The Triangle Factory Fire Of 1911

Please show a scriptural basis for your belief that suicide is unpardonable and is an automatic ticket to Hell.

 

How do you reconcile that with Romans 8:38,39?

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Can a believer, who is part of creation, separate himself from the love of Our Lord? I do not think so.

 

First, I do not believe that suicide will send a saved person to Hell. Outside that, this particular instance is not suicide. It is simply choosing whether to die of sudden massive blunt force trauma or whether to die by being consumed by fire.

 

So Paul, author of most of the New Testament, is not going to Heaven? Oh-oh...

 

That's what I was hoping you'd say.

 

If the man existed at all, why do you assert that it "must" have been a supernatural figure?

This is terrible theology since it means that anyone who dies with unrepented sin in their lives will face destruction. That's salvation by moral purity, not the grace of God. In other words, Jesus only gave us a bath, but if we get dirty again, we're on our own.

People commit suicide when they feel they cannot endure facing another day or moment. There's a myriad of reasons for that, including mental illness, that even true Christians may struggle with.

Circular reasoning.

 

What proof is there that a fallen angel in fact did this?

 

I have heard that before, but it was a sensationalist television program that used it as a teaser. I'm sure someone somewhere claimed that, but I am quite skeptical. It has the sound of an urban legend to me.

 

What proof do you have that the man was a fallen angel? Please avoid circular logic in providing this proof.
