Why do Christians consider suicide a grave sin? Isn't Satan god of this horrible world? So what's so bad about leaving it and going to heaven?

if you kill yourself how will we send your taxes and tithes to israel?

God & Satan is the same entity
And they both don't exist

Because you're God's property.

I don't know but probably for it's selfishness. In my opinion suicide is murder. You just murdered yourself. My friends have murdered themselves and it definitely felt like they were murdered to me

What's even the point of living here if God exists? It's better to just die and leave this shithole world.

Murder is a grave sin. Suicide is self murder. Thus suicide is a grave sin. That simple.

Intentionally ending one's life is often seen as a rejection of God’s sovereignty and a lack of hope in His providence. The primary theological objection is that life is not a possession, but a trust. In this view, God is the author of life, and humans are its "stewards." Life is seen as a "loan" from God. By ending it, a person is seen as reclaiming an authority that belongs only to the Creator. Many denominations cite Job 1:21: "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away." The argument is that only God should decide the beginning and end of a human life.

Historically, the Church (most notably through thinkers like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas) categorized suicide under the Fifth Commandment: "Thou shalt not kill." Since the commandment doesn't specify "others," it was interpreted to include oneself. It was viewed as a rejection of the natural instinct for self-preservation and a violation of the love one owes to themselves and their community.

Won't disclose but its fucked up.

The reason I was obsessed with Nazism is the fact that Adolf Hitler had politics that weren't stupid and inspiring. Christians can't believe it due to their religion and the collectivism toward "the good".

>>18405771
Suicide is not a sin according to the Bible. Also it's not a sin to murder if God tells you to murder.
>>
>>18405771
This life is a test. The test is not for God, but for you. If you give up half way through a test, you fail that test.

What if you give up 99.99% of the way through and the remaining 0.01 is you writhing in agony in the same bed in the same room you're going to die in?
>>
>>18406449
You are here for your alloted time, not more, not less. You don't get to choose when you leave.
>>
>>18407155
>you're alloted to be in agony for absolutely no reason
Sounds utterly psychopathic.
>>
>>18405771
once you successfully convince people with miserable lives they can just die and live for eternity in absolute bliss, you kind of need to balance that of with a caveat or two
>>
>>18407199
That's a trite observation.
