Best Answer

The Bible is vague on this, but for centuries, certain Christian faiths treated suicide as a sin and some religious people believed it would disqualify you from going to Heaven. However, these days, many Christian clergy are more tolerant and understanding, and not everyone agrees that a person who committed suicide will be prevented from entering Heaven. Further, science has demonstrated conclusively that severe depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and the person who feels suicidal is suffering from an illness, rather committing a sin.

So, first, if you feel suicidal, we hope you will contact a suicide prevention hotline or see a doctor; your condition is treatable and your life really is worth saving. But second, the Bible says that God is loving and forgiving, so it is up to Him (not us) who goes to Heaven and who does not. I doubt a good person who made a fatal decision while in the grip of depression would be barred from Heaven.

The christian life is better because if you are a christian you have a better chance of going to heaven to have eternal life with god. if you are a christian it means you believe that gods one and only son, Jesus, came from heaven down to earth to die on the cross at Easter time. he died for us to take away our sinful nature. however, we are not out of the clear there. to go to heaven and have eternal life with god we must BELIEVE that Jesus died for our sins.

Who sings the song Welcome Home?

Dutton. They are THE BEST BAND EVER! I herd them at my youth group conference called Planet Wisdom. It is really the best experience ever. I am a christian but after Planet Wisdom, my life was changed! I feel even closer to the one, true God. I am now a stronger christian. If you want to be a christian but do not know how, do this: fold your hands and say something like "Dear God, I am so sorry for all of my sins. Please forgive me of them and come into my life. I want to live my life for you and obey you. I know that I am a sinner, but you died to take my sins away and I want to live eternally with you in heaven. Amen" If you do this, it means that when you die, you will go to heaven and live eternally with God. If you read this, and become a christian, I hope you will go out and buy a Bible, go to church, and that you will see me in heaven.

Does reproduction of life take place in heaven?

It depends on your theology. Virtually no mainstream Christian sects include this idea in their concepts of heaven. There would be no need. Mormons, however, teach that couples married in the Mormon Temple will become god and goddess of their own world one day, and will people their world with their offspring. There may be other religions that have similar ideas.

Why would you be in hell?

Well, if you take what a good number of Christian ministers say, they seem to expect that even 95% of believers are headed there, because they'll fall short of the expectations expected to gain entry into Heaven. So I guess you could say for being human.
