even such things as Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, P3dofilia, R4pists, Child M0lestation, Murd3rers H0mosexuality, even Narcissism.. and the list goes on!
These are All Unclean spirits.. the Very Same unclean spirits that Jesus and All the Disciples, Apostles and Prophets Cast out when Jesus walked this earth.
This isn't something that started in the 1900's.. No, Unclean spirits have been among us since the beginning of Time.
And that's why we are to keep our eyes Fixed on Jesus.
Matthew 11:28-29 Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
And in Hebrews 12 tells us Not to give up on life..
Hebrews 12:2-4 "Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, The Champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame.
Now, He is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
3 Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.
4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.
See that? Look at that last line.. it says "you have Not given your lives in your struggle against sin."
The 6th Commandment is thou shall Not kill.. So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
I pray The Lord will open up our eyes so that you will Understand His Truth.
Let the Holy Spirit Guide us into All Truth.. John 16:13.
True, and only through Christ we are saved.
And as for His final judgement, believers are SPARED from judgement already (Romans 8:1). We are NO LONGER condemned and NO, we DO NOT have to face judgement (eternal hell) for our sins but only loss of rewards (1st Corinthians 3:11-15).
Salvation is NOT a reward for keeping the commandments and if suicide results in salvation loss, that is NOT faith alone salvation but works salvation as keeping the commandment "thou shalt not kill" would be needed to get to Heaven.
Heaven is NOT a prize rewarded at the end for those who lived well.
Heaven is GUARANTEED the moment you believe and receive Christ.
Read Ephesians 2:1-9 and see that Christ already seated us in HEAVENLY PLACES. God uses the PAST TENSE to describe a FUTURE EVENT because we are guaranteed Heaven the moment we are SAVED by FAITH ALONE and NOT WORKS (Ephesians 2:8-9). If we have to keep commandments to get saved, we could boast and brag about about salvation as OUR achievement.
There is NO eternal judgement or Hellfire on saved people. We are GOD'S CHILDREN. God disciplines His SONS (Hebrews 12:5-11) but He does not condemn them.
Unbelievers are NOT His children (Ephesians 2:1-4) but rather children of wrath and disobedience.
In the last 12 years I have suffered from not only 1 but 2 traumatic brain injuries. Everybody that ever told me they love me walked out on me. I have no friends they have given me Uber 600 pages of different pills/opiates. I have had thoughts of suicide. My fear of God is why I'm still breathing.
Let the Love of God take over you and fill you up and he will set you free in Jesus name
If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.
- 1 Corinthians 3:17
Jesus said these words!
Keep your fear of the Lord, because it is what you need! This video is giving permission to destroy what God said is holy, because they erroneously think they are bringing comfort to those who have lost loved ones to this horrible act of self hate. I have struggled with the same issue, so I'm not just talking here! Trust Jesus over everyone else! Trust the words of Jesus to be TRUTH!
@@elainewat2607 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 says, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”
This verse has sometimes been used to say that those who commit suicide will be destroyed by God, i.e. receive eternal judgment and not salvation. The problem with using this verse in this way, is that this verse is not talking about suicide.
While 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 argues for individual holiness on the basis of the fact that, as believers in whom God’s Spirit dwells, we are the temple of the living God, in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Paul is talking about the church corporately as the temple of God. This is similar to what Peter says in 1 Peter 2:5, where he says, “you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” The picture Peter paints is that we are each individual stones who come together to form the temple of God; God, thus, makes his habitation in the midst of the congregation, not in special buildings built by human hands (cf. Acts 7:48, 17:24)
The problem we have in modern English is that we use the same word, “you”, for both the second person singular and the second person plural (y’all or you guys - depending on where you’re from), so a simple reading in our modern vernacular doesn’t tell us if a verse is directed towards us as individuals or to a collective group. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 uses you in the second person plural, meaning that Paul is speaking of those who destroy God’s temple as those who destroy the Body of Christ, the Church. This is also clear from the context of 1 Corinthians 3, where Paul is talking about the importance of unity in the Body of Christ.
Thus, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 is a warning about how seriously God takes attacks against the Church, not a warning aimed at those who are considering suicide.
@elainewat2607 I agreed with you this video gives people the license to go and kill them selfs.This is from the devil.
We're happy you're still here.
I believe that if we are truly born again, the Holy Spirit that dwells within inside of us will save us from our own selves, and keep us in sobriety

That scripture tells us right there that Job was having thoughts of suicide but deep down inside, he Knew Not to go against God and break His Commandment. Why? Because He Knew that Killing others or yourself is a One Way Ticket to hell.
But Gods Love Conquers All.
Who are we to make that decision to take life, even if it's our own?
Did we create ourselves that we can take our own self out of this world?
No, of course Not. Only God can.
And it says in Job 1:21 right after Job received the terrible news about his children, that he fell to the ground in worship and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.
The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away; may the name of The Lord be praised.”
See that, Job said "The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away" .. Job Never once said "The Lord gives but He has granted us permission to take away"..
No, Job didn't say that.
But now let's take a look at that last line, Job said "may the name of The Lord be praised"..
He said that out of Fear and Reverence for God. He feared The Lord so that is why he Praised God immediately after having negative thoughts.
We are to fear God.. so how are we showing fear of our Lord if we take our own lives?
When you take your own life, it only shows that you didn't put All your trust in Jesus.
But Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30 "Cast your Heavy Burdens on Me and I will Give you Rest. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Jesus said this because He knows the problems of the world can be overwhelming and can cause fear, doubt, stress, anxiety and cause us to lose hope which can lead to suicide but Jesus Never said "you will have troubles in this world that will cause you to doubt Me and you might even take your own life, and I understand.. so I say to you, take your own life if you must"..
No, He Never said that. But what He did say is..
John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
We are to Keep our Eyes on Jesus!!
These scriptures make it very clear that we are Not to take our own lives.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to God, and He will make your paths straight."
It says Submit to Him.. so how are we submitting to Him if we take our own lives.
Hosea 4:6 "My people perish for Lack of Knowledge."
Gods Love Conquers All.
I will gladly keep going if anyone needs me to.
@@AntiDecepticonCampaignFor Christians, yes it does. You either trust that God can do anything, or you don't.
@@LM-ol4wc don't copy paste this again. It isn't very relevant to anyone. This is the 4th reply you copied. Why don't you read the Bible in it's entirety like you said so you can respond with something unique each time?
@Believeandknow-or7bs :
You're telling me to read the Bible in All its Entirety? ...
how do you think I was able to list all those scriptures in my comment?
Plus I said I can keep going if anyone needs me too.
Does it bother you that I come with scripture?
Who are you to tell others what they can and can not post?
We are all adults here.. Start acting like it, instead of acting like little children and arguing about what toy they can and cannot play with.
Does Gods word Not say to Correct others in love?
Is it that hard for you to see through all your anger that I was simply correcting with love?
I pray The Lord will remove the scales from your eyes and unharden that heart of yours.
False
In Psalm 19:13 king David talks about presumptuous sin, and he asks THE LORD to keep him from these sins so they wouldn't have dominion over him. I felt like this verse was speaking to me as I read it. Salvation is not a free pass to go back into sin, we must avoid sin and seek and surrender to THE LORD so we can take the next step in our walk with THE LORD!
Jesus, hear my prayers these past three years have been difficult on me I am weak. Give me guidance. Please come back soon I don’t know how much longer I can hold on. As a single parent things are hard on me both of my sons are autistic and my hours to work are limited because I’m now homeschooling them. I’m constantly struggling to provide the basic necessities for them I’m so ashamed. I suffered an heart attack and I’m battling lupus I’m overwhelmed. Lord heal me. Father God hear my prayers. I constantly struggle to pay my bills and struggle to provide groceries. BUT I KEEP FAITH. Even though I want to give up. Jesus please take the fear from my heart. Father God it is you that gives me the strength to keep going. I praise you Father even as I fear homelessness please continue to give me strength.
@TiffMiller1234 You dont need to be ashamed or afraid, cast your burdens upon Jesus and let him deal with your burdens and fears, God can provide for you and your family.
I struggle with this myself, so there is no shame here.
Two suicides in the Bible: Saul in the Old Testament, and Judas Iscariot.
@@paulpierce7387 Saul had turned his back on God . Sought a fortune teller or witch. Judas was just doing what the scriptures told about Him in Old Testament. About who would tuen on Jesus because He never knew Him
You need deliverance to remove generational curses of free masonry and and the demons enforcing the curses. That is the curse behind autism usually. ✝️
@@paulpierce7387 why didn't you count king Saul's shieldbearer? Don't squires count? And wasn't Saul in an actual battle? You already said soldiers are somehow different.
We , as Christians seem so quick to make God into a judge of our actions and not the judge of our hearts. Thank you for this message.
@carolinekinney2364
Amen...every way of a man is righteous (judging right and wrong) in his own hearts BUT the LORD PONDERS THE HEARTS. Proverbs 21:2
Christians make god into whatever they want, usually someone who agrees with them.
What’s in our hearts will come out through our actions, morals and character (John 14:15). When you really sell out to Christ you want to please the Lord, not make excuses for sinning. When I have fallen short and sinned even in the slightest, I repent and ask the Lord for forgive me and deliver me so I never do it again. There have been times where I’ve had to work to overcome some sins but I didn’t give up and I was delivered. I don’t make excuses for myself, saying I’m human and I’m going to sin. In John 8:11, Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, sin no more. He didn’t tell her try not to sin but I understand if you can’t stop. I thank God for his grace and mercy that when I have sinned, the Lord showed me mercy and didn’t let me die in my sins. I’ve been saved most of my life, but I don’t play with God’s grace and say I’m going to heaven anyway, I’m human I can’t help myself. I have the Holy Ghost power and it helps me supernaturally live a life for Christ that is impossible for me to do without the Lord. I’ve provided a few scriptures because if what I’m saying doesn’t line up with the word of God, it’s worthless. Acts 1:8; Revelation 21:8; Hebrews 10:26; Galatians 1:8-9; 1John3:5-10; Hebrews 12:1; Titus 2:11-12; Romans 6:12,14-23; Luke 9:23
We must be very careful what we allow our ears to hear and what we believe is truth.
This is indeed a very sensitive topic, but that's why we must go by what God's Word says.
Majority of folks believe that we no longer have to follow The Ten Commandments but God Never told us that the Ten Commandments were no longer necessary.. and Jesus even tells us the complete opposite.
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to Fulfill them."
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, what is the Greatest Commandment in the law of Moses?”
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love The Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38 This is the First and Greatest Commandment.
39 The second is like it: ‘Love others as yourself.’
40 The Entire law and all the demands of the prophets are Based on these two Commandments.”
See that?
It says The Entire Law is Based on these Two Commandments.
And Jesus said these Commandments Still Stand.. They are Not Abolished and that includes the 6th Commandment : thou shall Not kill.
So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
Jesus also said to Love yourself..
So how are those who commit suicide, showing God they love Him and loved themselves?
To Love God is to put Him First which is The Greatest Commandment..
To love God First and Put Him First means to Obey Him, Fear Him, Respect Him.. Love God First before ourselves.
God comes first Always! Do not disregard God's word, for it says in
Proverbs 15:32 “Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.”
All those miracles Jesus and His Disciples performed didn't just stop.. People Still perform these Miracles in The Mighty Name of Jesus till this very day!
I've witnessed the Mighty Hand of God cast out unclean spirits of what the world calls "Mental illness" but that's the worldly term but these are actually Unclean spirits.
Yes, that's Exactly what it is:
Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, thoughts of suicide, PTSD, Tourettes, Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Multiple personality disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder.. and even such things as Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, P3dofilia, R4pists, Child M0lestation, Murd3rers H0mosexuality, even Narcissism.. and the list goes on!
These are All Unclean spirits.. the Very Same unclean spirits that Jesus and All the Disciples, Apostles and Prophets Cast out when Jesus walked this earth.
This isn't something that started in the 1900's.. No, Unclean spirits have been among us since the beginning of Time.
And that's why we are to keep our eyes Fixed on Jesus.
Matthew 11:28-29 Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
And in Hebrews 12 tells us Not to give up on life..
Hebrews 12:2-4 "Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, The Champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame.
Now, He is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
3 Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.
4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.
See that? Look at that last line.. it says "you have Not given your lives in your struggle against sin."
The 6th Commandment is thou shall Not kill.. So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
I pray The Lord will open up your eyes so that you will See. I pray that He will Give you Understanding.
Let the Holy Spirit Guide you into All Truth.. John 16:13.
The belief that suicide will take me to hell stopped me. I couldn't suffer in this life and the next...
God bless you and i love you, i hope you are okay and will always be okay. Im here for you, i will make time for you. I have school so i may not respond in time. Thank you for you.Jesus is there for you also and i love you.
I am Glad you didn't do it!
Dr. Michael Brown is Absolutely Wrong.
Jesus Said: That even if you had One (1) UNFORGIVENESS toward a Person, and you die, That UNFORGIVING Person Goes To Hell.
@TinaKai25 : Amen!! Glory to God!!
Unfortunately, those who committed suicides went to hell. I’m not trying to judge but I almost did it about 17 years ago. I got depressed, embarrassed and overwhelmed due to my situations at the time. No one knew about the plan that I carefully planned about a week. I got my noose ready and a letter for my mother and family who lived overseas. Just ten minutes before I was about to do it, a prayer warrior called me. I didn’t tell her anything and was silent most of the time. Then she asked me if I were planning to commit suicide. I was shocked since that person lived in a different state and I hadn’t talked to her for months. I asked her back of how she knew about my plan. She said: “the Lord urged me to call you tonight to stop your plan. Did you know where would you go if you committed suicide?” I said no and didn’t care coz I was just tired with all this mess. Then she said “you would end up being in hell! Even though you didn’t kill anyone else, but if you killed yourself, the consequence is second death which means in hell. Is that what you want?” I said no (I didn’t know at the time). She went on, “God has beautiful plans for you, you have to let things go and ask for God’s forgiveness for your wicked plan. He loves you and doesn’t want you to perish. He’s very sad that you wanted to commit suicide”. So I did what she asked me to do. The next day the Lord said to me: “ I am the Lord. I am the creator of the universe and everything in it. Everything is in my hands. I feed the birds in the sky, I take care the flowers in the field. Even more you my daughter, you are the apple of my eye. Why don’t you trust me?”. In the next two weeks after I repented, I received miracles upon miracles that I was a bit overwhelmed by His goodness! So be careful about planning on committing suicides. It is a sin! We are His image and He loves us very much. Don’t get into satan’s snares. So I don’t agree with Dr. Brown. I got my question answered when someone stopped my plan. She was asked to remind me the consequences of committing suicide. God’s logic is not our logic and our logics are not His. He is a merciful God but sin is sin and the consequence of sin is death.
But you had not yet been saved back then, so it might not apply to those who've really trusted and then fallen away. I don't know if it's possible to commit suicide after trusting on Jesus, because I've never done that, but I do believe that sin is sin.and Christ died for our sins, not some sins, but all. And he who is guilty of ONE sin is guilty of ALL. I don't think it makes sense that you'd even get saved by believing that he died for some of your sins instead of all.
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
@@mkovis8587I did, I was a believer but I didn’t have the understanding that suicide would definitely send people to hell. I was like this doctor but my friend said that wasn’t true. My friend wasn’t a close friend at the time and in fact I didn’t want to tell anything because God would unveil her things about my life I didn’t know. As I said, she was urged to call me to stop the plan. She told that Jesus was very sad when I had that plan. No single soul knew about my plan not even my husband who was in a hospital that night. I made sure I was as happy as I could be. My thought was if I died, I didn’t have to worry again about my problems and Jesus would understand why I did it. But I was all wrong. My friend answered my questions even before I asked her. Then she asked me to repent for wanting to commit suicide as it grieved His heart. I was extremely blessed that the Lord “dispatched” my friend that night. She was only an acquaintance that I never met in person and was introduced to me over the phone by a friend of mine who was a pastor’s wife.
there are many people with nde's who went to heaven and met people there who have comitted suicide. I am sure God has compassion with people who went through unimagineable suffering and will NOT them to hell automatically
@@mkovis8587a person in christ would never take their own life its that simple question answered
@@kellyalexander7347 but sin is sin, and he who is guilty of one sin is guilty of all. Telling a "white lie" would make you as guilty as if you had taken your own life. Thus I don't think it's that simple to answer. Is it then useful to make a claim that they're definitely in hell ? That'd only bring unbearable pain to people who have lost loved ones to suicide.
I almost took my life because of the people bullying me most of my life and honestly I’m deeply scarred even though I survived I’m still trying to survive.
Father, I pray right now for this precious person whom you created. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that you will remove all the scars and show them exactly who you are and who they are. I pray for your warmth and love to wash over them right now. I pray for no more fear, and that any self-loathing will melt away at the mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Your light drives out the darkness, and you love this person so much, Father! Fill them with your Spirit. Amen!
I also encourage you to meditate on 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 10:14. Through Jesus we have received a perfect identity. No matter what anyone said to us, the truth about who we are in Christ doesn't change. I'm assuming you're a believer, but if not then you can have that identity simply by asking Jesus for it. He loves you infinitely and unconditionally!! :)
I'm glad you are still with us ❤ hang in there! Fight for your gift don't let anyone convince you anymore to give up your life.

