    If you're Christian and commit suicide; you go to Hell and are ripped apart time and time again.

    Well people it's like this. This is Satan's world. If people had Yahweh's Spirit in them, which no one does today, people would not even think of killing themselves. Yahweh says man worships the created and not the Creator, which is true.

    The following verses refer to suicides in the Bible. I Samuel 31:4-5; II Samuel 17:23; I Kings 16:18; Matthew 27:5 & Acts 1:18.
    I believe that someone who commits suicide is not in their right mind. They have lost all sense of reality and lost all hope. They no longer have the will to fight. They feel the only way out is to take their own life. Given this circumstance, I believe that God does not condemn this person.

    The Bible states that anyone that comitts suicide or kills themselves will be forever tortured in "Hell".

    1st Corinthians: 3/17... ..." "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are"...We are the body of Christ...to kill oneself would be killing God...You couldn't ask forgiveness for your crime...

    What Albert Rogers says is crap. He obviously wants to impress people so he writes his garbage. He should post his OPINION as just an OPINION. This quote I posted says if you defile your body, your are defiling God,-your body is the temple of God. Suicide is about as defiling as you can get.
    You people do your own research before you thumbs up people like this.

    Suicide is not discussed specifically in what I've read other than when Saul fell on his blade.
    The idea that suicide will send you straight to hell comes from the Catholic church. The same church that stems from the government that persecuted, crucified and beheaded the early Christians for not worshipping their king.
    The same church that introduced all the pagan practices into Christianity that persist today. Including praying in front of idols, speaking in tongues, and is now putting RFID chips in its clergy.

    I believe God is both Just and Merciful. I believe He understands the condition of our hearts and souls far better than any of us can. I believe most people who commit suicide are tormented souls trying to end the pain and suffering they are experiencing. I hope and pray His Mercy will be shown to your sister and that she is indeed in God's loving arms.

    I honestly don't know. Some people say you will go to Hell and others say that you can still get into Heaven. I guess you would have to take it up with God for the true answer.

    According to the bible it is a sin. However so much has changed since biblical times, today circumstances can determine what taking your own life would be considered sinful in the eyes of G-D.

    If the 5th Commandment is to be believed at face value, then suicide is in effect "killing", someone, albiet yourself. But God is also merciful to those who are sick of mind. And let's face it, anyone driven to kill themselves must be unbalanced and ill. I know this from personal experience as my younger brother shot himself in the head and killed himself a year ago. My father is worried that he will burn in hell, but I think God will have mercy, because my brother was definitely messed up in the head through no fault of his own.

    Being a Devout Catholic I only use the Catholic Bible which has 7 more chapters
    that Protestants omit. I will give the best to answer in what Jesus said Himself:
    1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; [20] you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."
    1 Corinthians 3:16-17 [16]Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? [17] If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God&'s temple is sacred, and you are that temple."
    Foe me and only me, this is my belief

    Nothing direct. (And in fact, the Sixth Commandment really reads "No murder." But some might say that suicide is self-murder, hence "covered."

    The proper thing to do is to remember that, no matter how bad it gets, God will either help you through it, or show you the way out.

    JMHO! Its a big time no no; however, I believe that God knows what we go thru, and he knows when we reach a point that we can no longer deal with the earthly pressures and would understand if one chose to take this path. Its not one I would ever take, not that I didn't try once as a teen, but it just seems to me that God knows what's in our hearts and where our breaking point is so surely in his mercy he would forgive us for being human and unable to deal with everything. And that understanding would be there up to and including the passing of spirit to the other side.

    Having read the big book of nonsense several times, it says nothing specifically about "suicide". But it does say not to murder or kill (depending on which version you happen to have). In fact, it's so important, that it's number 6 on the list of "thou shalt nots". So, taking that to its assumed conclusion (which is about all you can do with such a book...assume), killing yourself would be murder of self, and considered a sin.

    If it's such nonsense, why have you read it several times? And it's the Fifth commandment, not sixth. How many times did you read this book?

    Ammunition against you idiots.

    Commandment 1. no god before me
    Commandment 2. no graven images
    Commandment 3. no taking gods name in vain
    Commandment 4. remember the sabbath
    Commandment 5 honor thy father and mother

    Commandment Number 6, the one you're so sure of was number 5. thou shall not kill.

    Perhaps you should read your own big book of nonsense at least once.

    The Bible doesn't specifically address suicide. However...
    Suicide = self murder.
    God has commanded us not to murder.
    Further, Christians are told to treat our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Suicide would be a rather direct harm to that temple.
    I've seen comments here (and heard teachings elsewhere) that suicide is an "unforgivable sin. This is absolutely false. The only unforgivable sin is to reject Christ all the way to the point of death. (Once you are dead, it is too late to accept His grace.) If you are a Christian, suicide does not void your Salvation. (Nothing can.)
