Question:
Where does it say in the Bible that people who commit suicide go to Hell?
If you say it's in the 10 Commandments, "Thou shalt not kill",
then HOW would you justify:
- killing in self defense?
- killing in war/soldiers killing each other and innocent civilians?
- killing animals to eat their meat and use their bodies?
- killing bugs you can't even see while walking on the sidewalk?
- killing weeds?

I'm not angry at all; just trying to learn something about the Bible and an often-cited reason people give for not killing themselves.
Answers:
It's all about intention of the heart. Killing enemies at war happens everyday, it even talks about it in bible, it's a natural process in war time. However, suicide is different, killing oneself is a murder, for we do not belong to ourself, we belongs to God almighty. Besides, when you kill yourself, you do not get a chance to ask God for forgiveness, every night before we go to bed, we should ask God for forgiveness of our sins.
