Why does the Church regard suicide as a crime when neither the Old or New Testament mention anything of the sort?

This user is correct. Suicide as a sin throwing away God's gift of like was instituted as a doctrine after early Christians realized the logical consquences of the heaven doctrine, namely that it's bet to convert and then immediately kill yourself for your free eternal reward. They had an actual problem with this.

Bizarre shit was ongoing for a long time anyway which orthodoxy has always tried to manage. A lot of Catholic doctrine has its origins in controlling or thwarting the weirder excrescences of people's theological homebrew.

probably this.
how could the church make money if people just started killing themselves to go to heaven before being able to pay their dime?

very cute.
i really want to lick her face for some reason.

>dashing infant head on rocks isn't killing because they're evil goyim
Isaiah 13:16

Those laws probably only applied within the Jewish community.

True. Moses was hailed a hero for killing an egyptian who beat a hebrew slave. Based on tribalism.

That could be the case or maybe it's just a mistranslation of murder. I do agree that there is tribal morality in the bible. Pretty sure the Jews were allowed to be usurious when it came to heathens.

I might be wrong but previous user might be refering to the jewish translation which states "thou shall not do any murder"

It's so funny because the majority of christcucks would think is appalling lol.

The amount of times I've heard christoids defend that line with literal
>it's okay when we do it
Reasoning is amazing. MYSTERY BABYLOOOONNNNN!!!!

Kill the little kiddies that had no choice where they were born and were brought up by their heathen parents for Jesus goy.

That is a prophecy about the horrors of war in Babylon. There is nothing controversial about it.

It's a prophecy about what will happen to the children of Babylon at the hands of the righteous chosen people. It's not controversial if you're 'chosen' by virtue of your birth

War, execution and divine punishment are tolerated forms of killing in almost any culture, doesn't mean you can expect murder to be legal.
The proscription against murder is one of the seven laws everyone is expected to be followong, including non-jews.

He was not hailed at all, he had to flee in the desert.

Was he not praised for it in the bible?

The Hebrew verb רצח (r-ṣ-ḥ, also transliterated retzach, ratzákh, ratsakh etc.) is the word in the original text that is translated as "murder" , but it has a wider range of meanings, generally describing destructive activity, including meanings "to break, to dash to pieces" as well as "to slay, kill, murder".

It's a prophecy aginst the sin and abomination of Babylon more than a Jews strong one. It's not only "the chosen" who do it.

Listen, a noise on the mountains,
like that of a great multitude!
Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty is mustering
an army for war.
5 They come from faraway lands,
from the ends of the heavens—
the Lord and the weapons of his wrath—
to destroy the whole country
