One has to distinguish, religiously speaking, suicides, accidents and sacrifices. the last one we can tactfully omit.-if someone intentionally takes their own life, this was long considered to be the unpardonable sin- and at one time suicides could not be buried in church cemeteries, or sanctified ground- this has changed, not due to tolerance for the act, but because it is impossible to accurately judge the human soul- for man. Some types of suicides can take other lives in accidents and so on- not good. It is wrong, dead wrong, but whether it is forgivable or not- the church prefers to suspend judgement.

Is taking ones own life a sin and if so can a person who takes their own life be forgiven and enter heaven?

In taking your own life you are turning your back the one of the best things God has given us, the very gift of life itself. In the bible it says thou shalt not murder (the ten commandments). so therefore it is a sin to commit murder or suicide. However it is worse to commit suicide, because there is no time to be forgiven. By commiting suicide you have commited murder with no spare time for forgiveess. If you commit murder you have time for remorse or forgiveness.

Not for that reason alone. The Bible says that the only sin which won't be forgiven is if you call God evil, and that all others can be forgiven.As long as they ask God for forgivness and truly feel sorry, it will be forgiven.Hope thsi helps answer your q! :)Roman Catholic AnswerAny sin, including attempting suicide can be forgiven if the person turns to God, confesses his sin to a priest, has contrition (sincere sorry for offending God) or attrition (fear of going to hell), says his penance, and sincerely attempts to not sin again. The only "unforgivable" sin is to think that you do not need forgiveness, in other words, you are perfectly fine yourself, and do not need God at all. We all must realize our inherent sinfulness in order to be forgiven.
