Satan has tricked people for so long; they cannot even see the truth. He (Satan) is the original manslayer. He does not want you or anyone else to find out that, if you are contemplating suicide and follow through with it you are killing yourself. That is a sin. However, the bad part about it is, you will not be here to ask for forgiveness. At least if you had killed someone else you can ask for forgiveness. You might be in prison, but you will not be in Hell. You might think you are in Hell. Prison is paradise compared to the real Hell.
So what are we saying? “You shall not kill”! It is very simple; do not get yourself into a situation that could cause this to happen. It only takes second to ruin the rest of your life here on earth as well as in eternity. Use your smarts and get help if you need it and do not get into gangs that will pressure you to kill someone just for fun. A life is precious; respect it, as if it is your own.
