I don’t think suicide is right or godly, but I don’t think it’s theologically accurate that are unforgiven before you ask all the time. God forgave all sins on the cross and when you are first redeemed. Otherwise if you yelled at somebody and then died in a car accident, you would be unforgiven. That just doesn’t make logical sense. No one can snatch you out of God’s hand if you are following Him.
I believe that piece of theology was developed because when people are in hard times and they learn about Heaven they might think they just want to go there now and the church didn’t want to encourage that. But God has rest for the weary, comfort, and healing.

THANK YOU.
If you can't be forgiven for killing yourself, it would seem as if like Jesus' sacrifice wasn't powerful enough.
Which makes zero sense.
Jesus defeated sin. I can ignore that if I choose, but I can not undo that.
Yes exactly, it's unlogical theology.
I understand why people would want to discourage suicide theologically, but it's not accurate.
There are other good reasons not to. Jesus saves.
