I just found out that my cousins ex boy friend commited suicide yesterday or today in the morning not sure.(he had a car accident and form there on everything went down hill,he got depressed,my cousin was there for him but he attacked her insulted and threatned to kill himself if she was never coming back with him,and he did)
how can someone who was perfectly fine last night and told my cousin he was going to call her in the morning becuase everything is sooo much better then months ago after the accident,all of the sudden when things are like 100% better,commit suicide?
What is suicide looked as in the bible,is this pretty horrible?

ACT V
SCENE I. A churchyard.
Enter two Clowns, with spades, & c
First Clown
Is she to be buried in Christian burial that
wilfully seeks her own salvation?
Second Clown
I tell thee she is: and therefore make her grave
straight: the crowner hath sat on her, and finds it
Christian burial.
First Clown
How can that be, unless she drowned herself in her
own defence?
Second Clown
Why, 'tis found so.
First Clown
It must be 'se offendendo;' it cannot be else. For
here lies the point: if I drown myself wittingly,
it argues an act: and an act hath three branches: it
is, to act, to do, to perform: argal, she drowned
herself wittingly.

i answered a question similar to this a few days ago... you might want to look up other people's answers to some of the other suicide/religion questions.
I beleive (with christian related situations) that God takes every situation differently, one on one. don't let someone tell you that your friend was damned to hell, becuase they simply dont know. I can't see any god that would condemn someone for not being able to find a way out. I'm not condoning suicide, at all, but i don't think that you're necessarily going to hell for it.
the bible may say that it's an unforgiveable sin, but the bible's also been so translated that it may be taken out of context.
all you or your cousin can do is pray for him. That's it.
Good luck, honey. I hope you find peace. ;)

It depends, I believe God handles these situations individually and not as a whole.
If suicide is committed due to a severe mental disorder or depression, basically due to an uncontrollable problem, then I'm sure there is a lot of understanding and healing going on.
If it is committed out of selfish or revenge motives (likely your bf's case), then he probably is going to reincarnate almost immediately and deal with a similar situation as he did your cousin until he learns to overcome his obstacle instead of breaking his contracts with God.

No where does the Bible say that suicide is an unforgiveable sin. Im sure it does not sit well with God either. But he will be the judge. Even if someone is a believer, who is to say that they cant snap, and take their own life.

Suicide is wrong according to the bible. However, The God I serve would take it case by case im sure. You cant beleive that our God would send someone to hell for not being in their right mind. How do we know for sure who was or who wasnt in thier right mind, Only God.

Suicide is considered to be self-murder. This is a serious sin but not unforgivable. The unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

I am so sorry. No one knows why people do that it is one of those things that unfortunatly we will never have the answers too. It leaves everyone hurt and with questions that will never be answered. One thing I know is that God judges by the heart and only He knows who will go to heaven and who will not. Take care and God bless!

it is unfortunate but yes the human psychei really is that frail
its seen as an unforgivable sin, as he can not confess to this, however had he not known this in his time of despare I am sure he would be in purgatory as we speak. pray for him

In the bible suicide is considered to be an "unforgivable" sin. Personally, however, I do not believe this to be true.
