“For you to arbitrarily decide what sins God has not forgiven is to place yourself in His stead. I will simply take Him at His word.”
I have NOT done this. Try again. Your problem seems to be that you see what you WANT to see rather than what is there.
“GO AND SIN NO MORE” is a pertinent verse. You see “go and sin all you want, you are forgiven.” Big difference

I can sin all I want, but as a follower of Jesus, I don't want to sin. But I do know that if, and when I do, his blood has already paid for it. I do not take sin lightly, but you seem to put suicide in some special class of sin that is not in the Bible. Suicide would be a last sin and nothing more.
Don't you realize that the woman at the well told to "Go and sin no more", still committed sins later? Hopefully she stopped being an adulteress, but if you think a person can "sin no more", you need to read all of 1 John 5.
Look, you are going by your feelings. If you want to go through life missing that the Gospel is Good News, go ahead. I will not live my life in bondage.
Everyone will have a final sin, and the good news is that they ALL were paid for thousands of years ago.
Assuming you are a true Christian, you can ask Sampson about his request to destroy his enemies and himself at the same time someday.

Actually read all of 1 John. Chapter 1 will show you your state, if a person thinks they can “Sin no more.”
