And what would happen to you if you did do it to yourself?

yes, corey. you're still killing something, just that something happens to be yourself. if you killed yourself, you would be buried and lay in the dirt waiting for God's judgement day. Only then, will you be judged on the occurences in your life. then, it is fully up to God where you go.

Yes. Many believe that would automatically exclude you from "inheriting God's Kingdom."
But the Bible shows that God has had mercy on people who've commited a number of sins. It seems that their heartfelt repentance made them acceptable to God.
Example: Acts 9:1 - Saul hated anyone who followed Christ and did what he could to stop them. Later he had an experience and ended up becoming a follower and minister. (Acts 12:25) and Acts 13:4 says they were sent out by the holy spirit so you know he had God's backing at that time.
The point is that God is the only one that can see into our hearts. Only he can discern who will be forgiven and who won't.

Indeed the Bible says Thou shall not murder. Meaning that God commands us to not hurt or harm another human being. But Jesus said that if you have hatred in your heart against another, that you have committed that sin. But God will forgive you, if you have ever committed that sin. But what there are two sins I've found in the Bible that can never be forgiven. Blaspheme against the Holy Ghost or suicide. God cannot, will not, and chose not to forgive those sins.

By killing you are really breaking 2 commandments. The first and most important is putting yourself in God's place, as giver and taker of all life.
So killing yourself is the ultimate slap in God's face. You're really saying "I say when and I say how" to God Almighty.
I think you can imagine what comes next if that is the last thing you do......

Yes, it includes yourself.
Most of the older laws are based on stuff from the Bible: Murder, Adultry, Theft. It is illegal to commit suicide as the bible says not to.
If you did it to yourself, you would be dead. You would have broken one of the 10 Commandments (Leviticus 26 I think), so would be exiled to Hell.
You could give it a try if you don't beleive me.

i believe it applies to oneself also.
Besides that, in the NT it states that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and also that you are not your own...
Therefor, you'd be destroying "God's Property" if you committed suicide.
"If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple." 1 Corinthians 3:17
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;" 1 Corinthians 6:19
I can't answer your second part of your question. Only God knows for sure what would happen IF you did committ suicide. I wouldn't venture to find out though --- 1 Cor. 3:17 is a big enough deterrent for that...Afterall, this earthly life is just a transition for eternity...Why mess up eternity, and risk God's eternal punishment??

specific it does comprise killing your self. Killing and homicide at the instant are not suitable skill of habit and this is the only commandment that enables the governing physique of a u . s . or state to hold "judgment down and execute those that achieve this". Then one would desire to stand judgment of the utmost Order. One won't in basic terms be choose by his very own, yet by God.

Yes it does. What would happen really depends on whether you're a Christian or not-dying results in either Heaven (if you're a Christian)or Hell(If you're not). It is a highly debated subject as to whether or not a Christian who suicides will go to heaven. Simple solution to the problem would be this-don't suicide.

If you kill yourself you have to start the cycle all over again, without the advantage of knowing what you know now.
Do you REALLY want to have to go through all of that AGAIN? Not I.

The japanese believed in the Hari Kari, a type of courageous suicide. But most religions tend to frown on suicide, although for some belief systems, self-mutilation is quite acceptable.
