Before I answer I have to say I hope you are not asking this because you are seriously considering suicide. If you are please talk to someone right away!
With that being said.... In short the answer is, Yes. It is forgive-able. The bible states that Jesus' death atoned (paid for) for every sin of every person. Everyday inmates in prison for murder are saved and forgiven for their sins (even the really bad sins). No sin is excluded if I person genuinely repents of their sin and asks forgiveness, it will be forgiven. So, would God approve of someones suicide? No. Would it be forgiven? Yes. I hope that helps. Read the book of Romans, it spells it out very well.

I have felt that way MANY TIMES so I can relate.
What stopped me was the pain and suffering and grief it would cause to my family. At that point I saw it as a selfish act where i was only thinking of my own problems and not the many problems that I would create for my family.
The grief that would ache in my families hearts until the day that they passed on.
The things that they would remember about me and the truly good times that we had would be tainted and overwhelmed by the dull pain of my loss.
Do not commit suicide for your sake alone. Don't do it for your family, because you know that you are loved.
I am not one to say for sure if it can be forgiven.
Would you please share with us what has happened to make you feel like killing yourself ?
JESUS Bless you,

Your salvation has nothing to do with your behavior or choices. Whether anyone will live in heaven is another question altogether - in fact, God created the earth for mankind to live and according to the bible, Christ establishes his eternal kingdom on earth. One could argue that someone who is saved and supposedly places his faith in God wouldn't commit suicide under normal circumstances - the problem would not be salvation but spiritual maturity.

No you Will be a disembodied soul (Ghost) and have to wait out your actual death time and even then you will probably miss the opportunity to go because Ghosts become so absorbed in their misery they forget to leave when it is time. It is a great sin to take ones own life. You are not saved if you think like that. Saved means you follow the teachings of Jesus. Believing means following and true born again means "Go and Sin no more." Don't be a coward. Serve Jesus and God while you are hear.Surrender to his will of your death don't try to be the controller of death. You will loose. Read the Gospel of the Nazirenes. Google gospelofthenazirenes.com (The original New Testament before King Constantine changed it. Jesus originally taught karma, reincarnation, vegetarianism, and no one goes to hell eternally. one needs to understand these original truth to understand the unlimited mercy and love of God.

The Bible doesn't catalog suicide as a sin. It only documents incidences of it happening. Some religions teach that suicide is "self murder" but that is debatable.
Anyhow, Jesus came that we should have life and have it abundantly. The Devil is a liar and a murderer and a thief. If you are going through a difficult time you need to draw closer to God in prayer and seek help from the church and from a doctor. Don't let the Devil rob God of what He plans for one of his children here on earth. Don't listen to the lies of the Devil. Get help because as members of the body of Christ we are called to support one another.

dont waste your life after years you have been on earth.
If you live good and kind enough, you will create your own magnetic field to live eternally in the universe, and avoid torture from other particle fields.
No heaven is aproved so far except particle fields present.
Take suicide you will torture and do harmful to your magnetic field on being into exsitance. This is law of nature one after one in same pace of evolution theory. If you loose all your life, you maybe transmit to fall into black hole to torture and never get out of it.

It all depends. . . did you ask for forgiveness the last moment of your life? Are you mentally not responsible for your actions (which I doubt - you have the capacity to think about what you are about to do with clarity)?
It all comes down to this; no one knows what is in your heart except God, and since God makes all the rules about who does and doesn't go to heaven, then who am I to say yes or no? That is something that He will decide the moment you are before Him.

We are forgiven of our sins when we confess them to God.
1 John 1:9
If you commit suicide, you die in a state of sin.
Do you REALLY want to risk eternity for temporary problems?

no one can answer that question with 100% assurance. i think the more important question would be what has separated you so far from your joy and peace... find out how you can overcome it then you will be able to help others out of the despair you are in and God will be glorified through your life... nobody benefits through your killing yourself

who told you that your saved, Jesus made it plain (Matthew 24:13) 13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.
so have you endured till the end of your life being a foot step follower of the Christ until your death?
