I am sick of sinning in this life and want to quit sin for good. I am offered two options by well meaning people:
1. Accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior
2. Suicide
Of these two options, which one is more guaranteed to save me from sinning anymore in this life?

You mean to say that Jesus is not powerful enough to save me from sin in THIS life?

What well-meaning person would give suicide as a option?? That's sick. Also, you can accept Jesus as your savior, and it still doesn't mean you will quit sinning. We'll never be perfect, we'll always make mistakes, slip up and do/say something wrong. Just ask for God's forgiveness sincerely, and his help for you to keep away from the sin. NEITHER option is a guarantee.

Neither.
How you live your life is down to how you behave and what your values and morals are. Becoming Christian won't help. It will only underline the sins you are committing and find many many others.
Since suicide is a really big sin that won't help either will it.
If you really want to stop sinning.
First get a clear idea what you think these sins are.
A lot will not be sin but simple human nature.
Talk to someone who is sensible and can discuss this in a non religious non judgemental way.
Formulate YOUR OWN moral code and set about building it into your life as best you can.
Remember no one is without sin - not even the religious zealots!

If people committed suicide to avoid sinning there would be no one left here on Earth. You can't avoid sin but you can be forgiven by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Accepting the Lord will make you try a lot harder not to sin. To answer your other question, yes the Lord is powerful enough to stop us from sinning but he chose to give us free will so we can make our own choices and not be puppets. Do you want to be a puppet or live your our life? But, we were born into sin. Sin is human nature. To say I would to quit sinning is to say I want to quit thinking. Suicide is a sin so it doesn't make sense to say I want to quit sinning and committ a sin in order to stop that's a contradiction.

Supposedly SUICIDE IS A SIN...so if you choose it you sin! and die!
Accepting Christ will NOT guarantee you to be saved, because there is no real proof he was real or a savior.
So there is no guarantee you will stop sinning if you pick either one...
Who ever told you those things was stupid or on drugs!
IF you kill yourself you come back and start over again and who is to say you would not sin allover again!
IF you do believe in SIN that is or in god!
The best way to REALLY stop sinning is to stop believing IN sin.
Of course there are laws to follow and if you break them you go to jail or prison which is like HELL on EARTH.
IF you believe in HELL that is.
It is best to just stop believing in SIN that way you cannot sin because it does not exist!
ONE thing to believe in is KARMA or the THREE FOLD LAW...
either one or both.
Do not harm anyone or try to change them or take control over them and no harm will come to you...
IF you do harm someone IT will come back three fold.
NOW that does not mean if you are a good person and go walking on the freeway that you will be safe, you must do all you can to live a good life and that means taking care of yourself too!
"I am offered two options by well meaning people"
WELL MEANING PEOPLE??? RUBBISH!

NO i don't think so ..... that can not be your only two choices.... 1 I love Jesus but I don't accept him as my Lord and Savior,,,, and 2 sh.it there's to much to life to end it! So what i say is number 2 is out.... number 1 is a lie. Even though i believe in Jesus (not what the bible says.) I'm not a Christian so I take it that's what your leaning for........ so do what you like. Have fun.O and if you chose number 2. don't worry your not going to h.ell because h.ell is also a lie. Just do it swift because i have heard that it hurts.
Good luck. And If i were you i'd come up with new options.

Jesus overcame sin for us. In my flesh dwelleth no good thing the Bible says. I am being changed from "glory to glory' as I yield my sinful ways to God. It is a process. 30 years ago I fought a battle with cigarettes. 5 years ago I fought a battle with alcohol. I will continue to fight battles with my flesh. It would be wrong to surrender to sin. But my victories do not come all at once. I fight the battles and God gives me the victories one at a time. Suicide is never an answer it is the worst failure that can happen. The worse my sins are the more of a testimony I have when I overcome and am able to turn and help others who are still ensnared. That is victory. What the "devil meant for evil God uses for good."

Neither. Accepting Jesus does not stop you from sinning and commiting suicide is a sin that will put you in hell where you have no release. The only way to stop sinning is to take control of your life and exert a little willpower and common sense in the choices you make.

Well, being that suicide is a sin in itself, you're only option would be choice 1. Also, just accepting or praying Jesus into your heart is not actually Biblical. You have to carry the cross and follow him DAILY. Luke 9:22-26.
