1 | What does the Bible say about suicide? | Ex 20:13 | DearEli | 169562 | ||
Topic: Suicide I was always taught as a child that suicide was an unforgiveable sin, however, I can't find that in the scriptures anywhere. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? |

2 | What does the Bible say about suicide? | Ex 20:13 | mark d seyler | 169563 | ||
Dear Eli, The Bible says (Ex 20:13) "You shall not murder." so we know of course that suicide, self-murder, is a sin. But nowhere does the Bible say that it is an unforgivable sin. Matt 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven." There is only this one sin that shall not be forgiven, and this is not suicide. Please forgive my asking, are you thinking about committing suicide? If you are, I would like to pray for you, and just share God's love with you. Love in Christ, Mark |

3 | What does the Bible say about suicide? | Ex 20:13 | DearEli | 169564 | ||
Dear Mark: Thank you so very much for your concern and please forgive me for not being clear in my inquiry. I am doing this research because of an assignment given in my small group Bible Study. I have accepted Christ as my personal saviour and would never consider such a thing as to take my own life. God's love and grace is more than abundant. With that said, I always welcome prayer for me and my family. Again, forgive me if I caused you concern. In Christ, Elizabeth |

4 | What does the Bible say about suicide? | Ex 20:13 | mark d seyler | 169567 | ||
Dear Elizabeth, You sound like one who is filled with the Lord, and how wonderful that is! And no apology needed, I just wanted to be sure you were ok. A wise man once told me that anytime someone is talking about suicide, even just for information, it's a good thing to ask if they are thinking about it. Welcome to the forum! I hope you stick around. Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark, The questions oft most regreted are the ones we fail to ask. I honestly believe that if we are to reach people,lost and saved alike we've gotta be willing to ask the hard questions. It only hurts for awhile and we do have the greatest healer ever in our corner. Love ya buddy, lionheart |
