    I am aware of no such passage. Heaven didn’t occur to the people in that area until very late in the Bible writings. It is highly likely an introduction from the Greeks.

      They definitely considered it a sin though? Even if not grounds for not getting into heaven due to it not existing to their knowledge.

        Oh the theist consider it a sin but I am not aware of it being explicitly laid out as one in the Bible, could be wrong I admit.

        It makes sense when you think about it. You can’t have your slaves offing themselves.
