Sin deserves punishment, Jesus has stepped in and provided the sacrifice for us, if you/anyone repents of their sins, realizes that God has granted grace to those that believe in the gift his son is...you to will be saved.

Yes Wallcrawlr, you are perfectly right.

In regards to the "unforgivable" sin of suicide, however, it may be that the person is too weak or forlorn to believe forgiveness could ever be offered.

Some say that not acknowledging Gods words of forgiveness (not believing one is worthy) is a sin unto itself, worthy of condemnation.

How does a person pay for the sin of suicide? I do not know. Perhaps he pays as he considers his actions, and maybe he pays as he accepts the consequence of hell?

Or perhaps the real sin here is the disbelief that it was already paid for, in full, on the Cross.

Thats just it though.
No one that claims Christ as their Saviour pays for their sins. We have a gift in Jesus that did that for us.

If we had to pay for our sins...Christs sacrifice on the cross would be incomplete. We know thats not true.

Where does the idea come from than suicide if unforgivable???