If evil spirits are tempting you to commit suicide it's definitely not in your best interest to do so. That's dying in sin.

@@jameschupp2230 yes! Isn’t that scary that some people making light of the serious consequence of committing suicides? I almost did it a while ago. But thank God, a prayer warrior called me just 10 minutes before I planned to do it. She told me I would go straight to hell if I did it that night. I didn’t even tell anyone about my plan but she was dispatched by the Lord to rebuke me and asked me to repent from that wicked plan as it grieved Jesus. Btw you were absolutely correct about unforgiving person going to hell. My younger sister was shown hell about 7 years ago and was “tortured” in hell to torture the person she couldn’t forgive at the time. She was force to kill that person several time and even to skin off the person. She was traumatized by that experience and told me that what happened to those unforgiving people in hell.
@@jameschupp2230could you provide a biblical passage and version please?
Thx
The sixth commandment says thou shall not kill. You are to repent before death and if you kill yourself you can't
My thoughts if you commit suicide, it’s same as committing murder, taking a life and not only life but your own. Philippians 2:5 says to have mind of Christ. This is as much as I will say. No support in Bible that says you are saved after committing suicide.
My advice is: Dont commit suicide, these guys are not giving a clear awnser for they dont know either! There is a big chance that suicide is wrong, dont take the chance!
Why would the devil tempt you to commit suicide if it ended in heaven? I'm not the final judge I'm just saying the notable person in the Bible that committed suicide is Judas.
@@spiritualclipsbut Judas didn’t repent before he committed suicide. Sampson however did die in a way it may be considered suicide, but he had favor from G-d.
Saul died by the sword and didn’t repent either. He was chosen but he didn’t REPENT.
The Bible says god regretted making Saul king, which means he made a mistake, which means he is not perfect.@@SCPDOGE_
You are very right, I don't want to risk my life. GOD AND GOD ALONE CAN ANSWER THAT. NO ONE KNOWS THAT.LET US NOT SPEAK OUR WISHES.
Any answer they give is just their opinion.
I met this woman once. We were standing around waiting for our jury duty to start. She admited to me that this urge/voice tries to convince her to jump off any bridge she encounters. She was a very normal looking, middle aged woman. Its the devil whispering in our ears and we have stay alert and close to Jesus. Everyday is a battle
Nailed it. Yes, it is the devil who, like a roaring lion, seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus Christ can absolutely save us now and eternally if we will call upon the Lord. See Psalm 91 and Romans 10 for the Good News!
That is why I am convinced that evil spirits tempt suicide.
I have been fighting mjdd since I was a child, a long with suicidal ideation. But God set me free. I saw Jesus at the foot of my bed, praying for me. I love Him so much and encourage others to keep asking Him to pray for them.
That is so powerful to remember that He prays for us as well as fights our enemies for us!
@@Believeandknow-or7bs Jesus is our precious Shepherd. I pray that none of His children forget that. (Psalm 23) His Word needs to be memorized and spoken every day in order to become real and dependent for us.

My husband committed suicide, I cannot believe God would send him to hell, he was a good man, he loved Jesus.
No one is good. Remember when Jesus said to that man" why do you call me good?" Our best works are but filthy rags. Sorry about your loss.
God does not send anyone to hell, but our actions do send us ,, the parth we have chosen takes us there.
Trust that the Lord will do whatever he deems to be right for each person, and ask him to give us peace about it, and exercise your right to exit any conversation with people who automatically tell you that your loved one didn't make it to heaven. At this point, we don't know where he is and it isn't our buisness where he is.
Regardless of the way in which somebody dies, you can never 100% with total certainty know whether they died in right standing with the Lord. There are people who don't commit suicide, who harbor secret sins from which they refuse to repent (e.g. "I'll never forgive so and so for what they did to me") or they are married with a secret girlfriend/boyfriend somewhere, or when they're alone, they indulge in watching their secret stash of porn and you know nothing about this because when you see them, they appear to you to be a faithful Christina. . It's not for us to to wrack our minds wondering whether somebody ended up in heaven or hell after they die. Instead, it's for us to pray that the Lord will lead each of us and our loved ones so that we can all live in heaven with the Lord Jesus once we leave this earth.
God isn't going to tell us where each person will go after they die, so we have to trust that his definition of what is right is what will happen with that person. Then we must admit to ourselves that we do not always know what his definition of right is, as it applies to each individual person. You can have two people who do something to make themselves end up dead (e.g. go swimming alone and get caught in a rip current). Both voluntarily entered the water. Both probably knew you aren't supposed to swim alone. Both did something that caused their deaths. Did at least one cry out to God at the last minute to forgive them for bad judgement? We don't know. Did one of them secretly hope they'd get caught in a rip current and die? Some things are not for us to know, because we are not the one who makes the decision about where they will spend eternity.
I am sure he is in heaven. God has a good and compassionate heart unlike many "i know it all people" here

My mother killed herself almost 20 years ago. I was a teen. I left god at that point. I couldnt handle thinking she was in hell. It wasnt w comfort any longer. This has helped me on my path of discovery. Im coming from q very dark place as ive been a practicing satanist for a little while
Man. I’m so sorry. Your brief story really touched me.
If she was a Christian then she'll be in heaven
My argument is that anyone willing to take their own life is already living in a hell others can't understand! 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😬🙇🏻♂️❤️🩹😮💨🙃
I agree ….. but others don’t want to understand smh it gives them comfort believing the lie …….
This teaches people that you can kill yourself and God will forgive you and let you into heaven which is completely unbiblical…..but of course there are many whom has / had family and friends that has taken there on lives, so it’s difficult to accept they would be in hell, though God doesn’t send them there THEY SEND THEMSELVES THERE….but I digress.
Are we not justified by the blood of Jesus and our past present and future sins forgiven? This gives us no right to sin, but you if go to bed angry and die in your sleep, did you not die in sin? Did you have time to repent? If you fall asleep drunk and die, did you have time to repent? If suicide was the thing that sent people automatically to hell, don’t you think it would have been emphasized in the Bible? Just a few questions, sorry if this comes off aggressive, but if someone goes to hell for suicide, it means they were never saved to begin with. God bless!
No, they are not “living in a hell”. They are suffering, yes. They are heart broken, yes. They are perhaps crushed in spirit, yes. But, no, they are not in (a) “hell”. I hear what you are saying. Never trivialize Hell. It is a real, horrible, eternal place. And nothing in this life compares with it. 😮
@@paulpierce7387 I respectfully agree and disagree with what you're saying...
1. Yes I tried taking my own life when I was 16 and I'm not going into the gorry details that led me to believing that was my only way out of an extremely horrific situation...
2. I'm a retired Firefighter/EMT-Paramedic.
3. I'm a burn survivor who was given 3 days to live after being medevaced to a burn unit and level 1 trauma center with almost 90% 3rd° burns and respiratory burns...

