Do you believe that suicide is a sin? Do you think someone who commits suicide goes to heaven?

Whether or not someone who commits suicide goes to Heaven has nothing to do with the suicide itself and everything to do with Who they know.

It is considered murder, to yourself.

And where does the Bible say that?

even if u sin u still go to heaven. as long as u were a christian.

...That's probably the worst explanation of anything like this I've ever seen.
It's saying if you killed your entire family you'll still go to heaven because you believe in it.

"All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God...
but while were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans

If he/she asked Jesus to take the penalty of Sin for him, then yes they are saved. However if someone takes their own life you have to wonder why? If someone calls themelves a christian and then commits suicide, you have to question how genuine their faith was, perhaps they were like the seed that landed in the thorny path

...why does committing suicide make someone less of a Christian? Or are you stupid enough to think that Christians are magically immune to depression?

I thought suicide was unequivocally a sin, and arguing otherwise required the brutal abuse of semantics?

Noting now that committing a sin does not automatically disqualify one from heaven.

IMO people who kill themselves can go to heaven if they were good people, and if not they won't.

No of course not, one of my best friends is both a follower of Jesus and a depression sufferer. However I believe and the bible says that Jesus transforms your live, gives you a new hope when you become a christian. So taking your life away is rebelling against God (sinning). So you have to question why, not immeadiately jump to conclusions.

Perhaps because depression is often a clinical problem and the persons who suffer from depression aren't always responsible for their actions? I don't think it's your place to call anyone "less" Christian for committing suicide...they're no "less" Christian than a Christian who lies or a Christian who has extra-marital sex.
