Is suicide forgivable by the bible?

No it is considered as an extremely selfish act.

AnswerYes, of course. All sin is forgivable by God. Jesus makes this very clear. Apart from a sin 'against the Holy Spirit'(ie denying God throughout one's entire life) all sin is forgivable.

But that is supposing suicide is a sin in the first place, which most Christians believe it isn't. Nor is there any case of suicide in The Bible - except for that of Judas Iscariot, who was so remorseful after betraying Jesus that he diid the only 'decent' thing he could.

Suicide is the end result of a person so sick in mind or spirit that he feels the only way out is inevitable. We would not class a terminally ill patient as 'sinful' when he has, say, liver cancer that cannot be cured. In the same way any suicide victim is terminally ill - with the illness not directed towards his liver or any other organ, but to his very personality and consciousness. And to die from this is certainly not a sin.

To suggest that suicide is a 'selfish act' is not just wrong, but objectionable and insensitive. While it may be SEEN as 'selfish' in that the victim takes his own life with presumably little regard for others' feelings, the mind of the suicide victim will be so disturbed that rational thought is no longer present.

Those around him may well not understand this, but God will. God is a God of love and forgiveness, and, while our lives are given to us by God, and we are to cherish them, he knows the secrets of our hearts. He will understand if that life, though external circumstances, becomes so unbearable, the only thing someone can do is to give it back to the God who gave it in the first place.
