    In Judaism and Islam, suicide is forbidden. But in recent times Christianity has changed it’s stance on suicide. If it is done under great duress or mental illness, it is not a sin. If it is done to save others, it’s also not a sin.

        I mean realistically Jesus himself said that there's only one unforgivable sin and that is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.

        Even then, he only said you would be in "danger" of hellfire for doing that.

        I like to believe that we live in a universe where it is just as hard to go to hell as it is to go to heaven.

        I mean even in Revelations it said that everyone would be split right up the middle the ones on the right side would go to heaven the ones on the left side would go to the "second death", and then there would be a small group of people in the middle who also get shunted off to the second death, and only a very small group of people would be given eternal life and then thrown into hellfire, namely the Antichrist and the false prophet and Satan, and their followers.

        So you have to really really want it to go to hell.

        There's no official spokesperson for Baptists. It's a movement, not an organisation.
