What is the Christian view of suicide?

Suicide is when someone kills themselves. It has become an epidemic problem in this country and around the world. In Christianity, people are frowned upon when they commit suicide, but it is also believed that people who commit suicide, they will go to hell. However, it does seem that there are exceptions to this belief with some people who practice Christianity.

One exception would be that the mentally ill may commit suicide, but they can’t help it since they have problems. Many people who are contemplating suicide may believe that they will go to hell and that causes them to stop the process of committing suicide. There are really different views regarding suicide among Christians especially today and in modern times.
