Do you think that EVERYONE who commits suicide AUTOMATICALLY goes to HELL?
Do you think GOD uses a " One Size Fits All " style of judgement?
I have been thinking of the lead singer of Boston, and that comedian who both recently commited suicide. Do you think they are now in HELL for eternity? One was mentally ill and had a chemical imbalance which made it impossible for him to be happy. The other? He might have had similar issues.
Elderly neighbors from when I lived in the country commited suicide. They were both in their late 70's, a married couple. The wife had terminal cancer, and the husband, who was taking care of her at home, was out of money and had diabetes and a bad heart condition. He shot his wife first, then himself. They both left notes to their children - a son and a daughter, both well into their 40's- explaining how they were tired and decided it was time to check out now.
I don't believe for a second that GOD would have manifested himself to the couple as a 50 foot angry giant when he was judging them, and would have sent them to HELL because they commited suicide - murder. They were old. They were sick. They had heavy duty financial problems. I would expect that The Almighty One would have much compassion, and be very understanding.
Now, in the case of that asshole who blew himself and his ex girlfriend up with a bomb in an elevator.. I am certain that man is Hell bound. He and her were both young..in their early 20's.... and the man KILLED her. She had a young son who is now an orphan.
I know there is NO way to be sure, but I believe that GOD would judge each of us on a case by case basis.. as individuals. He cannot be expected to adhere to man's view's or opinions, as he is a superior being.
What do you think on this subject?