🤷🏻♂️❤️🩹 If nothing else I'm a survivor through and through...
There's no easy answers about heaven or hell from a strictly human standpoint...
My point was that without actually experiencing hell itself. Humans tend to believe whatever they are experiencing as far as a horrific situation is an extremely limited outlook and if it's the worst they've ever experienced here on earth in human form they don't have an Apple's to Apple's ability to make a valid comparison and whatever they are feeling is hell it is from their limited perspective.
Vlad, please pray for me. I am battling anxiety, fibromyalgia, inguinal pain for a long time. I want to be free! 😞

I had some serious suicidal thoughts in my 20’s. I remember one day it was especially bad, I had an intrusive though that informed me that if I went through with it, that judgment was not going to go well for me. That solved the problem once and for all!
Imagine instead your testimony being used in the Holy court as a witness against Satan and the forces of darkness, those disobedient fallen angels. We don't just testify to other people to come and believe...we judge the fallen angels who tormented believers on earth. Then they are cast into hell with Satan. They came from heaven originally, fell to earth and are still wreaking havoc! They have never been to hell yet, any of them. It is being prepared for them when judgement comes, and you have to perform a duty of testifying against them for all the harm they did to the Earth, and especially the children of God. We judge those angels and defeat him with Jesus as our leader!
My cousin on his 17th birthday committed suicide 7 days ago will be 10 years, then my aunt (his mother) committed suicide today, 7 days after my cousin, 10 years ago! She couldn't handle his suicide and its the saddest thing ever. I found her! It was all so terrible and sad! I pray Jesus welcomed and held them both at the doors of Heaven! Trust me, the earthly consequences are unbearable and your family and friends will NEVER get over it. There will also be Heavenly consequences! ❤✝️🙏

I have the right to have hope that my Heavenly Father welcomed them with loving arms, in there worst despairing times of life! No one knows if in that moment they cried out to the Lord. They probably did in there deepest sorrows but no one knows. Yes it's sensitive. Have you found a loved one hanging before? Just because it's been 10 years trust me I relive that day, daily!

You don't know the full story, everyones story is different! There is a spirit of suicide and I know, my God is a Loving God of Mercy, grace, ALL knowing unlike us. Only he knows!
@@femininityfaith7920You are very wise! 👍
@femininityfaith7920 :
The Lord tells us to Read His word daily so that we can rebuke the enemy when he tests and tempts us.. 2 Timothy 3:16-27.
Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
Reading His Word Daily and Meditating on His word along with Praying and Fasting is Key!
Hebrew 4:12 "His word is living and active."
1 Thessolonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing."
Fasting is a way to humble yourself in the sight of God.
Psalm 6:10 “I humbled my soul with fasting."
You will rely on God more for strength when you fast.
Fasting and prayer can help us hear God more clearly through The Holy Spirit.
Being Led by The Holy Spirit is Key!
John 16:13 "The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth."
We are to Give God our Time. Listen for His voice and just be in His Presence.
This is How we draw closer to The Lord. During that dark time, it was The Lord Who spoke to me saying "taking your life is Not the answer."
And once I gave my life to Christ, and started reading His Word Daily, I asked The Lord to Give me an Understanding of His Word so that I wouldn't Twist His scriptures to my own liking.
The Lord Gives us Understanding of His Scriptures Through The Holy Spirit.
I asked Him to open up my eyes and to open up my ears because just like it says in Matthew 13:15 "many have eyes to see but still can't see, and many have ears to hear but still can't hear."
The Holy Spirit Gives us the Knowledge and Discernment we need so we can Distinguish the difference between Gods Truth and satans lies.
John 14:26 tells us The Holy Spirit is our Teacher. He is our Helper.
So the more we spend Time with The Lord, all Negative, evil and wicked thoughts the enemy whispers in our ears will become less and less and our Faith and Prayer Life will be made Stronger.
@femininityfaith7920 :
God gave us Authority!! Yet, so many folks don't even use the Authority He's given us.
All those miracles Jesus and His Disciples performed didn't just stop.. People Still perform these Miracles in The Mighty Name of Jesus till this very day!
I've witnessed the Mighty Hand of God cast out unclean spirits of what the world calls "Mental illness" but that's the worldly term but these are actually Unclean spirits.
Yes, that's Exactly what it is:
Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, thoughts of suicide, PTSD, Tourettes, Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Multiple personality disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder.. and even such things as Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, P3dofilia, R4pists, Child M0lestation, Murd3rers H0mosexuality, even Narcissism.. and the list goes on!
These are All Unclean spirits.. the Very Same unclean spirits that Jesus and All the Disciples, Apostles and Prophets Cast out when Jesus walked this earth.
This isn't something that started in the 1900's.. No, Unclean spirits have been among us since the beginning of Time.
And that's why we are to keep our eyes Fixed on Jesus.
Matthew 11:28-29 Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
And in Hebrews 12 tells us Not to give up on life..
Hebrews 12:2-4 "Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, The Champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame.
Now, He is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
3 Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.
4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.
See that? Look at that last line.. it says "you have Not given your lives in your struggle against sin."
The 6th Commandment is thou shall Not kill.. So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
I pray The Lord will open up your eyes so that you will See. I pray that He will Give you Understanding.
This is an extremely sensitive subject and the message they are delivering is a very dangerous message.
We need to make sure that we are Listening to God's Truth.. all His Scriptures are Truth.. Jesus Christ is Truth.. Let The Holy Spirit Guide you unto all Truth.
I recall a quote.
"Free will? I never had the free will to get born. No one asked me! The least I could do is have the free will to end this suffering without being told Im spending time hell forever for wanting relief. "
I’m 30 and have struggled with suicidal thoughts since I was 12 (perhaps younger but that was my first attempt)
I’ve been close to death several times. Each time I have been close I pray for forgiveness and express my longing to be with Him, He always saves me from following through.
I feel the Lord revealed to me I would have gone to a place of endless wondering..craving God’s presence but not knowing what I was looking for. He has shown me that I wouldn’t be with Him like I wanted if I took my own life. It wasn’t pure suffering and terror, but it was not joy..it was more so a waiting place filled with emptiness till His return for me. I’m grateful God has revealed this to me personally and have decided that life is far better than that place, despite turmoil I’m able to live on Earth with His blessings (my children and family). I no longer feel that I want to die even when I am having a difficult time in life. Jesus is always with me, He is the true comforter ❤
WHERE DO WE GET THAT STAE FROM? From the Word of God, Dr. Brown. Without holiness, no man shall see God. Murderers, the sexually immoral, the unbelieving and all liars shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. When the Enemy's hordes wanted me to end it all, the fear of the Lord kept me. Hallelujah!
True.
But we all sin and Jesus says that even lusting in your heart makes you an adulterer.
And if suicide causes salvation loss, then I have to keep the commandment of thou shalt not kill to get saved.
This is works salvation and makes salvation a reward.
And we all have lied. More times than we can count.
Salvation is a free gift and a believer who commits suicide still goes to Heaven. Salvation isn't by works or good deeds or keeping commandments.
Salvation isn't a reward.
I had this question for years, then I heard Ray Comfort reference "there is only one unforgivable sin" which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Good scripture and offers a lot of hope.
No it wont. I had two brothers who did and the Lord showed me them in heaven.
My brother overdosed last year and I've seen him in heaven too. It's nice to read about someone's experience similar to mine.
Hallelujah Jenny
A godly person would never ever think about suicide, nevertheless commit it. Jesus said He is the way the truth and the life.
blasphemous
My sister, took her own life in 2018
we where brought up in faith in Jesus
As we entered young adulthood we went through family break up and just a lot of disfunction
Addiction, oppression and other bad traumas
One evening she called me and i was in another country drunk
She was sluring her words and i couldn't really make sense of what she was saying, i was too intoxicated
Next day i found out she had taken an overdose of antidepressants and alcohol
I was full of guilt for years as to whether i had missed a call for help from her or if it was a good bye ,2 years later the lord revealed himself to me and brought me back him i was still dealing with a lot and o asked the Lord in prayer why my sister took her life and where she was and he answered me , the Lord said
It was because of sin,
He then said she believed in the blood of Jesus so she is saved
And with that i knew he had her i am so thankful for the Lord and because of his sacrifice ❤
Amen! Saved by Grace through faith! The good Shepard left the 99 to bring you back! Thank you for your testimony, it helps me feel more secure. God bless you and your family! I pray you get comfort for your past traumas 🥰.
I am so glad he came to you to give you this wonderful consolation!
danielhumphrey990 : That's why it's so important that we read The Bible in All its Entirety with an Understanding from The Lord so we won't be easily misled.
One of the Ten Commandments is thou shall Not kill.
So, if this is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
Are we suppose to think that there weren't people who had thoughts of suicide during the Time God had Moses write the Ten Commandments?
Of course Not. And if you remember clearly, in The Book of Numbers and Deuteronomy, God gave Moses instructions for those who accidentally killed someone and the persons family members would seek out revenge, so God gave Moses orders to tell them which towns they can escape to.
Why else would God have Moses give them that land for a quick escape?
It wasn't just so that the person seeking revenge wouldn't commit sin by taking someone's life, but also it was so that the person who was being sought out for revenge would not take their own life out of fear.
Even David before He became King was being hunted down by King Saul.. He was so afraid that he went hiding in a cave, yet he Never took his own life. And this went on for a very long time.
It seemed endless but David Never gave up.
He kept His Faith and Trust in The Lord.
Look at The Book of Job.. Job lost everything. He lost his servants, his land, his house, all his money, he lost all of his livestock.. he even lost his sons and daughters.. they all died in a fire.
Everything.. All gone.. he had Nothing.
His health was declining and he fell into a deep depression and it says in Job 3:21 "Job longed for death" ..
That scripture tells us right there that Job was having thoughts of suicide but deep down inside, he Knew Not to go against God and break His Commandment. Why? Because He Knew that Killing others or yourself is a One Way Ticket to hell.
But Gods Love Conquers All.
Who are we to make that decision to take life, even if it's our own?
Did we create ourselves that we can take our own self out of this world?
No, of course Not. Only God can.
And it says in Job 1:21 right after Job received the terrible news about his children, that he fell to the ground in worship and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.
The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away; may the name of The Lord be praised.”
See that, Job said "The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away" .. Job Never once said "The Lord gives but He has granted us permission to take away"..
No, Job didn't say that.
But now let's take a look at that last line, Job said "may the name of The Lord be praised"..
He said that out of Fear and Reverence for God. He feared The Lord so that is why he Praised God immediately after having negative thoughts.
We are to fear God.. so how are we showing fear of our Lord if we take our own lives?
When you take your own life, it only shows that you didn't put All your trust in Jesus.
But Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30 "Cast your Heavy Burdens on Me and I will Give you Rest. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Jesus said this because He knows the problems of the world can be overwhelming and can cause fear, doubt, stress, anxiety and cause us to lose hope which can lead to suicide but Jesus Never said "you will have troubles in this world that will cause you to doubt Me and you might even take your own life, and I understand.. so I say to you, take your own life if you must"..
No, He Never said that. But what He did say is..
John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
We are to Keep our Eyes on Jesus!!
These scriptures make it very clear that we are Not to take our own lives.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to God, and He will make your paths straight."
It says Submit to Him.. so how are we submitting to Him if we take our own lives.
Hosea 4:6 "My people perish for Lack of Knowledge."
Gods Love Conquers All.
I will gladly keep going if anyone needs me to.
@@LM-ol4wc Yes, suicide is a sin, but are our sins not forgiven and washed away by the blood of Jesus? He died for our past present and future sins, therefore if someone were to take their life, it would still be forgiven. Just because we are forgiven, doesn’t give us the right to keep sinning no, but if we do we will still be forgiven. Just like thou shalt not murder is a law so is thou shalt not lie. I’m sure people lie more than murder and brake more commandments than someone who took their own life. No where does the Bible say suicide is the one way ticket to hell, if it were, It’d be in there since it’d be so dangerous. God bless!
James 2:10-11 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
Romans 5:9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
@@LM-ol4wc LM I would love it if you can keep going, because it is all good and true that we are supposed to be guided by God. I just hope those who have tough questions get real answers. They are asking if taking your own life causes their soul to be damned in some sort of default judgement.
As a longtime Bible scholar I have had this question posed to me many times, and as a born again believer I always answer that the grace that Christ's blood provided in His finished work of salvation is, and always be sufficient for us. It is sufficient to sustain us through hardship, and also sufficient to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness when we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior.
Many people struggle with this due to false doctrines that are widespread. That suicides go to hell is a well known teaching of the Catholic church. This has damaged so many believers who are torn apart over and over when they grieve for their loved ones that committed suicide. I hate for people wondering about their lost loved ones in Christ suffering and grieving when they should be comforted by hope in Jesus' ability to save.
Remember: God's arm is not too short to save us from death and Gehenna (hell) once we become His children. Like Paul said in Romans 8:38-39 I am confident that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything in all creation will be able to separate us from to the love of God that is in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Take THAT to heart, my friends! The problem with the old covenant of keeping all God's laws and commandments is that we humans, though we try and struggle to do everything that is right and avoid failure is that we simply cannot keep His law. Jesus is the only one that was ever able to do this! The great sacrifice our Lord made in offering Himself as the holy, perfect sacrificial Lamb of God to take the sin of the world was BECAUSE HE KNEW WE COULD ONLY BE SAVED BY HIM DOING THIS FOR US. my friends, the letter of the law kills because no human has kept God's law except for Jesus the Christ. Because He offered Himself we can now be righteous by the miracle of His Grace. His righteousness we can now claim as ours. In our weakness we can claim His strength. Though humans failed Christ gives victory over death, victory over sin, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it either. The Light went out into the darkness, and the darkness has NOT overcome it!
My friends, where our will is given over to God's will there can be no failure. Do not despair over your lost loves because no one can pluck them from Our Father's hand when Christ has claimed them! And don't let our feelings and our own will or the darkness that tempts us and tried to dismay us have a voice anymore. They cannot overcome the Light. Remain in the Light! Remain in the shelter of the Most High and pour your heart out to God. He cares for you. And then put on a garment of praise and drive out that spirit of heaviness. It is demonic, and sent to afflict you so you don't accomplish all the wonderful things God will do when you give your life to His service. Don't think it is our effort...He goes before us.
Now get out there and find that evil spirit that whispers destruction and DESTROY IT IN THE GLORY OF GOD!
Dr Brown/Vlad-
I pray you get my message. I am so grateful you men of God choose* to tackle this terrible sensitive topic. I literally could not agree more with how you both talked about this. It's what I've said for 2 decades. When I was 16, my daddy (who was a Christian) took his life. I was told by many that he was by default, in HELL. That was so terrifying and tormenting on top of what I was already trying to grieve and process. I have come a long way in these 22 years. How yall discussed this, word for word, is what I explain to ppl. Ppl NEED THIS TO BE SAID AND TO BE HEARD. Send this out to EVERYONE
Sorry for your loss, but we must be very careful what we allow our ears to hear and what we believe is truth.
This is indeed a very sensitive topic but that's why we must go by what God's Scriptures say.
Majority of folks believe that we no longer have to follow The Ten Commandments but God Never told us that the Ten Commandments were no longer necessary.. and Jesus even tells us the complete opposite.
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to Fulfill them."
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, what is the Greatest Commandment in the law of Moses?”
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love The Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38 This is the First and Greatest Commandment.
39 The second is like it: ‘Love others as yourself.’
40 The Entire law and all the demands of the prophets are Based on these two Commandments.”
See that?
It says The Entire Law is Based on these Two Commandments.
And Jesus said these Commandments Still Stand.. They are Not Abolished and that includes the 6th Commandment : thou shall Not kill.
So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
Jesus also said to Love yourself..
So how are those who commit suicide, showing God they love Him and loved themselves?
To Love God is to put Him First which is The Greatest Commandment..
To love God First and Put Him First means to Obey Him, Fear Him, Respect Him.. Love God First before ourselves.
God comes first Always! Do not disregard God's word, for it says in
Proverbs 15:32 “Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.”
FALSE TEACHING!
BELIEVE THE WORDS OF JESUS!
But people who commit Self Murder GO TO HELL.
@@jameschupp2230 if murder was an unforgivable sin......then Paul (Saul) is in Hell?

