God know we are dirt and i have every confidence He is able to sort it all out. I think the thought of suicide and death just scares the living daylight out of some people and harsh judgment is an emotional over- reaction. I pray for all eyes to see and ears to hear the Truth of God's Word...🕯

Empathetic & enlightened. Thank you. I am taught that if I believe in Christ I am saved. There are no what ifs.
I have this friend...who has carried the weight of real chronic medically diagnosed depression for five decades. Only Christ can understand that suffering.

I fought with my sister one night and I felt a sudden abandonment by God.
My relationship with her has not improved.
She makes me want to kill myself, she does not care that I cut and starve myself, she is forever stalking and judging and isolating me and it's getting too much.
I'm sad that God, like everybody else, has chosen to side with her, despite her being a horrible person.

This is a very weird solution to the act of destroying yourself as a result of any condition, the fact here is that when you kill yourself this is the only act does not give you time to repent of this sin it is an act where you cancel by yourself your own glory to God. Your own temple. And also this answer open the door to conceive this solution to the be the only one denying your trust in God.

Yes suicide is mentioned in the Bible thou shall not murder. Murder is a sin

I am not agree !!!
I you don't ask for forgiveness you can't be saved! After suicide you can't confess your sub anymore...
I the same way someone who commit murder and doesn't asked for forgiveness eventhough he is a Christian will not be saved!

1CORINTHIANS 6:19+20, ”KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YOU HAVE OF GOD AND YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN ?FOR YOU ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE, THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY AND YOUR SPIRIT WHICH ARE GOD’S !
We will be held accountable for what happens to our body due to our neglect, or intentional damage to it or willful termination of your life !

YES THERE IS! READ THE BIBLE! 1 Corinthians 3:17 “IF ANY MAN DESTROY THE TEMPLE OF GOD, HIM WILL GOD DESTROY”you people are leading people astray, and you will pay for it.
