    Suicide In The Bible

    • 1026 Words
    • 5 Pages

    On the contrary‚ some verses in the Bible appear to support the idea that Christians who commit suicide go to hell. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (ESV) discusses the fact that a person’s body belongs to God and that anyone who destroys it will be destroyed themselves.