Lately I have been going through certain things that have been causing me immense stress. Very unpleasant thoughts have been crossing my mind my sisters have a lot to do with the way I have been feeling this is because of feuding over inheritance . They have since placed my elderly mum in a home against her will and are in the process of cleaning her out financially now they want to have me evicted from our home . All this has made me very depressed also I suffer from chronic medical problems and have been diagnosed with high blood , arthritis as well as both kidney and heart failure and as you can well imagine the suicidal thoughts that have been racing through my mind. Please keep me in prayer , God bless !
God will make a way. He does not give us a spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind. I pray that all the enemies plans will fail. You shall live and not die in Jesus mighty name Amen!!
It is patronizing to assert that “mental health” issues merit, or justify, suicide. Saints have suffered every imaginable sorrow…read Acts as just one source (jail, imprisonment, flogged, hated, stalked, stoned, and more)…and NO suicide. Simply do not ever do it. It is the devil that comes to steal, kill, and if he can, destroy.
Yes Correct.
My mom and brother were in physical pain from injury ( both neck problems) My family has generational curse that I’ve been trying to iradicate for years. Depression has been result from all that and my fear and worry about their salvation.
I appreciate this and pray my loved ones I get to see again. My heart has been affected by the loss for most of my life. I pray daily for the peace and joy but mostly for grace and mercy for the many people I’ve lost who were such good people. The Word says love covers a multitude of sins. I’m counting on that for my loved ones❤️🙏🙌
So glad you have hope in salvation! Put that helmet on! The helmet of hope of our salvation , mentioned in1 thessalonians 5:8 is clearly a habitual action to protect our minds in this ugly world. Paul says in Ephesians 6 to take it. Yes, once saved the owner of your spirit is now Jesus. Forever. But we have to consciously put that helmet of hope in salvation on. A soldier rarely wears a helmet 24 and 7. We need to consciously put on our spiritual armor, the breastplate of His righteousness to guard our heart, gird your loins in truth (in Bible times imagine a lady pulling her skirts in and up ready to do some work...men did the same thing getting ready to move fast) and put your shoes on to be ready to spread that gospel! Get behind that shield of faith when under fire! And learn to wield that sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
Some Christians are not familiar with battles and warzone ( but they will be!) But think of a battle fatigued soldier jumping into action. They may have to put their helmet on!
But if we have weakness, we lose heart, and then sin by giving up hope...the love and goodness of God will still not separate us from His love if we are believers who called on Jesus, put our faith in Him.
1 Corinthians 13 talks all about the power of love. Where all else will eventually cease...there is faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love.
Now take heart, and have hope, sister. May God bless you and comfort you!
Samson is in the heroes of faith chapter, Hebrews 11. Not only that, but God gave him the strength to end his own life and bring that building down.
Good point, never thought of Sampson in that way before
Did he mean to end his own life, though? Genuinely interested. I thought he asked for his strength back to crush the philis tines. I did a ropical study on suicide, and have read other peoples biblical studies on the subject, as I've known many people who have committed this act. I'm interested in what others have to say. Thank you.
@@mcfn144 “he (Sampson) prayed, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And the temple crashed down on the Philistine rulers and all the people. So he killed more people when he died than he had during his entire lifetime.”
Wasn’t Sampson effectively a soldier, willing to GIVE his life to save others from the Philistines? That is very different than killing oneself by throwing in the towel because whatever is “too hard”. It is very thin ice to cozy up to self-murder on the basis of a mention Sampson in Hebrews 11. In short, to GIVE your life for others is one thing (like Jesus giving His life for us all, laying your life down) and yet TAKING your life by throwing in the towel is another thing entirely, and entirely terrible. Do not kill yourself.
@@paulpierce7387 Paul the question was not " is that not a sin? ". The question was if suicide sends you to hell. I was simply using scripture to explain answers and doctrine( per 2 Timothy 3:16). Many people are being mislead on what it means to be pardoned of sin vs committing an unforgivable, or damnable sin.
No one here is condoning or promoting suicide. Just clarifying what scripture says about scripture. The word of God is always in agreement with itself. Whether you are a soldier, Nazarite, prisoner of war, or self harming sinner the thing that attains your salvation is belief that Christ is the Son of God who saved us from being condemned as sinner's. Many folks I know are brokenhearted over losing loved ones to suicide, self harm, overdose, or mysterious circumstances. Many have been told their loved ones are suffering hell fire for things they did under the influence of substances, depression, mental illness, or even fear. I actually believe people who take their own life are under an evil influence (except in cases like Samson, where he was in the Spirit of God.
The exception for soldiers committing any kind of violence didn't work for God's standard of holiness when David wanted so much to build Him a temple for the Ark of the Covenant. God basically said " thanks for the offer, but no: your hands are bloody. Have your son do it. He is a man of peace." Loose paraphrase, but God is the judge. Whether you are a soldier or a prisoner of war like Samson was not the point. None of it sounds good to do, but the unforgivable sin is the blasphemy of Holy Spirit.
Here in Canada the number of people dying 0f doctor assisted suicide is constantly going up. Your question is so pertinent.
I believe that if we are born again, the holy spirit that dwells within side of us will save us from our own selves, and keep us in sobriety
Let see if I can make sense of this. So Michael Brown said you can potentially go to heaven after you have committed suicide, because it’s just like every other sin. He said if we sin all we have to do is come back to him and he will receive us. At the end he said “unconfessed sin no one gets away with it.” Well lets take a deeper dive into this. When someone commits suicide he cannot come back to God and ask for forgiveness because he took his own life before he could return to him, so God could receive him. Which means,he died in sin. And if what Michael said is true, “that no one gets away with unconfessed sin.” Then I guess one who commits sin cannot potentially go to heaven. I wish people would hear their own self.
YES!! AMEN!!
Someone taking their own life is Not a part of God's Perfect Plan.
God did Not set us up to fail.
So many folks have ears to hear but still can't hear.. they have eyes to see but still can't see, just Like Jesus said in Matthew.
Mr. Vlad I recently prayed about this. I have lost many friends and would like some closure. Thank you for your time and witness.
A family member committed suicide after years of being a volunteer /philanthropist for and in Ethiopia and for world hunger for children. I believe he couldn’t take seeing the constant hunger and suffering after so many years I think he is with God as a hard core Irish Catholic born in Ireland. I can’t imagine my God refusing him into his arms with grace and love💟✝️🙏
If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.
- 1 Corinthians 3:17
Jesus said these words! Do you call him a liar?
@@elainewat2607careful, you're not God.
@@elainewat2607 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 says, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”
This verse has sometimes been used to say that those who commit suicide will be destroyed by God, i.e. receive eternal judgment and not salvation. The problem with using this verse in this way, is that this verse is not talking about suicide.
While 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 argues for individual holiness on the basis of the fact that, as believers in whom God’s Spirit dwells, we are the temple of the living God, in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Paul is talking about the church corporately as the temple of God. This is similar to what Peter says in 1 Peter 2:5, where he says, “you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” The picture Peter paints is that we are each individual stones who come together to form the temple of God; God, thus, makes his habitation in the midst of the congregation, not in special buildings built by human hands (cf. Acts 7:48, 17:24)
The problem we have in modern English is that we use the same word, “you”, for both the second person singular and the second person plural (y’all or you guys - depending on where you’re from), so a simple reading in our modern vernacular doesn’t tell us if a verse is directed towards us as individuals or to a collective group. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 uses you in the second person plural, meaning that Paul is speaking of those who destroy God’s temple as those who destroy the Body of Christ, the Church. This is also clear from the context of 1 Corinthians 3, where Paul is talking about the importance of unity in the Body of Christ.
Thus, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 is a warning about how seriously God takes attacks against the Church, not a warning aimed at those who are considering suicide.
@@elainewat2607 There are men who have destroyed the temple of God , such as the apostle Paul. Prior to Paul's Damascus Road experience, he made it his mission to kill as may Christians as possible. Do you therefore believe he has been refused entry to heaven? Don't take the words of Jesus out of context. The same Jesus who was warning people not to sin by murdering people offers those same people salvation becaus of his finished work at Calvary. Jesus is not a liar. Jesus lets us know our fate if we go down an ungodly path, but also lets us know we are rescued from damnation if we choose to cry out to him, and repent and surrender to him.
@freyamccauley :
No, this is a very dangerous teaching.
Remember, Jesus tells us in Matthew that there will be a Great Falling Away and Jesus said in Matthew 22:14 says "Many are called but only a Few will be chosen".. many will Fall Away from God's True Teachings.
Someone who has killed others can repent and be forgiven.. go and sin No more.
A thief can repent and be forgiven.. go and sin no more.
An adulterer can repent and be forgiven.. go and sin No more.
An idolator can repent and be forgiven.. go and sin no more..
Now tell me how can a person who has commited suicide, repent and be forgiven and "go and sin no more"..??..
Where in The Bible does the 6th Commandment say "Thou shall Not kill but suicide is acceptable".. ??..
Nowhere does it say that.
Do you not understand that killing is killing.. even if it's by taking your own life?
We should Not try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form.
Do you think Jesus died for our sins and Resurrected on the Third Day so that we can just take our own lives anyway because Jesus dying for us just wasn't enough?
Is there another definition of the 6th Commandment: thou shall Not kill..
I'm asking since folks feel it wasn't clear enough when The Lord said thou shall Not kill.
Not sure how much clearer folks need it to be, but it doesn't get anymore clear than that.
Be careful Not to listen to the false teachings of men who tell you what your itching ears want to hear.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
"For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching.
They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.
They will reject the truth and chase after myths."
In the sixth century AD, suicide became a secular crime and began to be viewed as sinful. In 1533, those who died by suicide while accused of a crime were denied a Christian burial. In 1562, all suicides were punished in this way. In 1693, even attempted suicide became an ecclesiastical crime, which could be punished by excommunication, with civil consequences following. In the 13th century, Thomas Aquinas denounced suicide as an act against God and as a sin for which one could not repent.
Needless to say there was less suicide. The modern Christians are guilty of our modern increase in suicides nationwide because we give everyone a pass or a chance and now there's zero fear of hell!
Nobody who commit suicide is right within their mind. There Has to be some issue that’s pushing them to the very edge. Some people are in horrible pain from some kind of medical condition and they can’t endure the pain any longer. But I do remember that when Jesus was on the cross, he did say, father forgive them, for they know not what they do. And I wonder just how far reaching Jesus prayer to the father reaches. There probably is those who didn’t realize what they’re really doing and took their own life.
Dr. Michael Brown is Absolutely Wrong.
Jesus Said: That even if you had One (1) UNFORGIVENESS toward a Person, and you die, That UNFORGIVING Person Goes To Hell.
@@vf3289 Yes that is true... But Michael Brown Does NOT KNOW MORE THAN JESUS???
Jesus is very Clear on where murderers go... To Hell. You don't Tempt God!
Jesus is Loving... Jesus' Conditions for Salvation Do NOT Change!
People who think that Self Murder is ok, are Delusional!
There is NO FORGIVENESS ONCE YOU DIE!!!!
Look The Lord's Prayer is NOT JUST A PRAYER... It is THE WAY You Have to LIVE If You Want TO GO TO HEAVEN!!!
God's Overcoming Grace / Power is for this life To Those Who Call Upon His Name and Obey What Jesus Says.
And if They Don't Meet God's Mark Of Approval.... That Person Absolutely Goes To Hell.

