This was a question brought up by a young man in our Fellowship Bible study. What scriptures does the Bilble touch on this subject?

How about this:
1 Cor 6:19-20
19Do 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; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

I have never seen any specific scripture that touches on this subject, however many people use the example of Judas as a basis for the belief that suicide is an unforgivable sin. However, there are other scriptures that suggest that the only unforgivable sin is the rejection of Christ, so my personal belief is that Judas was condemned not for suicide, but for betraying Christ.

You don't need a scripture or a book to know that suicide is wrong 99% of the time. It's common sense not to give back a gift. Hold on to your life and conquer as many obstacles as you can and become a powerful spiritual being.

If everyone believed totally in god ,they would never take medicine created by man ,see a doctor for a cure ,or take safety precautions .
They think god is in charge of everything .
Suicide is the right thing to do in end stage life .
When the outcome is terminal and the patient is in pain ,why not help him end the suffering .
Surely god isn`t there to ease their pain.
You need to think for yourself and stop believing in an invisible god .

The Apostle Paul says ye are bought with a Price ye are not your own and God says thou Shall not Kill that means yourself also

Exactly, it does not. What the Bible does say is that murder is a sin. To take one's own life is to murder.

Everywhere. God is the only supreme being. God makes a life and takes a life. You need to read the bible. IT is everywhere..

"Thou shall not kill." Suicide is just another euphemism for killing. You kill yourself, don't you? You don't live your life for you, you live it for God. You don't have the authority to take it away.

"Thou shalt not murder". In the Bible, murder is described as the intentional killing of a person with a soul - oneself included.
