Suicide in Heaven

Dear Victorious,

So if God could feasibly forgive homosexuality (which you said the other day), what about suicide? Could someone who commits suicide still end up in heaven?

Dear Donald,

Of course God can forgive suicide. You have to remember that Jesus died for our sins --- before we committed any of them! So He died to forgive our sins past, present and future. God already decided what He would do about our sin - if only we would turn to Him and believe on His Son. People who commit suicide are incredibly ill emotionally and perhaps even mentally. Their thinking is flawed and they are believing lies. But that does not mean that they could not belong to God. The criteria for getting into heaven is the result of God's judgment on our lives, our heart and our intent. I fully expect to see some suicide victims in heaven.
