Is there bible scripture that talks of suicide being an unforgivable sin.?

No it does not. there is one unforgivable sin mentioned, described as blasphemy against the holy spirit. The church used to teach that suicide was a sin, and because you could not repent from it (’cause you were dead), you were going to hell. The thinking was that God has a plan for our lives, and we rebel against this plan if we end our lives prematurely, thus committing sin etc. The bible teaches no such thing. God wants the best for his ‘kids’ just as we do for ours. We don’t try to live their lives for them however, and give them the freedom to choose who and what they are to become. It really hurts to see your kids make bad decisions however, especially when you have to stand back and let them cop the consequences because they have to learn one way or another what the consequences of those choices are. Suicide is at least as painful for God as it is for us who are left, because he (a) knows and feels the pain of the person who commits it, (b) knows and feels the pain of those left
