    A lot of people are under the assumption that suicide is a self-imposed ticket to heaven. But, it is not. All that we have to do is search the scriptures, and we will see for oursleves that we serve a God of Life. He is not a god of fear, or of death.

    When Jesus died on the cross, He conquered death, and took away its sting. Why would David declare in Psalms 118:17' that he will "not die but "live and declare the works of the Lord!"

    God's grace is sufficient for anything that we are faced with in this world. If we reject the help that He is offering us during our time of troubles, then we are rejecting Him. How can we go to heaven by rejecting what God has to offer?

    No way! Being a Christian means being "Christ like". Christ endured the hardness all of the way to the cross. Satan tried to tempt Jesus with suicide. Jesus rebuke Satan and reminded him that he should not even tempt the Lord thou God. In other words, don't even mess with me with that mess, Satan. Suicide is a lie!

    5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

    6And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

    7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

    suicideisan act of hopelessness, a desperate attempt to end ones life but it is not a solution to a problem. Whether we like it or not there is eternal life and the existence of it shld. give us hope that everything here is just temporal.No matter how painful it is there is Somebody up there who would heal our wounds someday, and will wipe away our tears, fill us with everlasting jjoy and happiness for all eternity.So never lose hope, for we are not alone.He iis there all the time.

    This is just a tentative list, obviously. There is no Spaulding Gray, Isabella Blow, George Sanders, Lupe Velez, Peg Entwhistle (one of the most famous suicides ever as she jumped from the top of the Hollywood sign).
