Did Wrestler Chris Benoit' Condemn Himself To Hell

IMO, suicide is telling God that you hold yourself higher than Him. You think your idea of your date of death is better than what HIS date of your death is, so, you kill yourself.
You are also worshipping yourself above God, by rejecting any other way out God may provide, other than suicide.
To ME, suicide is kind of like abortion. A sin, both.
Also, in suicide, you aren't seeking God earnestly, you are not doing what Scripture says to do in hard situations, and you are letting your emotions control you, rather than you controlling your emotions. You aren't believing God has the right answer.
You think only YOU know the right thing to do.

God has never condoned suicide, nor has He condoned abortion.

Plus, those drugs Benoit was taking can do a terrible number on your mind.
Drugs, all kinds of them, should be taken carefully, and only in the dose that's recommended. Side effects should be reported immediately to the prescribing physician, and if Benoit's doctor was a quack, Benoit should have asked Jesus to show him a better doctor, and a better path to take.

DOn't steroids make a person aggressive and violent, beside build muscle?

OK, Lets put this a different way....Take the most Godliest person you know..The person who has produced the most fruit and has done the most for the kingdom of God...A person who has been a great influence not only in your Life and the life of others....A person who exhibited the all the fruit of the spirit...A person who you know is born again....

Now suppose this person one day has a stroke, car accident, was prescribed bad medication, etc...Now suppose this person ended up not being ''all there''...
That this person was now mentally incapacitated....

Suppose this person one day Lost it and in a rage killed his familiy and himself...
Would this Person be condemned to hell???????
Did this person loose his salvation?????

Good viewpoint. IF a doctor wrongly prescribes a pill, or shot, and it temporarily incapacitates the person, and the person doesn't know enough to reject that doctor and that drug, I don't think that person is responsible for what they do.
I DO KNOW though, that God ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS provides a way of escape, that's better than suicide.
God is not the destroyer of life, the devil is.
It's a tough situation to be in, on the one hand, trusting your doctor, and on the other hand, being prescribed the wrong medication and dealing with terrible side effects.
Seems to me some doctors are just pill pushers, so they can get money from the pharmaceutical company.
If you are NOT yourself, due to drugs you weren't responsible for taking, you are not responsible for the outcome.
IF you have enough sense to see that something has gone terribly wrong with your mental faculties, but you won't seek help elsewhere, then you do have a responsibility.
God always provides a way out. And it ain't suicide or murder, or abortion.

I think we could probably all agree that a person who is capable of slaughtering his wife and child probably lacks in the area of Fruits of the Spirit.

I don't know this mans heart before God and I certainly am glad that I am not the one who has to judge but we are left with knowing him by his fruits.

probably lacks in the area of Fruits of the Spirit.

You also are lacking! But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Gentleness comes to mind.
I'm glad you aren't the judge, either. I'm glad I"m not the judge. In my earlier, immature years, I wanted, like one of the apostles, to have the bad guys hit by lightning. Seemed fair at the time. But, as I said, I lacked experience and maturity and longsuffering.

Not sure why you are having a fit but you obviously just jumped to conclusions about what I was posting. Try not to do that. It is silly.
 
Getting away from the suicide debate and back to the CSI aspect of this crime, who's to say that this was a murder suicide?

Please explain to me how and why someone in a crime of passion ties up their loved one unless they are going to make it look like a 'burglar'. If that is the case, why hang himself?

Seems strange to do to begin with, never mind someone who suffers from 'roid rage'.

Something seems a little hinky.

Perhaps it would be prudent to wait for the results of the investigation
