Correct me if I am wrong but does not suicide, assisted or not constitute a one way ticket to hell according to my bible?

Lately however the secularists have been teaching that assisted suicided is a glamorous way to kick the bucket.

That's the way I've always read it.

These are the same secularists who are teaching that ignoring all Biblical mandates is the key to an enjoyable and glamorous life.

“Correct me if I am wrong but does not suicide, assisted or not constitute a one way ticket to hell according to my bible?”

Verse?

You’re wrong :) I am quite sure that is not biblical but merely a Catholic addition.

But feel free to offer up any textual evidence.

I have never seen it elevated above any other sin. If your bible says suicide sends one directly to hell, then stealing office supplies likely does as well.

On the other hand, for the lost, it precludes any further chance for salvation. In that case it is like any other death - no more opportunity to repent.

What does your Bible say about suicide? I don't recall anything in the New Testament.

Do not pass Go, do not collect 200 dollars...so to speak. However as someone once said we cannot exclude that God could touch their heart and let them repent of it before the poison kills them. That is however a large risk to take...

I was raised Catholic. Back then, we were taught suicide was a mortal sin that led to eternal damnation. Suicide was a sin according to the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.” Suicide is killing yourself. We were taught it is the same as murder.

As for the eternal damnation part, well, that’s probably debatable depending on whether you’re Catholic or Protestant. And the Catholic Church’s position today may differ from its stance 30-some years ago when I was a child in Catholic school.
