But is it part of the free will which was given to us. never in genesis did god say never to take your life. Only the apple tree with forbidden fruit.

I do not think in the bible is says if one is dissatisfied with living they are not allow to end it.

That doesnt mean anything. Something is not good because it was the result of freewill. In fact, in christianity, sin only make sense if there was freewill involved.

Its like with democracy. A democratic decision isnt acceptable because its democratic, you have to use other parameters to discriminate between a good and a bad decision.

You are trying to cheat your way to Heaven?

Idk, I look at life as a test of one's faith, even if you see no sign of a God, it doesn't mean one doesn't exist. You just have to believe, and strive to be a good person, what do you have to lose?

Well lets take a look at 9/11 when people jumpped out of the buildings... They say death coming, so they decided to take their own lives on their own time.

All I'm saying is I am sure God can see in some of the circumstances. All humans have breaking points. I find it a bit odd that he would want you to drudge through life just to please him in the sense of keeping his creation on earth. (that last sentence was hard to translate)

for those in 9/11 jumping out of windows became their only way out and sense of possible survival.

if you had God behind your back pushing you through life im sure you would not experience such feelings such as suicide. when God gives you a hard time he expects you to keep faith and carry on. he does not expect to see you suiciding because GOd left you for a few weeks. theres an example of this in the exodus where the israelites are moan and groan and despair everytime they think that God deserted them.

im sure God will understand if you jump out of a window because you were scared.
