Is it a sin to "cause" your death?

[madson58000]

I had suicidal thoughts for quite a while now, but struggle with it as it is a sin to do it, or even think or about it. However is it a sin to kill yourself with an external cause, such as car crash, robbery, drafting into war or else?
I have the feeling that this thread will sound very inappropriate since a lot of people suffer these and much more without wanting it, and I'm here sitting being free from these bad things. But believe it or not I'm just trying to find an allowed way to join Jesus sooner in Heaven.
I guess most of these things usually have a suffer period before somehow dying, but there are maybe ways that don't have it. I just don't wanna spend time looking for them just to learn that it's bad anyway.
I guess anyway you can't trick God with this method but would He see this as "you caused it so you sinned" or something else? I think I already know the answer though.

Really sorry to hear you're struggling, please seek professional help (psychologist, counsellor, pastor).

In some ways eating too much sugar or fat, or exercising not enough falls into the same category ..

Feel free to PM. You're called to Life .. !

Except those can cause a lot of pain and suffering instead.of death.

I also don't believe suicide keeps you from heaven.

It is a sin to kill yourself. Whether you put a gun to your head, or take pills, or crash your car makes no difference.

Thinking "I hope I die" is not quite the same thing as thinking "I'm going to kill myself." It is still very likely a sin, because it probably involves things like despair and self-hatred, which are sins.

To say that suicide is a sin doesn't NECESSARILY mean that it will automatically prevent a person from going to heaven. Culpability is dependent on circumstances like mental state etc. If a person is not capable of rational thought due to circumstance then their culpability is diminished.

We are always to choose life, health and the blessings of God. There are a lot of doctors out there that are happy to help people end their life. The Bible is clear that life is always the right choice to make. Why would we come here to live this life if we are not goin to do what we came here to learn?
