I believe the soul of one who takes their own life is in eternal torment. That person will not go to heaven. Am I right? Or wrong? It's just my understanding.
I want to know what the scriptures say. I have an atheist friend who says how can God, if he exists, and who is a loving God, possibly condemn a person to eternal damnation because they were in such pain they chose suicide? I replied that the person condemned themselves. God does not punish, people punish themselves. Am I right?
So, to settle the argument, what is the teaching of the Bible on suicide and the fate of said souls please?
