Question

ohkay im kind of confused because in the catholic religion suicide is a sin correct? but if sins are forgivin (not saying that you should or w/e) why shouldnt suicide because what if they were "sick" and thats nothing that they could have fixed? and then they killed themselves can some one explain?? and btw im not thinking about killing my self im just wondering

AGAIN IM NOT GOING TO KILL MYSELF its just a question

Answer 1

It's because Catholics believe that you must ask for forgiveness while still alive in order to get forgiven for it. You can't ask for forgiveness for suicide while still alive, thus it is unforgivable.

This comment is to Edna "Dirrty" - hey sweetheart your spelling ain't too great either. Dirty is spelled with one r as far as I know! But your comment made me laugh out loud, thanks.

On to the question at hand, I am a sceptic on all matters related to religion (too logical to have blind faith), but I do know something about the dogma of the Catholic religion. It isn't that ALL sins are forgiven - if that were the case, there would be no role for what they call "hell". I think the verdict remains that if you take your life (a choice apparently only "God" can make), according to the Catholic religion you are doomed to spend eternity in hell. Maybe if you did it for altruistic reasons, i.e. to unburden your family from expensive, long-term medical care that isn't improving your condition, you might end up in limbo for a while, but I hear it's already crowded there in limbo with all the unbaptised babies. Ultimately, you are looking for a logical answer from a source that doesn't have any foundation in logic or science. To be a devout Catholic requires you to buy into many illogical concepts - being able to do that is what they call faith. I think that since we already know our atoms are recycled I think its a good possibility our 'souls' are recycled too. No heaven or hell. Up to you how you want to end your life - but I do understand yours is just a hypothetical question. Cheers

Think about it... Paul was the equivalent of a murderer of Christians! Due to his misdirected zeal for tradition, he instigated hatred towards them, & travelled around, rounding them up for trials! This campaign of vicious persecution against Christ’s followers led to many of their executions, which he cast his vote in approval for. He *strongly* believed that what he was doing was right...

Check out what Stephen said just before dieing from being stoned, in front of Paul, at Acts 6:8-9:1...
http://watchtower.org/bible/index.htm

"They went on casting stones at Stephen as he made appeal and said: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then, bending his knees, he cried out with a strong voice: “Jehovah, do not charge this sin against them.” And after saying this he fell asleep [in death]." -- Acts 8:59-60

Later, Jesus appeared to Paul while on one of his travels, & Paul soon came to learn of his horrible mistake... Jesus recognized that Paul had acted out of ignorance, and forgave him. Paul eventually penned *14* of the 27 books of the Christian Greek Scriptures!

"...Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom. And yet THAT IS WHAT SOME OF YOU *WERE*. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God." --1 Corinthians 6:9b-11

One who commits suicide deprives himself of any opportunity to repent of his self-murder. No one can say whether one driven to suicide might have had a change of heart if his attempt to take his own life had failed. There have actually been some notorious murderers who have, in fact, 'turned around' and earned God’s forgiveness during their lifetime. --2 Kings 21:16; 2 Chronicles 33:12, 13.

Although suicide is not the exacyt same thing as murder, a person who commits suicide is often also acting under a strong belief, that there is ZNO other way! The feeling can be *overwhelming*! Self-murder is, however, forgiveable... Not in all cases, but, in all which are committed by people who didn't knowingly & willfully 'sin against God's holy spirit'...

There is “a sin that does incur death,”
deliberate *practice* of sin for which there is no forgiveness.
A Christian should not pray for those sinning in this way.
--1Jo 5:16; Mt 12:31; Heb 10:26, 27

Answer 4

Only God can judge suicide.
It is a sin to kill ..even yourself.
All life belongs to God. If you kill a bird while driving please tell God you are sorry.

When a person takes his own life he most definitely is not playing with a full deck so God will have to judge him.

Answer 5

If you are asking us if we think suicide is a forgiveable sin, my own opinion is that God can forgive any sin.
In my humble opinion, we ought to leave these matters up to God. After all, it is His business to forgive sins, not ours.

Answer 6

You have to go to Confession. God is constantly offering His forgiveness, we just need to confess and admit our sinfulness and ask for forgiveness. God is always ready to forgive. We just have to apologize.

Answer 7

Suicide is a sin, if you're a Catholic. It's not, if you're an Atheist.

Answer 8

Catholic religion has bigger issues than that....

Answer 10