What Jesus Said Will STAND FOREVER!
NO MAN CAN CANCEL ANYTHING THAT JESUS SAID!
WHAT JESUS SAID... SO IT WILL BE.
Funny, That you Can NOT Even Tell me HOW I AM WRONG...
You Are The Deceived!
Jesus was talking about those who were persecuting him. Read the scripture in context.
Judas betrayed Jesus and committed suicide and went to hell... Jesus said it would have been better for him to not have been born.
What you have to understand about suicide is it’s not just murder, it’s actually denying the Will of God for your life. When you commit this act, you are turning your back on God and telling Him that your will mattered more than His. It’s a lot deeper than just murder. Killing and murder are different when you decipher the “motive” behind it.
I hear what you're saying, but think about it this way.
When Jesus went to the cross, it was God the Son absorbing God the Father's wrath for all of our sins. To me that says a few different things.
When God forgives sins He does it outside of space and time. He gives us an _eternal forgiveness._ Not just past sins, but all sins - past, present and future.
If our names are written in heaven, thats the same as saying, our names are written in eternity. Our names have been written from the beginning to the end of all creation. What can happen in time that can cancel out something God has done in eternity?
Also think of this. Jesus suffered many punishments on the cross, so he could be the Savior of all our sins.
For murderers, Jesus was murdered. For abusers, Jesus was abused. For thieves, Jesus lost everything he had. For the proud, Jesus was humiliated and degraded. For mockers, Jesus was mocked. For addicts, Jesus went to the cross 100% sober.
The list goes on and on... its really beautiful and humbling. I think suicide is on this list too.
Like you said: committing suicide is an act of turning your back on God's will. God's will is for you to continue to live and suffer on earth. But in a moment of weakness, you turn and run from that future suffering by ending your life.
I think Jesus earned the right to save these believers, by iwhat He did in the garden of Gethsemane. He started to see the full horror of what the cross would be like, and his courage was absolutely tested to the limit. Whether or not He would abandon God's will and run from that suffering.
I gotta say, I don't think I would have made it. I'm not sure if anyone in history could have still chosen the cross after seeing the cost. Jesus did. He stayed strong through that temptation, and therefore Christ did what suicidal believers failed to do. He endured. He paid the price for all who run away from suffering, by staying and enduring. So Jesus has the authority to forgive that sin and be our Savior.
This is actually something I'm just thinking of while writing this. I'm curious what you think, if it makes sense to you haha.
@@the.seagull.35 lemme read it, brb
@@the.seagull.35 I hear exactly what you are saying but if I today tell God “I no longer want your salvation, take your Holy Spirit from me I want my own will and I take my life in my hands” then do the deed, I have chosen my own will I must suffer the consequences. God is just even when we think he is not. Remember in Psalm 51 when David said “take not thy Holy Spirit from me which meaning, it can be taken from you and you can lose salvation. Salvation is given when we confess Jesus as Lord but…….. remember in Revelation it also says “if any word of this book is changed, you’re name will be blotted out” so you have to be in the book to be blotted out. If I willing take my life back in which I gave to Christ I forfeit everything that comes with it. I’ve been suicidal before, I can sympathize but that is the will of man and we must stand on what we have chosen
@@No_Dior_Just_Christian lol yeah I know sorry.
@@No_Dior_Just_Christian but don't we all still do this, as believers? Do you ever know God's will about a certain thing, and then make excuses to justify doing what you're not supposed to do, and then regretting it afterwards and repenting? I feel like that's a super common experience in the Christian walk.
So if a believer knows its wrong to commit suicide, and they resist with all their might, and somehow they come up with reasons to do it and then in a moment of weakness they do it. How is that different... only because they can't regret it afterward? I promise you they do, the moment its done.
Would Jesus take back his salvation and throw them into eternal doom? This person who Jesus Christ loved and bled and died for one of Jesus's own precious sheep who He knows by name? You think Jesus would throw this poor believer out into the street and slam the door because the believer became too weak and sad to stop themselves from suicide?
Honestly I think it would be *_monstrous_* if Jesus Christ did this. I cannot imagine why or how he could be so cruel.
It is a common "churchy" thing to say that suicide sends you to hell. But you know... that's actually not in Scripture. It really is not.
So what if instead of just taking the easy party line without thinking, we look at this as two genuine disciples who know the Lord Jesus Christ personally?
After knowing firsthand how beautiful Jesus is to us... and what a kind, loving, merciful, compassionate and forgiving Savior He's been for us in all our sins and weaknesses.
How can we look at a sad, struggling believer who committed suicide, and say: "Good riddance, loser. I don't want any weak cowards or screwups like you in heaven anyway. God hates you for what you did. Jesus rejected you. He doesn't want you anymore. and I don't either. You sinned, and now you get to pay for it. You don't belong with us. you never will. Now go burn in hell and let me enjoy my eternal bliss in peace."
I believe it would be blasphemy of the holy Spirit to commit suicide.
Jesus says the road that leads to life is narrow and few find it. Also, if the righteous are barely saved what hope is their for the sinner? But through God all things are possible.
Stay on the narrow road... JESUS IS WORTH IT, HEAVEN IS WORTH ANY PAIN AND TRIBULATION THIS EARTH HOLDS. Destroying your own temple is unacceptable.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
Eternally. Forever.
It's been settled.
YUP.
I'm tired of works salvation false prophets in comments.
Suicide kills the body, but it cannot kill the born again spirit.
If the person is born again amd commits suicide that person is going to hell because they took a life. Thats why its best to know Jesus really well.
@@SkylarWilson-xc2enaren't you listening? You can't say that definitely, you're not Jesus Christ.
@@freyamccauley Clearly you are not listening
False
@Spiritwordtv: so you're saying we were born again just so that we can take our own lives? So Jesus sacrificed His life for us for Nothing.. is what you're saying?
The issue is not the suicide, does the person have faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation or not? That's the determining factor
This question should remain controversial, as its more noble to discourage someone from taking their own life, than to placate/encourage those that are suicidal. Their is also the possibility that these gentlemen could be wrong, and mislead someone who is teetering on lifes edge as it were.
Yes, they are definitely wrong.. this teaching is so dangerous.
NO.
This shouldn't be controversial if you accept that salvation is by faith only and not deeds.
Jesus earned our salvation and purchased Heaven by perfectly living according to God's laws and dying on the Cross before conquering death with His resurrection.
We trust HIM. Not our imperfect keeping of the law because we fail.
Salvation isn't a reward for deeds or avoiding sins. Salvation is free.
The epistle of James says: when a sin is conceived then it develops and gives fruit later to death. Committing a sin starts a spiritual decease in your spirit but you do not lose your salvation right a way. that sin needs to develop and envelope your spirit/heart in order to force Holy Spirit our and to lose salvation.
This is not a good interview for people who may have these thoughts. I had to stop a less than 3 minutes!
In the book of Ezekiel chapter 18 it says that if anyone does right and then wrong his right will not be remembered. The same for someone who has done wrong and turns to doing righteously... the wrong will not be remembered.
If you act a fool and then get in a wreck you will be juged like a fool.
I can say I have righteous anger because many will hear this sin and go to hell. And you all will be judged for the souls you lead there.
I use to have suicidal thoughts saying I was a "Christian" and it was demons. When i got delivered i still had to keep on my helmet of salvation. I have to cast down all the thoughts of the enemy.
Stop trying to make this feel good message for people in sin and tell them they need to repent because the lake of fire will be for all eternity!
Jesus the righteous judge will judge all with pride that thought their life that he paid for was not worth living, and they took it by their own hands!
Give the word of God truthfully or let those who know the heart of God give it while you go into prayer and ask for his direction.
*PLEASE, whoever reads this, Jesus is a righteous judge. Life on earth is nothing compared to what awaits all those who do not submit to him wholeheartedly.
Give him your life and he will help you with all of the details... I am a witness!
God bless ❤
Calm down
My father committed suicide in 2009. This is a question I’ve wrestled with since. He was addicted to prescription medication. One day, he slipped and fell and broke his back. He was paralyzed from waste down and no longer had the pain that he had previously. He had been on opioids for over 30 years. They took them away from him and days later he was gone. I’ve thought about starting a RUclips channel based on this story and my feelings on your topic. I’d like to help people that are going through what we did and also those struggling with mental health.
If I’m not mistaken, I heard the gentleman say one save always saved, and I totally disagree with that doctrine of one saved always saved, but then again, we can agree to disagree and totally agree that at the end, only God can dictate our results and our internal residency I guess we will find out a judgment day
“‘Son of man, speak to your people. Say to them, “Think about what might happen if I send an army to attack a country. The people of that country might choose one of their own men to be a guard to warn them about danger. Then, if the guard sees that enemy soldiers are ready to attack, he must blow a trumpet to warn his people. Someone might hear the sound of the trumpet, but he does nothing to keep himself safe. If enemy soldiers then come and kill that person, he is guilty of his own death. He deserves to die because he heard the sound of the trumpet, but he did nothing. When the trumpet warned him of danger, he should have got ready. If he had done that, he would have saved his life. But the guard might not blow the trumpet when he sees the enemy. He might not warn his people that the enemy is ready to attack them. Then enemy soldiers might kill some of his people. Those people will die because of their sins. But the guard will be guilty of their death, because he did not warn them of danger.” Son of man, I have chosen you to be a guard for Israel's people. You must listen to the messages that I give you. Then you must use what I say to warn the Israelites. I might say to a wicked person, “You will certainly die because of your sins.” Then you must warn that wicked person to stop doing wicked things. If you do not warn him, he will die because of his sins. But I will say that you are guilty of his death. If you do warn him and he refuses to change, he will die because of his sins. But you will have saved your own life. Son of man, give Israel's people this message: “You are saying, ‘The punishment for our sins is too much for us. We are dying because of all the bad things that we have done. What should we do so that we can continue to live?’ ” Tell them, “It does not make me happy to punish wicked people with death. I, the Almighty Lord, promise you this, as surely as I live. I want wicked people to stop doing wrong things so that they may continue to live. So stop doing evil things! Israel's people, you do not have to die. Turn back to me!” Son of man, you must say to your people, “If a righteous person refuses to obey me, I will punish him. The good things that he has done will not save him. And if a wicked person stops doing bad things, he will no longer be guilty. Righteous people will not continue to live if they start to do bad things.” I may say to righteous people that they will certainly continue to live. But then they may trust in the good things that they have done. They may think that I will not punish them if they start to do evil things. But if they do that, I will destroy them because of their sins. I will not even think about the good things that they did at an earlier time. Also, I may say to wicked people, “You will certainly die because of your sins.” But then they may stop doing bad things. They may start to do things that are good and right. For example, a wicked person might give back something that he has taken from someone as a guarantee. Or he might give back things that he has robbed from people. A wicked person might start to obey the laws that give life. He might stop doing evil things. If wicked people change like that, then they will continue to live. They will not die as punishment for their sins. I will not think about the sins that they have done. Now that they have started to do things that are good and right, they will certainly continue to live. Your people, the Israelites, are saying: “The Lord is not fair in the things that he does!” But it is the people themselves who live in a way that is not fair. If a righteous person stops doing good things and he starts to do evil things, he will die. He deserves to die because of his sins. Also, if a wicked person stops doing bad things and he starts to do things that are good and right, he will continue to live. He deserves to live because he has changed. But you Israelites continue to say, “The Lord is not fair!” But I will judge each of you in a way that you deserve for the things that you have done.’”
If you don't know you're saved and if you aren't sure, that means you aren't saved.
You are NOT saved because you trust in works.
OSAS is the natural result of faith alone salvation. If belief alone is enough, then that's it. Nothing else is needed.
1 Corinthians 10:13 NASB95 - No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
Augustine wrote The City of God, in it making a condemnation of suicide. His biblical justification for this was the interpretation of the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill", as he sees the omission of "thy neighbor", which is included in "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor", to mean that the killing of oneself is not allowed either
I am not a once saved always saved believer. But I also try not to play God in obvious situations. When anyone passes a way; no matter how…we should not assume they are in heaven or not. But I have been to enough funerals that some have such a peace about them than others; I still try to stay in my lane about it. Always weird me out that everybody speaks as though every one who passes is in heaven and with Jesus tbh - and always has - since I was very young. Sometimes it would make me mad and I would want to scream You Don’t Know
Yes, it amazes me at how many people think Like that.. bit Hosea 4:6 does say "My people perish for Lack of Knowledge." And that's why a lot of folks think that just by believing Jesus is our Lord and Savior, and getting baptized will save them.. but even the demons and fallen angels believe in Jesus Christ.
Salvation is by faith alone. Period. You are not saved by your deeds and efforts otherwise salvation becomes a reward.
James 2:19 is clear that the demons believe in one God. Sure. Monotheism is certainly not enough to be saved. Many false religions such as Islam are monotheistic.
John 10:11 is where Jesus says He gives up His life for the sheep. Christians are the sheep.
Jesus never said He gives His life for the thief (Satan). Jesus is God in the flesh (1st Timothy 3:16) not God in angel form. Jesus died for His people but not for angels.
@@palmtreesmusic1945 I agree.

