Because suicide=murder and murder=sin, and God is the only one who has the authority to take away life; it is no one else's responsibility.

You do not go to heaven if you commit suicide for sure. If one takes their own life before your actual time is up then you will become a ghost ( a disembodied soul which is suffering more than before you where in a body. Why? Because you now have no senses to enjoy and no one pays attention to you and you are in the same misery you where in at the moment of death. So YOU are the soul and the soul is eternal and the body is temporary. But you have a destiny and that is up to God when this life ends. Don't think you will go to heaven if you take your own life leave that up to God when your death is. Go to www.essene.org and www.stephen-knapp.com for universal truths.

A couple of weeks ago I was very depressed. I had some pills in my one hand and a glass of water my other hand. I was going to write my Baby Daughter a note for when she was older. when I got this feeling That I HAD to come to yahoo answers. so I did. I saw an answer from another user he was a Pastor. I knew I HAD to send him an email. after that I put the pills away. the next day I spoke with him on IM and he helped me a lot,
Now I guess you are saying so. my point is GOD wanted me to live. GOD wanted me to be here for my Baby Daughter so I could raise her right and so I could help other people who may need help. God wants ALL of us to live. He gave us life don't Hurt God by throwing away your life If He wants you in Heaven He will Take you home in HIS time. NOT YOURS. Hope this helps a little bit. God Bless

Suicide tells the world that you do not think God's grace is sufficient for you. It will turn your loved ones away from God because they will believe that GOD was not able to help you...and if you have children, you have greatly increased their chance of following your example.

God does love you and he has given you a decision. To do what's right (what he needs) or do what's incorrect (what you desire). do no longer blame God for the type you sense. God does not make you desire to kill your self. He speaks against killing/homicide which includes suicide; self-homicide. in case you kill your self the only "early coming" is being judged and going to hell. (Revelation 21) that's a sin...to kill your self. To think of that disobeying God's regulations does not remember with the aid of fact you're nonetheless going to heaven is plenty off the mark. Suicide isn't victimless or in basic terms self-hurting. Victimless potential no person is harmed yet via killing your self you're harming your self and the wellness of others. "the only individual who gets harm is the guy themself." is a incorrect assertion. your loved ones, acquaintances, and relatives are harm...perhaps no longer actual yet emotionally. Harming your self would reason others to wreck themselves. residing an prolonged unhappy existence? sure, existence is bigoted. that's unplanned and unexpectable in spite of the incontrovertible fact that that's a modern-day. the means to have the means love, stay, have memories, make memories, happiness, unhappiness, wish, peace...and so on. that's a thoroughly happy and gorgeous adventure, in spite of the grief, soreness and unhappiness. that's no longer cool. there are a lot of human beings interior the worldwide who wanted that they had greater time, an prolonged time to stay. Others wanted that their relatives had existence...had time. you do no longer understand what a privilege that's to have existence do no longer end it. what's previous isn't precisely the type you would be able to think of it may be. do no longer provide up. carry on. have faith in God.

God created each of us for a reason. Suicide is a sin same as abortion.

Well, God is a God who has an intimate relationship with each individual who comes to Him by faith. So I can't say what his particular will is for each person. For instance we have this story of Samson who killed himself while killing many enemies of God at the same time.
And when their hearts were merry, they said, "Call Samson, that he may entertain us." So they called Samson out of the prison, and he entertained them. They made him stand between the pillars. And Samson said to the young man who held him by the hand, "Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them." Now the house was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there, and on the roof there were about 3,000 men and women, who looked on while Samson entertained. Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, please remember me and please strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged on the Philistines for my two eyes." And Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and he leaned his weight against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other. And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." Then he bowed with all his strength, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he had killed during his life. Judges 16:25-30
In this instance God's plan for Samson's life had reached it's end and Samson died glorifying God. But a person who is overcome with despair and depression who takes their own life doesn't glorify God with their death. Such a person is suffering from an illness and should seek God in prayer, seek help through the body of Christ which is the church, and seek help through the wisdom that God has given to doctors who might prescribe medications that will help with that condition.
The Bible says that when we are born again we become a new creation with good works that God has planned in advance for us to do.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10
It's the Devil who wants us to kill ourselves so that God's plan for our lives will never come to pass. Listen to Jesus and not the Devil and live a life that glorifies your Heavenly Father, in Jesus' name, Amen!
John 10:7 So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
John 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

The simple answer is; you are destroying His temple, with the act of suicide.

When you give a present, do you wish a person who got the present to throw it away? No you don't.
God gave us life, and He doesn't want us to throw it away.
