is suicide sinful?

[babypanda]

I say yes

 

[SuperTool]

No, it isn't automatically a sin. A lot of suicides are a result of mental illness, and I don't think being sick is a sin.

Why don;t you kill yourself, ask God what he thinks about it, and post the true answer......j/k

 

[Judgement]

IMO it depends on the situation. Its not clear cut as right or ring to me, just like abortion.

 

[Eli]

There is no sin.

Only ZOOOOOOL!

I don't know if you have a god or not...if you are acknowledging sin you'd have to though.

The main problem with man is that he tries to think of rules from his own point of view, which unfortunately is often different than what god (and the law for non-secular stuff) says.

The story of Jesus, whether you believe in him or not, states that he was not allowed an early out to his pain and torture even though it was to be the worse ever known to man.

Hell if a criminal plays his crying card well enough there is enough people that will come forward to say "he feels sorry for raping then burning alive those 10 or so children, lets just let him go and give him another chance."

We have already sinned after we were born, I don't think it would get any worse

Read "life after life".

Sinful? I don't know, but after reading that book and it's sequel "reflections on life after life" I would never do myself in...

I am running out of steam but this thread brings up intersting things and should help people to think twice about suicide. Trust me, it's very sinful whether it is intentional or not.

You need to add one more option in the poll:

"Yes, it's sinful. But if you're saved, you will still go to heaven because Jesus covers *all* sins ... even suicide."

Though it's sad to even think about killing yourself, it's not the unforgiveable sin.

Made me think of the movie "What Dreams May Come" Good flick, thought it was underated.