FALSE TEACHING!
BELIEVE THE WORDS OF JESUS!
But people who commit Self Murder GO TO HELL.
God is a God of Compassion, yes, but God is also a just God and He does Not want us to take our own lives.. after all, His 6th Commandment is Thou shall Not kill and Jesus said that He did Not come to abolish The Law but to Fullfill it..
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to Fulfill them."
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, what is the Greatest Commandment in the law of Moses?”
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love The Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
38 This is the First and Greatest Commandment.
39 The second is like it: ‘Love others as yourself.’
40 The Entire law and all the demands of the prophets are Based on these two Commandments.”
See, It says The Entire Law is Based on these Two Commandments.
And Jesus said these Commandments Still Stand.. They are Not Abolished and that includes the 6th Commandment : thou shall Not kill.
So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form? Killing is killing, even if that is by taking your own life.
How is killing ourselves putting our full Trust and faith in God..
God gave us Authority so that we can stand firm against these wicked and evil temptations and tests from the enemy.
We need to Start Using that Authority.
Jesus didn't die for our sins and then Resurrect on the Third Day so that we could just take our lives anyway as if Jesus dying for us wasn't enough..
No, Jesus died for our sins..
Jesus Conquered death.. Jesus Conquered the grave..
Suicide is Never the answer.
Authority!! Folks still cast out those unclean spirits till this very day, All in The Mighty Name of Jesus!!
All those miracles Jesus and His Disciples performed didn't just stop.. People Still perform these Miracles in The Mighty Name of Jesus till this very day!
I've witnessed the Mighty Hand of God cast out unclean spirits of what the world calls "Mental illness" but that's the worldly term but these are actually Unclean spirits.
Yes, that's Exactly what it is:
Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, thoughts of suicide, PTSD, Tourettes, Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Multiple personality disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder.. and even such things as Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, P3dofilia, R4pists, Child M0lestation, Murd3rers H0mosexuality, even Narcissism.. and the list goes on!
These are All Unclean spirits.. the Very Same unclean spirits that Jesus and All the Disciples, Apostles and Prophets Cast out when Jesus walked this earth.
This isn't something that started in the 1900's.. No, Unclean spirits have been among us since the beginning of Time.
And that's why we are to keep our eyes Fixed on Jesus.
Matthew 11:28-29 Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
And in Hebrews 12 tells us Not to give up on life..
Hebrews 12:2-4 "Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, The Champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross, disregarding its shame.
Now, He is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
3 Think of all the hostility He endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.
4 After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin.
See that? Look at that last line.. it says "you have Not given your lives in your struggle against sin."
The 6th Commandment is thou shall Not kill.. So, if thou shall Not kill is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
I pray The Lord will open up your eyes so that you will See. I pray that He will Give you Understanding.
Let the Holy Spirit Guide you into All Truth.. John 16:13.
We as humans are too quick to judge and condemn others based on our own logic and understanding from even the Bible, God is VASTLY above us and operates outside of space and even time itself, only God knows what's truly in the hearts of others, whether they are victims to murders, suicide, mental illness, the list can go on. For anyone to condemn someone to hell in their own understanding is not very fair of them to do so, even if they have endured such mental health problems or spiritual attacks. We are all weak and in need of a saviour, suicide is theoretically on a similar spectrum as cancer is, a spiritual cancer if you even wish to call it such, and even with treatment as with cancer sometimes cancer wins sometimes treatment works, not always. It is not selfish when your brain is literally malfunctioning to the point of any other human organ failing that someone can see suicide as an option to take. It is abhorrent and disgusting for people to judge others to hell when they are not and have not been in their "shoes" as in their lives. Seeing people shout and throw scripture verses at others who may need help since God not only acts within us but through other people, even with doctors and medications, therapy, just even being a friend to those who need help the most. The inability to actually care about some people who are pushed to their mental limit, and just automatically assume "oh they're in hell, la dee da no rainbows in heaven for them" is just disgusting showing a deep disregard for someone losing a battle in life. Not all battles can be won, even with God on our side, as even Christians, EVERYONE will still slip and fall and sin, it is our unfortunate nature, we are fallen humans that need help from others, not condemnation. Pray for those who have taken their lives, not condemn them, you DO NOT KNOW what they have had to go through.
Thank you for speaking out. People don't know what the other person's are going thru. I know I tried to take my life twice because of the nightmares of what happened to me as a 5 year old child. But I heard about Jesus in a mental hospital. There was a gentleman that worked there. He told me about Jesus. I am so thankful He didn't judge me but told me about a loving Jesus. I askedJesis into my heart on my family room floor face down. Jesus came into my heart. It was totally true what he said about Jesus. It has been 35 years. I am still learning how much He truly loves me. Yes He is still healing me as I can handle it 😊😊😊
Once a person has died and is gone, it is too late to pray for them.

