is there any verses in the bible about suicide?

Answer 1

Hello friend,
Great question.
I am wondering what prompts the question though.
You might find the following helpful

If you were wondering if suicide automatically sends someone to Hell, the answer is no.
But don't get in a hurry yet.

In God's Book, take a look at two separate men who's actions ended their own lives.

First, look at Matthew 27:3-5 and see Judas die by his own hand.
Look at what and why, think about motive stated and implied.

Next, look at Judges 16:28-30 and see Samson die by his own hand. Look at what and why, and as before, think about motive stated and implied.

Friend, here you see self inflicted deaths, but with different motives. God does not condone, promote, or in any other way want the jewels of His creation to commit suicide. He loves you, and wants you with Him for all Eternity, but He does not want you there ahead of schedule!

Please consider these passages, and ask God about what you've read, and what I've said. I am accountable to Him for my words, and don't take them lightly.

My prayers are with you.
2 Tim. 2:7

Answer 2

Yes, however it is hard to find such verses when searching for modern words such as "suicide." For example King James is so old the word didn't exist when translated. So if you search a paraphased traslation (such as New Living) you have a better chance to find what you're looking for.

The idea that you are automatically condemned for committing suicide isn't in the Bible. Just in case that is what you were getting at. That said, suicide is a sin and could result in being condemned.

Answer 3

Didn't Judas hang himself after Christ's death? And there is the moment when the wife turns into a pillar of sand after looking back at the burning city (though that was more divine punishment than anything)

Most of the bible is about the murder of other people by God.

Answer 4

Th Catholics believe a person will burn for it, I believe it is a sin, but that if a person is saved, you cannot accomplish what God put you here for. Since it is a selfish act and God said he will never forsake a person or tempt someone beyond what they can handel and always gives them away out, then suicide stops a person from accoplishing what God sent them here for, it also hurts those around that person that loved them. I do not think God would erase that person's name out of the book of life for it, that would be saying that one sin is worse then the other and then we would have tosay that murder is worse to, and to God a sin is a sin and all sins are equal.

Answer 5

If knowingly jumping into a pool with sharks, with the knowledge that they are going to eat you is suicide, then the Jesus story is.

Answer 6

Catholics teach that people who die by suicide cannot enter heaven, but I believe that is teaching from "the church" rather than from scripture.

Linked is an article that covers the topic.

Answer 7

In Joshua it says to Choose Life.

Answer 8

i don't know the verse, but i was always taught that if you did that, you would never be allowed in heaven for eternity.....has kept me from ever thinking about taking that escape.

Answer 9

In Orthodox version is something like: if you do it, you`ll never go to heaven....... I hope you don`t think about suicide..... If you do, think twice!

Answer 10
