Do you think suicide is unforgivable sin?

You're right, but we should also include that God would send the Holy Spirit inside a believer who would give a great big hug to someone suffering mentally because of abuse.
I've seen women so traumatized by an abusive spouse, they were afraid to tell anyone.
I know you know this, but there have always been Jews and gentiles who don't practice what God wants all people to do.

I've been healed from wrongful thoughts by people who loved me.

Key word there..."believer".

Suicide is murder or taking life that belongs to God. We are not allowed by God to avoid suffering by committing murder. Evading suffering is not an excuse He will accept. Asking for grace to endure suffering is allowed. All suffering will end one day for each of us who obey Him. Jesus did not seem to think all suffering would end for those who refuse to obey Him. We have a generation that refuses to suffer and sees suffering as the ultimate evil. Jesus said that we are expected to take up our cross, endure suffering as a good soldier and follow Him. He did not say whatever you do, avoid personal suffering. He said whatever you do, make sure it is keeping His teaching.

I say it’s up to God in a case by case basis. I firmly believe in His mercy but I also do not know the mind of God, so I’m obviously not going to say that He always forgives after a suicide.

Why jump the que?
I think suicide is very much a problem in society. God gave us this precious life to live and Jesus died for us and our sins.
Suicide goes against Gods plan and wishes for us. Though I understand pain and suffering this is not what is wanted.

What is an example of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?
Click to expand...
Crediting good to the devil, instead of to God, who is the source of all good.
Example..."And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils." (Mark 3:22)
Blaming God for evil may also fit the bill...but that is just my opinion.

Everyone has blamed God at some point in their lives though.

If one dies without turning from sin, the sins are unforgivable after death.
Click to expand...
If something can be repented of and forgiven at some given time, it is forgivable; period.
What is unforgivable is not able to be forgiven either side of death.
And at death, either one is unforgiven.

While at or after death there is not a lot of difference, on this side there is a HUGE difference.

Kind of abrupt, but if the ways and means of "getting over it" are espoused, how can it hurt?
Click to expand...
It doesn't hurt when it's espoused, because when the gospel is shared, it's shared by acts of love and mercy and patience and all the fruit of the Spirit toward those suffering.

Why else would they be seeking our help if they didn't expect to hear the truth?

People who think about killing themselves would go anywhere for relief.

Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Isa.58:6