It's only the devil that tells someone to off themselves. Call upon the Name above all names, Jesus and He will rescue you. Pick up and read the Bible if such thoughts have been put into your mind. Seek the truth of the LORD!
Death seems like such a peaceful relief, maybe it’s just me but what’s point to live, if God saw and knew that i would waste the rest of my life, being addicted as i am, being a misfit, someone who is buried in sorrow…
What’s the point of living
People who are miserable and going through hell on Earth think that suicide is going to put them at rest. It won't. If they choose to WILFULLY kill themselves they will wake up in shock on the other side because they'll be in even worse hell than what they ever went through on Earth. To off yourself means that you are choosing death, not life. So if you choose death, your soul will be dead forever in Hell. Don't choose to end your life and expect to have life in Heaven, because you won't. Eternal life is for those who choose to LIVE and offing yourself is ultimately you choosing to die, it's you choosing Satan over Jesus because Satan is death and Jesus is life. God gave you your life and gave you a choice. You choosing to end it means you're choosing Satan and not Him. People killing themselves thinking they will be in peace and be in Heaven are super deceived. There's no way someone can choose death and then wake up in Heaven, it contradicts everything. If you think you're in the worst pain here on Earth right now, imagine ending it only to wake up in a million times worse torture and pain in Hell, then wishing you could come back to Earth where that pain was nothing compared to where you find yourself on the other side of suicide. Stuck in a place you can never come out of. How do you expect to be given the gift of life, then taking that life into your own hands, ending it like you're in control, like you're your own god, then expect to be in a peaceful paradise? People actually think this way and that's a dangerous way of thinking. That's how the devil gets people to do it and steals souls. Don't make an eternal mistake that you can never come back from.
Natashakacarson I guess you have never been tortured with suicide than?
You're incredibly ignorant.
Salamat po Fr Jowel Gatus sa Mabuting Balita sa DIYOS lahat ng papuri, Amen 🙏🙏🙏
We pray that they go to Heaven yes. I know two women whose sons committed suicide and I want to believe that they are in Heaven. They were christians I believe and we raised christians. Pastor Charles Lawson spoke of several pastors that committed suicide. I want to believe that they are in Heaven. People reach breaking points.
That's why it's so important that we read The Bible in All its Entirety with an Understanding from The Lord so we won't be easily misled.
One of the Ten Commandments is thou shall Not kill.
So, if this is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
Are we suppose to think that there weren't people who had thoughts of suicide during the Time God had Moses write the Ten Commandments?
Of course Not. And if you remember clearly, in The Book of Numbers and Deuteronomy, God gave Moses instructions for those who accidentally killed someone and the persons family members would seek out revenge, so God gave Moses orders to tell them which towns they can escape to.
Why else would God have Moses give them that land for a quick escape?
It wasn't just so that the person seeking revenge wouldn't commit sin by taking someone's life, but also it was so that the person who was being sought out for revenge would not take their own life out of fear.
Even David before He became King was being hunted down by King Saul.. He was so afraid that he went hiding in a cave, yet he Never took his own life. And this went on for a very long time.
It seemed endless but David Never gave up.
He kept His Faith and Trust in The Lord.
Look at The Book of Job.. Job lost everything. He lost his servants, his land, his house, all his money, he lost all of his livestock.. he even lost his sons and daughters.. they all died in a fire.
Everything.. All gone.. he had Nothing.
His health was declining and he fell into a deep depression and it says in Job 3:21 "Job longed for death" ..
That scripture tells us right there that Job was having thoughts of suicide but deep down inside, he Knew Not to go against God and break His Commandment. Why? Because He Knew that Killing others or yourself is a One Way Ticket to hell.
But Gods Love Conquers All.
Who are we to make that decision to take life, even if it's our own?
Did we create ourselves that we can take our own self out of this world?
No, of course Not. Only God can.
And it says in Job 1:21 right after Job received the terrible news about his children, that he fell to the ground in worship and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.
The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away; may the name of The Lord be praised.”
See that, Job said "The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away" .. Job Never once said "The Lord gives but He has granted us permission to take away"..
No, Job didn't say that.
But now let's take a look at that last line, Job said "may the name of The Lord be praised"..
He said that out of Fear and Reverence for God. He feared The Lord so that is why he Praised God immediately after having negative thoughts.
We are to fear God.. so how are we showing fear of our Lord if we take our own lives?
When you take your own life, it only shows that you didn't put All your trust in Jesus.
But Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30 "Cast your Heavy Burdens on Me and I will Give you Rest. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Jesus said this because He knows the problems of the world can be overwhelming and can cause fear, doubt, stress, anxiety and cause us to lose hope which can lead to suicide but Jesus Never said "you will have troubles in this world that will cause you to doubt Me and you might even take your own life, and I understand.. so I say to you, take your own life if you must"..
No, He Never said that. But what He did say is..
John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
We are to Keep our Eyes on Jesus!!
These scriptures make it very clear that we are Not to take our own lives.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to God, and He will make your paths straight."
It says Submit to Him.. so how are we submitting to Him if we take our own lives.
Hosea 4:6 "My people perish for Lack of Knowledge."
Gods Love Conquers All.
I will gladly keep going if anyone needs me to.
While suicide is wrong, NO, suicide doesn't cause you to lose salvation.
Because Salvation is by faith alone and not works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Salvation is NOT gained or lost based on which commandments you kept or broke.
If suicide causes salvation loss, that means you need to keep the commandment of "thou shalt not kill" to be saved and this is works salvation and turns salvation into a reward.
If salvation is reserved for those who endure hardship without committing suicide, salvation becomes man's achievement.
does a person whom commits murder knowingly have a sorrowful outcome? I would say yes. Mentally sick is one thing and evil is another.
The current state of the world is a living hell. I cannot imagine the biblical hell being much worse.
Oh believe me it's wayyyyyyy worse.
Let us avoid the satanic doctrine of post-trib rapture. The first resurrection has three parts; 1Cor 15: 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end,... Even if I exclude the pretrib resurrection. The first resurrection in Rev 20 isn't the first one in the entire bible. There is a Resurrection in Rev 11.
I would say that they would because they are murdering themselves and murder is one of the 10 commandments. It’s sad but I believe that it’s sin and sin still separates us from GOD and sends us to hell. Grace mercy and forgiveness is only for those that are on earth. Once you die the Bible says you will be judged and go to either heaven or hell. We should pray for those that are suicidal because there minds are under attack and they truly are in so much pain that they believe it’s better if they die.
Only six commandments now declared Jesus
@@rickmitchell363 No there is still 10 commandments we should allow plus the commandments Jesus gave us.
I agree.Also why do you even get a suicidal thoughts when you are leading by the holyspirit.Once you know how much God loves us I don't think anyone would think about taking their own life.Instead they will share god's love with others and live for Christ.Even after knowing the God we serve is a faithful and almighty God.i understand we all go through stress and difficulty in life but that's when we should rely on God more,than taking everything on us.God says put all your burden on me.Thats why you should really know who God is.
The Devil is a liar straight from hell who comes to destroy. Choose life -- the one that the Lord Jesus came to bring. Draw near to the LORD if you're thinking of committing suicide. In no way does He want you to take your own life. I'm not here to say what one's fate is if s/he commits such a thing. Rather, the Lord Jesus can absolutely deliver you. Seek Him! He can heal your wounds, trauma, deliver you and give you a new life. I battled depression for decades and I am free of that bondage and state of mind. I even recall a few times hearing something outside of myself that I should just take my life. It wasn't me. It wasn't the LORD! I'm a witness that if something is telling you to take your life -- it's from the Enemy. Cry out to the Lord Jesus and He will rescue you!! Jump into His Word by reading the Bible and ask the Lord to meet you right there. Go fall prostrate and pour out your soul to Him and lay your burdens at His. Don't give up!!
This has been one of the best videos you have ever posted! For me it’s personal my dad was a believing Christian, but fell into the occult, and then took his life in a state of drunkenness. I’ve always wondered if he made it to heaven and this brought peace to my heart. God bless you Vlad.
That's why it's so important that we read The Bible in All its Entirety with an Understanding from The Lord so we won't be easily misled.
One of the Ten Commandments is thou shall Not kill.
So, if this is part of the Ten Commandments, then why would anyone try and Justify killing in any way, shape or form?
Are we suppose to think that there weren't people who had thoughts of suicide during the Time God had Moses write the Ten Commandments?
Of course Not.
Look at The Book of Job.. Job lost everything. He lost his servants, his land, his house, all his money, he lost all of his livestock.. he even lost his sons and daughters.. they all died in a fire.
Everything.. All gone.. he had Nothing.
His health was declining and he fell into a deep depression and it says in Job 3:21 "Job longed for death" ..
That scripture tells us right there that Job was having thoughts of suicide but deep down inside, he Knew Not to go against God and break His Commandment. Why? Because He Knew that Killing others or yourself is a One Way Ticket to hell.
But Gods Love Conquers All.
Who are we to make that decision to take life, even if it's our own?
Did we create ourselves that we can take our own self out of this world?
No, of course Not. Only God can.
And it says in Job 1:21 right after Job received the terrible news about his children, that he fell to the ground in worship and said:
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.
The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away; may the name of The Lord be praised.”
See that, Job said "The Lord gives and The Lord has taken away" .. Job Never once said "The Lord gives but He has granted us permission to take away"..
No, Job didn't say that.
But now let's take a look at that last line, Job said "may the name of The Lord be praised"..
He said that out of Fear and Reverence for God. He feared The Lord so that is why he Praised God immediately after having negative thoughts.
We are to fear God.. so how are we showing fear of our Lord if we take our own lives?

Then you have unfortunately believed a lie... Sorry about your Dad! But Be Wise, God Does NOT CHANGE!
Believe Jesus! Not The Deceiver Michael Brown! He is a Deceiver! Jesus is God! Believe Everything Jesus Says!
The LORD'S PRAYER is NOT Just a Prayer... The Lord's Prayer is HOW WE NEED TO LIVE, if you want to GO TO HEAVEN!
John 10:27-31 " and my sheep hear my voice and they know me and they follow me, and I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. My Father Who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and my Father are one".
You believe in Jesus? Then believe. You think marc believes a lie? I think jameschupp needs to check his Gospel!
@@jameschupp2230 James, James, james. Watch your mouth. The book of James warns believers about the power of tongues to work evil. Typing fingers are also small and capable of great damage. Read your namesake and read the words of Jesus.
@@Believeandknow-or7bs You are Deceived and you Do NOT Listen to Jesus!
Dr. Michael Brown is Absolutely Wrong. Jesus Said: That even if you had One (1) UNFORGIVENESS toward a Person, and you die, That UNFORGIVING Person Goes To Hell.
I like hell its literally the only reason im alive. I want my pain to stop not to increase in hell. I don't understand why I can't see gods love i never felt it i prayed for signs but i never saw any ... I hope i can find it before i die because i am very afraid of hell
Please stop using the word lost. Your love ones have crossed over from time to eternity… Read, study and most of all pray and the Holy Spirit will guide you…
But what if they are indeed lost? Are you saying we cannot even use the word?

