According to the Early Church a suicide was to be buried at the crossroads without their head so their soul would wonder forever between heaven and hell with nowhere to rest. As for the bible, I don't recall it saying anything specific except maybe a not saying it was looked down upon by God... The other was the Church's decision.

It says nothing about suicide. That's one of the many things a Christian Oligarchy made up and sold to the people as if it were a part of scripture when it isn't. It's right up there with euthanasia, abortion, drug use - none of these is proscribed in the bible, and slaughter of pregnant women and infants is common in the Old Testament.
Suicide is not a good idea, though, so if you're thinking about it, call someone. If there's no hotline in your area, 911 will work.

What is suicide but murder of oneself. God said, "Thou shall not commit murder."
Would anyone want to destroy the craftsmanship of God? God created every human and placed them in the womb. And they were wonderfully made
Psalms 139:13,14 "For thou hast possessed my reines: thou hast couered me in my mothers wombe. I will praise thee, for I am fearefully and wonderfully made, marueilous are thy works: and that my soule knoweth right well" KJV 1611 (the original King James for all other KJV's are revisions)
I'm not sure why you wanted KJV, but I gave you the original KJV. Unless you speak the King's English and those around you speak the King's English, it would wise to give testimony in the current language that everyone tends to speak.

The Bible says that the body is a temple of God and you should not destroy it.
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
To all those who do not believe in the Bible and choose hell. Here is my response.

practically nothing, unless you put words between lines.
example: making some verse sound like it's a metaphor and include suicide in it.

Suicide is the second most unforgivable sin...the first being non-belief...

Who cares? The Bible isn't real, so what does it matter?
The Bible condones slavery and the stoning to death of disobedient children. Do you practice such atrocities? Probably not, so why do you care what that book has to say about anything?

If you do it, you do not go to heaven.
