Why do people say suicide is a sin?

[Anonymous]

I thought the quote “thou shalt not kill” in the Bible only refers to illegal killing.

Suicide is not illegal in most countries. Suicide is illegal in a small amount of countries.

Wouldn't this mean if a person succeeds in killing themself in a country where suicide is legal it wouldn’t be a sin?

Even attempting suicide but not being successful is still not a crime in most countries

God is the only owner of life and death, it is He who created us alone has the right to decide when we should die, so committing suicide is a bit like being independent of God and having the right to choose our death. Life without God is hell.

Bruh, is God subject to the countries of laws. God says marriage is between a man and woman Matthew 19 but the US legalized gay marriage-he isn't subject to borders

Because in the days it was written suicide was seen as illigal killing

Why do u seem to think the bible goes off the rules of the country the person is in when it was written before thise countries currently existed in their current states