Of course Not. And if you remember clearly, in The Book of Numbers and Deuteronomy, God gave Moses instructions for those who accidentally killed someone and the persons family members would seek out revenge, so God gave Moses orders to tell them which towns they can escape to.
Why else would God have Moses give them that land for a quick escape?
It wasn't just so that the person seeking revenge wouldn't commit sin by taking someone's life, but also it was so that the person who was being sought out for revenge would not take their own life out of fear.
Even David before He became King was being hunted down by King Saul.. He was so afraid that he went hiding in a cave, yet he Never took his own life. And this went on for a very long time.
It seemed endless but David Never gave up.

Regarding on the 2:30 message, I just wanna share that Commiting Suicide is Different to Accident...
So if you are a REAL Christian, then why you will end your life??? Suicide is a choice and will on the person, accident is not a will of the person and its surely the will of the Lord...
No, not all people who commit suicide go to hell. The only sin that is unforgiveable is the rejection of the Holy Spirit.
Incorrect. The Bible says every person who died in there sin, will go to hell. If the person didnt repent of there sins then that person is going to hell.
@@KingMath787 Suicide is a sin, but not the greatest sin which determines one’s eternal destiny. You don’t know with 100% certainty whether someone will go to hell or not. Everyone is not immune to sin at the very end of their lives because as long as we are in this worldly flesh, we will always have the capacity to sin. That’s why I was being precise with my wording “not all people”, as it could be one person out of millions who commit suicide is still being saved. I don’t know, neither do you, only God knows.
@@speedycatz look i dont want to create a discussion or so, but hear me out. How can something that the devil tells/ says to a person, that he must commit suicide and still he will go to Heaven if the devil is the father of lies. How can that make sense, like it doesnt make sense. Everything that satan says is a lie. So i hope u understand what i mean. Peace out🤝
They go to hell period stop.
Yes that is what the word says. I mean to say Only Jesus knows. We need to put this in His hands. We aren't God and boy am I glad. We change our minds so much. Until you have been in that situation you don't know exactly how you feel. I was and I am so thankful Jesus had mercy on me. Because of Jesus I am alive today. He is in my heart. I will take Jesus over and person any day. We need to be reaching others for Jesus instead of Comndening them
The Bible says that no murders will enter into the Kingdom, and suicide is self murder. And the Bible say’s sin leads to death. We must be living holy and deny ourselves pick up our cross and follow Jesus Christ. And call out to Jesus Christ for help. This will make people be okay to do this, the devil is a liar. We must stand on the word of God…. We judge righteous judgment . This is the enemy tactic to make people think that’s the only way during horrible time. Any one dealing with it seek someone to help and let someone to pray for you against this lying spirit. The devil cares about no one!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Need to know this one a friend killed himself few years ago.
My friend suffered schizophrenia and depression after a prolong period of stress, lack of sleep, along with an unhealthy diet high in sugar. Now she has managed the condition very well after seeing a physiatrist, exercise, get healthy diet with good fats and proteins. Above all, God came to her rescue, surrounded her with many good Christians to give her support. Previously a nonbeliever, now she has come out of darkness, is full of faith, strength and vigour for life. In Christ, we are a new creation. don’t give up. Praise and glory be to God.❤🙏🏻👍🏻😊
There is no hell. Only black when you are dead. Just like before you were alive.
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. - Matthew 10:28, Jesus own words. If you are interested here is more. Here are few verses which Jesus Himself told regarding hell from the gospel of Mathew alone, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. - Matthew 10:28, Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. - Matthew 7:19, And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. - Matthew 5:29-30, But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. - Matthew 5:22, But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. - Matthew 8:12, 14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. - 15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. - Matthew 10:14-15, He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. - Matthew 10:39, 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[e] For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.” - Matthew 11:21-24, 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” - Matthew 12:36-37, 40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear. - Matthew 12:40-43, 47 “Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. 48 When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. - Matthew 13:47-50, He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. - Matthew 15:13, 25 For whoever wants to save their life[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? - Matthew 16:25-26, If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell. - Matthew 18:8-9, 43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”[i] - Matthew 21:43-44, And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. - Matthew 25:46
This troubled me today. God's timing is perfect!
Judas killed himself. Jesus said it would have been better if he wasnt even born. If he had asked for forgiveness, he would have been forgiven.
Satan entered Judas and then he killed himself.
Reminds me of when hasatan asked YESHUA JESUS To Cast Himself down & the Angels of GOD wouldn’t let JESUS bruise HIS Footing… What did JESUS Say & Do?!

Yes, God does have the final say in the end, but I believe committing suicide will get you cut off from God. Just look at Judah Iscariot...one has given up hope and faith in God.
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
Satan entered Judas and he hanged himself
Correct! Preach it!
Read the previous 5 verses from 1st Corinthians 3:11-15 where it is clear works are not needed for salvation.
If suicide causes salvation loss, this IS works salvation because keeping commandments would be necessary.
Verses 16-17 talk about those who persecute the Church and God's people. God will avenge His elect.
Salvation is free. Period. It is NOT conditional upon what you do. Otherwise, it becomes a reward we earn by our works.
And no, suicide doesn't result in salvation loss. Anyone who teaches that is teaching works salvation because you would need to keep the commandment of "thou shall not kill" to enter Heaven.
James 2:10 is clear that one sin makes you guilty of all. Suicide is just one sin.
@@palmtreesmusic1945 i never said they were and no it does not mean it's works salvation. The Bible teaches that one can forfeit their salvation by returning to corruption and sin.... 2 Peter 2;20 would be an example of it. You cant just disregard verses because they don't line up with your interpretation of scripture, thats silly and Christians with living faith will always have works. You dont go to Heaven if you kill yourself.
@@andrewlailvaux1571 2nd Peter 2 verse gives the context and talks about false prophets who never were saved and deny the Lord.
If we can forfeit salvation by returning to sin, that is works because Jonah 3:10 is clear that turning away from sin IS works.
And yes, you teach works salvation. If one can lose salvation by killing himself, then keeping commandments would be necessary for salvation.
Salvation is free and works are NOT required. Saving faith is simply believing and you teach believing isn't enough.
If God takes away salvation from believers who aren't good enough, this is works. Period. And salvation becomes a reward for keeping certain commandments rather than a free gift for sinners.
I hope a 13 year old I heard did this is saved. It was a bullying incident. I think and hope that manic state of doing something so irrational is seen by God with deep compassion. My mother’s cousin who died from taking blood pressure drugs cried out for God to save him. 💔They tried to save him but the hospital couldn’t. Suicide is heartbreaking.
I bet you he chose to stay❤
Thank you for posting this video. I am 45 years old, and then I was just a baby. My dad took his own life. I always thought he was in hell. Because that's what I was told as a young child. When you take your life, you go to hell. After hearing this video, only God knows where he is at. I don't know what his state of mind was he was a married man and had an affair with my mom.
Chandra, the evil one seeks to rob us, kill us, and destroy every real trace of us. The evil one destroys families, and the things you mentioned are redolent of curse.

Bring honor to them by honoring God. Showing the world that God is the answer to any and all pains and that he alone is worthy! He is our strength. He is our purpose.
And however the chips fell regarding our daddys' - we will bring honor to their name ✝️
@imjustheresoidontgetfined5269 :
You're calling folks trolls? How does name calling bring Glory to The Kingdom?
Scripture says in Proverbs 21:23 "Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut"..
you are only praising those who agree with what you believe to be true.
Why don't you just Read The Bible?
God didn't give us The Bible so that we can just leave it on the shelf to collect dust.. No, He says Read His Word Daily!!
That is How we become Spirit Led.
@imjustheresoidontgetfined5269 :
You ever thought about how many people commit suicide.. Per Year?
You do realize suicide happens Daily right?
And that includes those who were followers of Jesus Christ.. Jesus said in
Matthew 7:13-14
13 “Enter God’s Kingdom ONLY through The Narrow Gate.
For the ROAD to hell IS BROAD, and its GATE IS WIDE FOR THE MANY WHO CHOOSE THAT WAY.
14 But SMALL IS THE GATE and NARROW IS the Road that LEADS TO LIFE and the Road IS DIFFICULT, and ONLY A FEW WILL EVER FIND IT.
Why else do you think God says in
Hosea 4:6 "My People PERISH for LACK of KNOWLEDGE."
Where do you think Knowledge comes from?
Where do you think Understanding of Gods Word comes from?
It comes from The Holy Spirit.. Jesus tells us in
John 14:26 that the Holy Spirit is our Teacher!! He is our Helper!!
Jesus said in
John 16:13 "The Holy Spirit is The One Who Guides us into All Truth."
Isaiah 11:2 "And The Spirit of The Lord will rest on him-- The Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, The Spirit of Counsel and Might, The Spirit of Knowledge AND the FEAR OF THE LORD."
Do you have a Complete Understanding of What it means to Really FEAR The Lord?..
Yes, God is a God of Love and Compassion BUT He is Also a Just God He is a God of Order.. so there is Order in His courts.
Daniel 5:27 you have been weighed on the balances and have Not measured up.
God will weigh us on a scale.. He will Judge us by All that we have done throughout our lives and All that we Didn't do.
Scriptures tell us that God makes it very clear that He hates Dishonesty and He hates Cheating.. so why are we trying to cheat God of our own Appointed Time?
How is that ok in God's Eyes?
If God is going to let those who kill themselves into Heaven, those who were followers.. then we all as followers might as well just kill ourselves when the going gets tough right?
No! That was Not God's plan.. His word says in
Matthew 24:13 "THE ONE WHO ENDURES TO THE END WILL BE SAVED."
Tell me, How do we ENDURE TO THE END.. if we just take our own life?
Don't just pick and choose what scriptures you want to live by.. we are to Live By ALL of Gods Scriptures.
And we are Not to Twist Gods word to our own liking so that we can be comfortable, No, Jesus Never said that it would be easy.. as a Matter of Fact, He says the total opposite all throughout His teachings.
He even tells us in
John 16:33 to "Take Heart, I have OVERCOME THE WORLD"
Jesus even said in
Matthew 11:28-29 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest."
Then right after that, Jesus says "Let Me TEACH YOU"..
So how is someone Allowing Jesus through The Holy Spirit to Teach them if they just took their own life?
How is someone who has commited suicide giving all their heavy burdens to Jesus if they just took their own life?
Please ask The Lord to Give you Eyes that see and ears that hear so that you will Understand His ways.. for His ways are Higher!!
Isaiah 55:8-9
"For MY THOUGHTS are NOT your thoughts, NEITHER are your ways My ways, DECLARES THE LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN your WAYS and MY THOUGHTS THAN your THOUGHTS."
Matthew 13:15 "For this people’s heart have become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEARTS AND TURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM."
The soul is immortal, and God ‘s mercy and love are eternal.
Reincarnation is real. The soul gets innumerable chances to balance out imbalances
Ultimately, we are working our way back to our original pure state.
There are innumerable resources to stories about communication with the spirits of those who have taken their lives and who give an account of their existence and lessons learned while in the spirit realm.
These types of conversations are based on religious teachings from ancient times when people’s concepts of God were immature.
Thank you❤
Murder is sin.
Self murder is sin.
The Bible is clear, You shall not commit murder.
