Is suicide always a sin?

Heather Grey said:

All murder is killing, but NOT all killing is murder; such as in capital punishment. Thus, how can we say all "suicide" is murder and that it's never a "justified killing"?

Furthermore, as another poster pointed out, suicide is NOT the "unforgivable sin". You said, "you can't 'repent' after suicide". Well, if you died a natural death right now, HOW many "un-repented sins" would you have on your slate? Huh? No one can remember every sin they committed in order to "ask forgiveness". Also, it isn't the "asking forgiveness" that gets on Saved in the first place.

"Whosoever believeth in me shall not perish...". I'm sure there are plenty of people that committed suicide that truly believed in Jesus; but in a moment of despair, they "gave up". No human is immune to the weaknesses of the flesh. We ALL remain sinners until we die. NO exceptions.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

The ONLY unforgivable sin is: if a person dies and has not become a child of Jesus. It's that simple. He paid the price for all other sins. If this was not the case, then Jesus died in vain and we'd ALL go to hell.

No disrespect, but you did NOT answer my question. All you did was quote a couple scriptures of which I referred to in my question.

I will not read any further responses from you. You're a typical person who thinks you're the "expert" and everyone else is "beneath you".

Thank you. I'm so sorry to hear about your son. Unfortunately, I understand all too well. I live every day on the verge of "stringing up a rope".

May Jesus continue to give you the comfort and peace you need to deal with your losses.
