I think "Thou shall not kill" means don't kill your fellow human.( Gi egbula ochu in igbo) Going by your argument then "thou shall not kill" means don't kill anything!
Don't you think so?
Is there any other citation that is specific about suicide?

Taking of something which does not belong to you is a sin. It is tantamount to suicide, the life does not belong to you. Biblically, the bible said, thou shalt not kill. This envisages suicide. Any form of killing is a sin whether self or another. If it wasn't a sin, majority will make heaven. REPENT AND COMMIT SUICIDE.lol

Sucide is a broad statement which could occur in many ways.. Christ knows hes gonna be killed on earth bt he came and sacrificed himself, U see datz sucidal....


Btw na u get urself, instead of killing others, just kindly yaself... But to me, its an earthly sanitation, a better means of slowpoke eradicating themselves

There's no doubt that suicide is a terrible tragedy. For a Christian it is an even greater tragedy because it is a waste of a life that God intended to use in a glorious way.It would be difficult to argue that suicide is not a sin, for it is the taking of a human life, or to put it bluntly, murder. The Bible clearly expresses the sanctity of human life (Exodus 20:13). God is the author of life, thus, the giving and taking of life ought to remain in his hands (Job 1:21).

1 Corinthians 3:17 
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

Happy sunday to you all!

There is no such thing as sin. Sin is a word created by human. I would rather use the word ignorance

However sucide in general is running away from something that they have not been taught they have the power to deal with. A conscious suicide 99.99999 percent of the time will reintroduce themselves reincarnationally almost immediately back into the society, and will introduce themselves into a situation that is almost identical to the one they ran away from.

I think letting them know that they will automatically be back to complete to that situation/ task will produce a very interesting reaction. Will he/she still want to go ahead if it becomes obvious that life is a cycle and every stage must be completed? Let them know that they are creators, and that what they are feeling is simply because they have chosen to buy into religious beliefs systems that have forced them to believe that they have no power, that they have no say, that they have no control. Get them in touch with their beliefs about life, and allow them to redefine those beliefs.

Qur’an 6:151 says, “and do not kill a soul that God has made sacrosanct, save lawfully.” (i.e. murder is forbidden but the death penalty imposed by the state for a crime is permitted).


Quran 5:53 says, “… whoso kills a soul, unless it be for murder or for wreaking corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.”

okay, suicide is hanging yourself to a tree or ceiling. While killing yourself is by gun, knife and poison. Naija version.
