Is suicide the unpardonable sin?

Answer 1

No.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unpardonable sin.

Answer 2

Well, considering the fact that you can't ask for forgiveness if you're successful at committing suicide, then, yeah, it's unpardonable. However, the only named unpardonable sin in the Bible is to use the Lord's name in vain.

Answer 3

Hebrews 6:46 states, "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame."
The terms used in this passage show that the writer was not speaking of the occasional slip due to momentary weakness or the temporary emergence of an old habit. To "crucify again" Jesus Christ and "put Him to an open shame" involves a deliberate and quite radical departure from the Christian faith.
Yes, the passage does teach that repentance is impossible for a certain class of people. But these two terms, repentance and impossible, provide the key to understanding how the unpardonable sin differs from other sins.
If an individual, after coming to true conversion and experiencing the joy of salvation, falls into temptation and commits sin, but then "comes to his senses" and repents of his wrongdoing, he has not committed the unpardonable sinfor he has demonstrated in his own life that for him repentance was not impossible.
If you think you have committed the unpardonable sin, are worried about it, and have prayed for God's mercy, you need not fear that the door of salvation has been slammed shut for you. The very fact that you are concerned about it and have sought God's mercy demonstrates a repentant attitude and therefore shows that you never "fell away" to the point that repentance was impossible

Answer 4

I think it shouldn't be. What if it feels like there isn't a way out? What if you want to live a different life other than this one? What if you're curious? But I admit, it is risky. If you hung yourself the pain last take minutes (I'm sure no one wants to feel pain in their last few minutes). Then, jumping underneath a train, it might not kill you but can paralyze you (not you, in general).


ANYWAYS, just because a lot of religions say it is a sin doesn't mean it is. The world may never know...

Answer 5

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is said to be the unpardonable sin, but since you cannot repent after you are dead, then so is suicide.

Answer 6

well, it is said that you will go to hell if you commit suicide, but blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unpardonable sin.

Answer 7

It probably will depend on the circumstances that led to the suicide, the person may have been mentally unwell and God may choose to show great mercy to that person,if the person takes their own life in despair and denial of God that is another matter entirely.

Answer 8

No, because it is sin that is the suicide, and when sin is destroyed by Christ, there is nothing left needing to be punished.

Answer 9

I hope and pray that suicide victums will recieve forgiveness. God is a Forgiving God. The poor , sad, down on life, suicide victums are so depressed and down trodden. How could God not forgive them and save their Souls ? I have a strong feeling that these depressed , sad humans, will recieve Forgiveness.

Answer 10

No. the unpardonable sin is blaspheming the name of Christ
