flatlinzreborn is right. The first sin was disobeying God. Regardless of what that fruit was.

No. Not because of the act itself. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven, except the rejection of Christ as your Savior. While suicide is a terrible/tragic thing, it is not unforgivable.\n\nNote: I see that there are many responses that indicate a person would "automatically" go to hell for this sin. I disagree with that. We are not saved by our actions. We are saved by grace through faith. Is God's grace nullified when we sin? No. While repentance is very important, it is NOT a means of grace. We do not "earn" forgiveness via our repentance. I'm sure that many, many Christian will die with some sin they never had a chance to repent of...that does not nullify the grace of God. \n\nAll that being said, life is a gift from God! We should use the days that He has given us wisely.

The seven deadly sins were made up by St Gregory in the 6th century and are not in the Bible. They are a tradition of men and are not to be trusted. To God sin is sin and a small sin is just as bad as a large sin. All sin seperates you from God. If you have faith and are baptized for the remission of sin then you are forgiven of all sin. Here are two links below to look at that might help. \n\nHope this helps & God Bless,\n\nChris

i beg to differ with the answerer, the only sin that cannot be forgiven is not accepting Christ, [contrary] the word itself says in mark 3;28 [plain and simple, then compare 1 john 1;9 except blaspheme against the holy spirit [only 1]\nacts 5;3-11\nmatt 12;31\nluke 12;10 woe unto the man/woman that does such a thing, that's why people need to be careful when answering or asking vain stuff concerning God, i would leae it alone if it is not positive, hell danger, besides 1 cor.2;16-13;12   eph 9;12 let this be your schooling, don't be offended because God said in james 1;5 and here we go, now ya know

Blasphemy against the Spirit (Matthew 12:31) is the sin of attributing to Satan (Matthew 12:24) what is the work of the Spirit of God (Matthew 12:28).\n\nWith love in Christ.

No human can forgive sins. \n\nGod allows humans to forgive each other on acts that harm the rest of the living...however...some crimes, I reckon would not be forgiven by God, even if I have forgiven someone for doing them.\n\nWhy? Because I dont know what lies in peoples hearts. Only He does. So HE in His infinite wisdom, might chose to forgive or not to forgive depending on the persons sincerity.\n\nThis is why, when faced with a man who hurts you in some way, you must pray, may God forgive him, if you want his own good.

Yes, I agree!\n\nOnly God is Perfection, and His Messengers reflect His Perfection, and we...?  We are entirely imperfect.  Therefore, only God is the ultimate judge.\n\nChrist brought a message of love and forgiveness.  If someone calling themselves a Christian looks upon others with an unforgiving heart, they have much to learn.\n\nForgiveness is different than forgetting, however.\n\nYes, I can forgive a man for being a sick pedophile and molesting a child, but will I forget his misdeed and permit him access to other children?  Hell, no!\n\nThose who hurt other human beings must be punished and/or separated from society.  We forgive them for the sake of God, not for themselves.\n\nAnd we NEVER forget.

The sin of blaspheming God's Spirit of truth is called unbelief.  It is unpardonable for obvious reasons.  Those who commit this will have understood the truth of the gospel and rejected it anyway.  The penalty is death in the lake of fire.\n\n"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."  Matthew 12:31-32\n\n"And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven."  Luke 12:10 \n\n"But the...UNBELIEVING...shall have their part in the lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death."  Rev. 21:8\n\nAnd whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."  Rev. 20:15

It is commonly thought that all human beings (with the possible exceptions of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary) have sinned at some point and are in need of repentness and forgiveness.\n\nThe fallen nature of humans that makes it so easy for us to sin is called Original Sin.\n\nEven very holy people increase their efforts to be more and more Christlike.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Jesus made the answer to your question clear when he said "all manner of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven among men.....(Matt.Ch.12 V31-32 being blasphemy against the Holy Ghost which involved a 2 fold Heavenly witness)as this is the only sin for which there is no forgiveness, then suicide is forgivable. Hope this helps.

Jesus mentions a sin that is unforgivable in Matt. 12:31-32 and calls it blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.\n\nNo. A believer cannot commit the unforgivable sin. How can someone who has been born again (John 3:7), made a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17), and received eternal life (John 10:27-28) actually commit the unforgivable sin? He cannot. Jesus Himself said that we have eternal life, not conditional life: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand." Besides, it says in 2 Cor. 5:17 that the Christian is a new creation in Christ. We are different, no longer slaves to the old nature (Rom. 6:14). We are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.\n     There is no biblical support for a believer committing this sin. It just hasn’t happened. Also, if you are worried that you may have committed the sin and can’t be forgiven, then don’t be concerned. If you are worrying about it, then you haven’t committed it. If you are worried about it, then that is a sign that you have not committed it. If you had, you wouldn’t be concerned.

All of the respondents who say that "all sins are the same" have not read their Bibles very closely.  Consider Jesus' words to Pilate:\n\nJesus answered, "You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin." - John 19:11\n\nHaving a "greater sin" would make no sense if "all sins are the same".\n\nEvery sin is a wicked offense against God but not all sins are equally vile.

"Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." (Mt 12:31) There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss. \n\nBlasphemy is directly opposed to the second commandment. It consists in uttering against God - inwardly or outwardly - words of hatred, reproach, or defiance; in speaking ill of God; in failing in respect toward him in one's speech; in misusing God's name. St. James condemns those "who blaspheme that honorable name [of Jesus] by which you are called." (Jas 2:7) The prohibition of blasphemy extends to language against Christ's Church, the saints, and sacred things. It is also blasphemous to make use of God's name to cover up criminal practices, to reduce peoples to servitude, to torture persons or put them to death. The misuse of God's name to commit a crime can provoke others to repudiate religion. \n\nBlasphemy against the Spirit is the sin of attributing to Satan what is the work of the Spirit of God (See example at Mt 12:24-28) \n\nBlasphemy is contrary to the respect due God and his holy name. It is in itself a grave sin.

First, all through the bible, it says God can and will, do whatever he wants, which includes forgiving. In no place in the bible, does it say you can not be forgiven for taking your own life, BUT, the bible states in [1 Corinthians 6:19,20], "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; [20] you were bought at a *price. Therefore honor God with your body.\n"-(*through Christ's dying on the cross for all mankind). \n\n  You're not alone, but be aware of how God looks at the broken hearted: [Psalm 51:17] "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."\nand here:\n[Isaiah 57:15 ] "For this is what the high and lofty One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite."\n\n  I look at it this way. Hopefully, when someone finds themself at this door, I hope they may believe that calling on the name of the Lord will save them as it says in [Acts 2:21].\n\n The bible says doing that, will save your life for the Holy Spirit inside, will create in us a new creation - [2 Corinthians 5:17] "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" and in [Ephesians 2:10] "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."\n\n  When the Holy Spirit rebuilds a person's mind, it redirects that persons attention similar to this: [Psalms 16] "[8] I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. [9] Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, [10] because you will not abandon me to the grave.."\n\nThis process begins to bring peace of mind to us once again.\n\nWe stay hopeful and in earnest in the future by remembering some of God's promises:\n[Hebrews 7:25] "He is able to save to the uttermost.."\n[Hebrews 13:5] Christ says "I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you"\n[1st John 4:4] Christ said "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world", speaking of the Holy Spirit sealed in us when we accept being born again, or leaving our old ways to take on Christ's ways.\n\nIt's worth it to just think about some of this before making that final commitment to end it.\n\n The following web site will read the bible to you for free: (you will need to download the free RealPlayer media player to listen)\nhttp://www.audio-bible.com/bible/contents.html
