You are basically arguing that your salvation is based on works, rather than the grace of Jesus. There is not a Bible verse that condemns someone for suicide, or any other commandment.

Suicide is nothing more than yet more concrete proof that you were a sinner, and that you needed his salvation. There is no biblical proof that when Jesus cleaned your slate, that you now have to seek new unique forgiveness for every new sin afterwards. That is where purgatory, indulgences, etc, comes from.

Jesus said nothing of the sort, that’s a man made doctrine that arose when some early Christian cults began the suicide thinking as a way to quickly join God.
