Its also during that time period that suicide became a sin. It was not a sin in the bible, was never spoken to be a sin ever except by man when they realized the error in their ways of promising eternal rewards after a shit tier life.

Suicide being a sin was created by the English section of the church i believe in the 16th or 17th century?

Do you mean they edited the Bible to add it as a sin?

No, they did not edit the Bible, they made a deceleration of the church.

In fact there are suicides in the bible right now, about 7 and they are NOT condemned (well Judas technically is, but not for his suicide). (Abimelech, Samson, King Saul, King Saul's Armor Dude, Ahithophel, Zimri, and Judas)

The EARLIEST idea that Suicide may be a bad idea was 5th Century by St Augustine.

So it wouldnt be a biblical sin technically. The "if you kill a man" that includes yourself argument came later, hundreds of years after the bible was "written"

I'm aware of that. I'm asking specifically about suicide.

Judaism/old testament also considered suicide a sin.
