The Sin of Suicide.

[Ruru-san]

Sooo, I was brought up heavily Christian and obviously one of the rules I was told was that "suicide is a sin and would send you straight to hell". Whether I believe this or not doesn't matter because I've already had that phrase drilled into me along with the fear.

I've just been contemplating , where do you draw the line between suicide and just letting yourself die? I've never had the bravery to outright commit suicide but I've been wondering . If i were in a situation where if I didn't call for help / seek medical attention would result in my death (not by any self inflicted wound) would this biblically count as suicide? For example if I were bleeding out on the floor and I chose to just lay there even though I had the strength to get help, would this be considered suicide in the eyes of God?

Just need any Christian to help me out here because it's something that's been bothering me and would love an answer before I'm ever put In a situation like that. Thanks!

Im planning to ctb tonight, and while I wouldn't call myself a Christian with all my sins and not even being baptized, that too is my biggest fear. I prayed up to this part for signs, for things to please block me from committing it if its wrong, but everything rather went well for me. I was easily able to access most of the things I needed.

Either way, Hell terrifies me, its so scary and my only fear once I am dead. I do not know if it is a sin, but just like any other sin, I hope God can forgive that one too...

Hope things go well for you.
