Welcome to the forum.
May God Bless you abundantly.
A persons bodily death is inevitable.
IF the person was Saved; his soul is saved.
If the person was Not Saved; his soul will eventually be destroyed.
God Bless,

Welcome PWS. I'm sure you meant "soul", and no, God does not destroy souls (as in annihilate them).Doe's 1st Corinithians 3:16-17, mean that if a Christian takes their own life, God Will destroy their sole?
To perish is a loss of well being, rather than a loss of being.Welcome PWS. I'm sure you meant "soul", and no, God does not destroy souls (as in annihilate them).
"Destroy" in this verse means to destroy the body, either through disease or premature death (assuming the man is saved) -- To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, [body] that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.(1 Cor 5:5)
This passage is not about suicide. Only God knows who is saved and who is not, and even though suicide is a very grievous sin, those who have been saved were saved by grace through faith. Christians can and do sin, but that does not mean that they lose their salvation. However it affects their fellowship with God and Christ.Because 1st Corinithians 3:16-17 doesn't justify this.. and I can't find anywhere in scripture that says if a believer is saved but then takes their own life they are still saved.
The passage is about the sin unto death -- premature death (although that would be the extreme).To perish is a loss of well being, rather than a loss of being.
Do you think it means a sin, the effects of which are felt until the point of death?The passage is about the sin unto death -- premature death (although that would be the extreme).
So if a Christian is saved by faith in Christ, but takes their own life.. they are still saved?

If a person was not truly converted, then s/he was never truly converted in the first place.Can you find anywhere in Scripture whereby a man is Converted and then NOT Converted?

Philippians 1.6Can you give us a scripture verse or verses for this ? Thanks.
Philippians 1.6
When God truly converts, a work in the heart begins and continues until the day of Jesus Christ.Can you explain how you can see by -
Phil 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
Is showing that a person wasn't really converted in the first place!!
Ref @Taken 's quote in post #16?
Your answer to her question was...
"If a person was not truly converted, then s/he was never truly converted in the first place."
I am getting a bit confused here.
