> According to what I found with a Web search, it's not that clear. Like, there's nothing in the bible that explicitly states that you'll go to hell if you kill yourself. Aquinas interpreted it that way, but modern (non-Catholic) interpretations seem to point more toward redemption whether or not one commits suicide, so long as they accept Christ.
Hi, this is true however...
Jews and Christians traditionally view the commandment against murder(Exodus 20:13) as applying to suicide as well.
