Kayla Stoecklein, widow of late Inland Hills Church Lead Pastor Andrew Stoecklein, who died after attempting suicide at his church last month, says she is confident her husband is in Heaven despite the enduring “myth” that suicide victims are condemned to Hell. “This is a common misbelief about suicide and it breaks my heart. I’ll be the first to admit prior to Andrew’s death I may have actually believed it to
be true,” Kayla, 29, wrote on her family’s God’s Got This blog Tuesday. “I remember leaning over to my mother in law, Carol, in the hospital room as my husband lay there dying, whispering through my tears, ‘Will he go to heaven?’ She quickly reassured me, as I am confident now: whether you are accepted into heaven or not has nothing to do with how you die. The only way we are accepted into heaven is through a personal relationship with Jesus,” she said. CONTINUE
No what the opinions of those who are alongside you, the word is the truth, to take a life whether it be yours or someone else’s makes no different, a muderer has no access to eternal life period, unless he repents and turns from his sin. And for those who believe certain sins are ok, and others aren’t better Reread the word of God, because my bible is clear that all sin is evil before God.
The bible says in 1 Peter 4:18 KJVS
[18] And if the righteous SCARCELY be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
It is a fearful thing to proclaim truth out of opinions.
Narrow is the way that leads unto eternal life, AND FEW THAT BE THAT FIND IT!!
OKAY, “BELIEVERS in this case, we are all longing for that day, when we are in the presence of the LORD isn’t it. So why don’t we all take our lives so that we can be with the LORD. This world is too crazy to even spend one day on it as a believer….” Imagine just posting this comment here for every reader to see. What if someone thinks that this is a good idea and commits suicide, because a church leader says it does not matter how you die. What will be the repercussions be in Heaven considering that I will be accountable for every word I say in the day of judgement (Matt. 12:36). Will I not be held accountable for a/the word(s) that encouraged even one individual to make an act considered sinful and if unrepentant, the doer cannot enter/ inherit the kingdom of YAHWEH? Lets make an example, Judas betrayed Jesus, he felt sorry (that’s remorse, a sign of repentance), he returned the silver he sold Jesus for, but he committed suicide. So does this mean that he also inherited Heaven? I read one article, where the writer said Jeremiah has “suicidal thoughts”. I beg to differ, asking God to take your life is not the same as thinking to kill yourself. To ask from a Life-giver to take what is His (life), it’s not the same as thinking to take matters in your own hands and end your own life. This is a sign of people who have created another god, the god whose word changes according to the feelings of man, the god whose word is just suggestions and not absolute.
BLASPHEME!!! So, you are NOT BELIEVING GOD ALMIGHTY”S WORDS OVER YOUR OWN!! REPENT!!! HE IS BURNING IN HELL!!! HE MADE HIS OWN CHOICES!!! As we all do. SAD!!! That People can NOT see the TRUTH when its right IN FRONT OF THEM. ~
Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV)
8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” AFTER ALL, IF YOU ARE saved and destroy yourself. GOD WILL DESTROY YOU.
~1 Corinthians 3:16-17
“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”
IF you are NOT saved.. you are condemned already. For our thinking is so much less than Gods. ( Isaiah 55:8-9)
~John 3:18 (NKJV)
18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
