I think the mystery here for me is why this would be a news story. Of course I would comfort anyone whom was going into God’s arms through death, be it suicide or not. Do I believe that I’ll be the last comfort they’ll have if they commit suicide? Absolutely. I’m very sorry that their selfishness will condemn them to hell.

It is God’s choice when you die, not yours, not the doctor’s, and certainly no the insurance company’s. I can also respect and hope God forgives their refusal of resuscitation and life support. But to me, that also is a form of suicide. I hope I’m wrong, as the idea of a robot preserving my life rather than my body also terrifies me. But if the Lord sends a life boat, it is our duty to step aboard.

Well put.

Could I have the Scripture that states a person who commits suicide is condemned to he’ll by God? Thank you

Would you comfort a woman undergoing the voluntary abortion of her baby?

Both abortion and suicide are acts of murder.
